A New Look for the Electrabike Amsterdam Classic 3
This is my favorite bike. It’s a 2008 Electrabike Amsterdam Classic 3. It’s the bike that I bought that resulted in my current obsession with bicycles. I believe that a bike should be practical and functional.
The basket is a new addition: my new look. I took it off of an actual Dutch made bike that I later sold. The basket is made in Holland. It has hooks that grab one side of the rack on the bike, and a big lever/swing-arm that grabs the bike frame:
I also took this adorable bell off of the Dutch bike:
Brrrriiing! Brrrring! Look at the cute Queen of Holland emblem on the bell!
The basket is perfect for running errands, garage saleing, etc. Today I went to the Walgreens to pick up something for my wife…and she’s second generation Dutch, sort of like my bike, and as cute as a button herself!
See how the bottom of the basket is actually made of pressed wood? It makes me want to go back to Amsterdam…….

Awww… thanks, Hub!
And by the way, those wheel reflectors came off of a vintage 1970′s Schwinn. They are my favorite wheel reflectors and I used them to replace the visually unexciting clear plastic reflectors that came on the Electrabike. In case anyone is wondering.
