I would simply carry my car full of 1000+ lbs of lithium batteries down the stairs in the event of an emergency.

Can't you use pulleys and snatch blocks to multiply torque or am I just high?

Going up thirty floors is only like four hundred and twenty (  ) feet of climbing. It’s a lot of stairs, but not a lot of elevation change for a ride.You also have to lift whatever elevator structure there is though, so it’s going to be like climbing with loaded bike.

SimonSays posted:Elevators are counterweighted, you could absolutely pedal one up and down because you're essentially only moving the passengers. Well if you want to put it like that, the counterweight is for half of their maximum capacity. So if you’re a light person on a light bike with no bags, you may get a free ride to the top, but you’re going to have to pedal down from your apartment to ground level, putting in work to lift the difference between your weight and whatever a half‐full elevator comes in at.

Idk I was just musing on it because I like physics and engineering problems but don't have enough actual technical knowledge and was hoping someone would elucidate on whether it's feasible (and they did, thanks!). I worked briefly as concierge security for an under-construction (but already lived-in on some floors) condo downtown. I was really surprised to see that in lieu of a parking garage it had two floors of enormous bicycle parking rooms. Unfortunately they were sparsely used.

The bike room at my previous apartment building was overflowing to the point of being unusable. Bikes were literally piled up in a heap. Building management made some vague attempts to get rid of abandoned bikes every June, but by the time they removed any at all the season was almost over. I just kept my bike on my balcony despite constant notices that this was somehow illegal. Cyclists were also not given garage door openers, so to get your bike you had to take the elevator down to the garage, get your bike, then take the elevator back up to the ground floor. There were only three elevators and one was almost always broken, so it could take 10-15 minutes to get your bike out at peak times. For some reason management didn't see a problem with this.
