Going the wrong way down a one way bike lane, or blocking the box on a bike lane. Honestly, we have pretty great tourists, these are minor issues.

They work well on loose surfaces such as sand and gravel, but excel in cities because they are incredibly stable, and cannot get jammed in tram tracks, (legacy) storm drains, or gaps between shifting slabs of concrete. They can also be run at incredibly low pressures.

They do have more resistance than normal tires, but not much more, and the difference is negligible for an ebike :)

Reminds me of this dog in Brazil, who can throw it back. :)

I'd love to go back to school, not for better grades, but purely for learning. There are some interesting af fields out there!

Woo! I just put fenders on mine. I don't have a good picture of them yet, though :)

Right on, thanks :)

Good on them, hopefully they didn't bite off more than they can chew. I don't know if RadPower bikes has some insider knowledge, but they told me a bit ago that Lectric had saved the brand when I was getting some of their fenders for my RipRacer (their fenders are compatible, with some tweaking!)

Juiced Bikes are awesome, and I'm really glad that the bikes, the performance and range, and the design language will survive. It's the perfect blend of an ebike and normal bike, with none of the required apps, logins, proprietary parts, or bells and whistles that ebike makers are increasingly adding to their bikes.

Class 3 ebikes are awesome. Looking forward to the new designs! Though the smartphone integration is an active downside, and remote unlock is useless fluff imo, as you should be locking up your bike anyways. Having a good mirror is almost more important than radar. I wish that stuff could be removed to lower the price....

That said, I'm glad to see more 20x3 in (or 4in) ebikes in a portable, city form factor. It makes a lot more sense than long but thin 27in wheels that can get jammed in cracks in the concrete, storm drains, or tram/train tracks.

I already did a month or two ago, I knew he was going to ruin it. Everything he touches dies.

Then, about 20 years later, they did the same thing again, bombing each other flat. Then the US had to bomb the shit out of everyone to prize many countries out of the hands of fascists. Then the EU was created to keep the peace, which fucking worked, at least until the fascists came back and screwed everything up like they always do.

Visiting grandma would be out of this world, though. :)

Honestly, someday it could be like this...
