Had to upgrade my beach machine!

I picked up a Rad-Mini folding Ebike a few weeks ago. I've taken it detecting once so far and it worked great. Sure beats the 1.5 mile walk from the parking lot to the old scout camp I was hunting!

I'm still trying to figure out the best way to haul everything on it, but have fenders and a basket for the rear rack on order.

When I take a motorbike I fold the scoop up into a backpack and Usually carry the detector like I'm in a horse in a jousting match. Saves time when I get there and can keep an eye on all the cables

I got to do more figuring myself. Right now i have a big clamp i slide over the bars on one end and clamp my scoop head and the other side i have a loop of rope so the scoop rides sideways. The detector i carried in one hand while holding on to both grips. Not really the best way to ride.

If you manage to figure out a good solution to holding the detector please let me know! The basket I ordered looks like it's wide enough to strap the detector sideways, but at 20mph even hitting a branch with it could be a big problem.

This is what I've done so far, but it doesn't exactly evoke a lot of confidence when my CTX is one slip or fall from total destruction.

This works good for me. It's actually a surfboard carrier.
