sat on my keys! posted:i see a lot of parents with cargo e-bikes bringing multiple kids to school. seems better than driving until the kids are old enough to bike themselves. the other day i was coming home on the bike path and a dad and his little kid overtook me on an ebike, and in the process the kid turned to me and said "hello! my bike is faster than yours!" and it was incredibly cute

They always sort of give me a smirk as they buzz by. It's ok, they aren't in a car so I let them live out their pathetic lives.

My issue with ebike speedsters is that they don't ever call as they pass you on the left at 22 mph and make you poo poo yourself

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:yeah, pannier bags Yeah buddy! Panniers are the poo poo but I recently finished the gathering the parts for making a diy flatbed trailer. Looking forward to riding around the alleys and piling the trailer with the random junk I find in people garbage. There's a guy in town who has a bicycle boat trailer with a little sabot that he pulls down to the marina and rows around in. He's sort of my hero.

Pryor on Fire posted:Swapping out one element for another does not eliminate the manufacturing and recycling problems. Aren't those e bike batteries all custom sized and integrated into the frame? That poo poo is all just getting thrown in the ocean nobody will deal with that. I mean it's less insanely toxic once dumped, and doesn't involve lithium and cobalt? The actual cells themselves are just jammed into whatever battery case the bike manufacturer wants to go with, so if you want to use the cells for something else you just pull them out Na ion chemistry also looks like it will have amazing cycle life compared to current lithium batteries as well El Pollo Blanco has issued a correction as of 05:21 on May 13, 2022 |
