most of them are rebranded Xiaomi scooters. of course you can download firmware hacks that retune the ESC to increase the top speed and acceleration

On the other hand, the used market is incredibly high depreciation, and i'm going tomorrow to look at a 450w scooter with new batteries for $130, retails for $400ish

they come in both pedal assist and throttle models. the throttle type is cheap, but really quite frightening to ride. the pedal assist is rad as hell

Notorious b.s.d. posted:they come in both pedal assist and throttle models. the throttle type is cheap, but really quite FTFY  I built an e-bike for Mr Ozzy a few months ago using a Bafang BB kit and it's the best. The stupid thing will wheelie if you jam the throttle in the lowest gear, I'm ~190lbs and can't get enough weight over the front wheel to stop it. On the flip side the pedal assist is dumb as a bag of rocks, and if you have it turned up too high whilst trying to make a tight u-turn for example, it's entirely possible for it to get carried away and pitch you off the back like some sort of spooked electro-mechanical horse.

ArmZ posted:drat thats better than citibike The thing with Bike Angels is that you get some neat perks in a month if you check the map and walk a few extra blocks, but you can't make actual money at it. Even if you were to poopsock the membership extensions and had a good circuit, it comes out to like $2-3/hr in discounts. The people getting thousands of points a month are doing soley for OCD "number go up!" Skinner box reasons. As Skinner boxes go though, it's at least healther than every mmo and f2p game so..

yeah, like one of the people in that article is an ultramarathoner who probably makes it part of his routine: do a segment on a bike, run back to the other rack, etc.
