What kind of vehicle should I use to transport the Pro frame?

Most hatchback style cars can usually fit at least one partially disassembled Pro frame inside. You’ll want to use a car with a large trunk; it’s even better if the back seats fold down to extend the trunk space.

A pickup truck can carry 2-4 fully built Pro frames in the bed. Most SUVs can carry a single Pro frame in the trunk with no disassembly. Smaller cars may probably require some small adjustments or disassembly such as lowering the handlebars, dropping the saddle, or removing the crossbar to fit in the trunk or back seat.

Most vehicles can fit 2 bike blenders with small adjustments or disassembly. We will provide the hex wrenches you’ll need to reassemble the bike again at your destination.

Any car will work if you’re using a regular bike rack.

A roof rack can help if you want to use a small car and don’t want to do any disassembly. Here’s a photo to show roof rack use and size comparison.

We encourage you to try bike towing with your rental bike. It’s fun, safe, practical and reduces the carbon footprint of your event, and there is no disassembly required! Any bicycle with a rear rack can tow the Fender Blender Pro. There is no extra rental charge for the trailer wheels and hitch, or you can purchase the Tow Kit to travel with your bike blender.

Car Free Day in Dubai pulls in new levels of participation with Bike Blending

Bike Blenders in Dubai at Car Free Day

The Dubai Municipality’s Environmental Awareness Team took it to the people on Kite Beach as part of Car Free Day, an effort to pull over 30,000 private and government cars off the roads on February 21. Their custom branded Fender Blender Pros were the focus of their well-organized activation, drawing in people to experience the joy of pedaling, and then drink the tasty results of their efforts. The man on the left raising his hand is a ‘coach‘ — a crew member responsible for helping people on and off the bikes, pulling them in to the activity, raising or lowering the seat so they get maximum efficiency from their muscles, and cheering for them when they put their all into the pedals.

New video shows why we switched to BlendTec pitchers: better ease of use, better pricing.

Jun 26, 2015Posted by in Blog, Featured News, Fender Blender Pro | Comments Off on New video shows why we switched to BlendTec pitchers: better ease of use, better pricing.

The BlendTec Wildside + XR pitcher now comes standard with our High Performance Upgrade for Fender Blenders. You can still buy Vitamix brand equivalent pitchers at the time of purchase or after, but they’re more expensive. Plus, we like the BlendTec pitcher better. Great news all around. Thanks BlendTec!

Flax and Spinach Power Smoothie

8091997261_905eed16d0_b

This recipe comes from Jessa Hokayam of e2 events in Virginia. They whipped it up recently for a Bon Secours event, and it’s quickly becoming an e2 staple!

Prep It In Your Pitcher:

1. Place your banana in the bottom of the blender, closest to the blades.

2. Add 1 cup strawberries and 1/2 cup blueberries.

3. Add 1/2 cup fresh spinach.

4. Squeeze 1 tsp of lemon juice in your pitcher.

5. Add 1 tsp flax seeds and 2 tsp raw almonds.

6. Top off with 1 cup of ice (if not using frozen fruit) and 1/2 cup of water .

7. Cover with the lid and pop onto your bike blender! Blend until smooth (roughly 30 sec – 1 minute, depending on how hard you pedal), adding more water for desired consistency.

Serve immediately.

Makes 24 oz of smoothies, or double the recipes for you 48 oz High Performance pitcher.

 

For 120 -5oz servings this is what e2 recommends you buy:

3 cups flax

3 cups almonds

2 pounds blueberries

4.5 pounds strawberries

9 pounds bananas

50 oz (25 cups) spinach

6 quarts water

6 lbs ice

1 cup lemon juice

How Loud is the Blender?

How Loud is the Blender?

2894313556_e14fda6af7_z

We blended ice and water (the loudest thing you can blend) and found the following measurements:

At 2 feet, it peaked at 85db for the first few seconds and fell to 75-80 for the rest of the time.
At 5 ft, it peaked at 77 for the first few seconds and fell to 70-73.
At 7 feet, it peaked at 73 db for the first few seconds and fell to 65-70.
At 10 ft, it peaked at 71.

Db are logarithmic like the Richter scale. 85 is 10 times louder than 75.

You can reduce your noise leak to other booths significantly with some type of barrier like a dividing panel, at ear level.

We can’t say what the noise levels will be when people cheer for each other. Hope this helps!
