I want one of these so bad. Slick, safe, and can carry a ton. Unfortunately they are made on the other side of the planet. Despite having a stellar biking network, we are just too far away, and domestic cargo bike options are few and far between. They also all share a very similar design language.
I love the modernity of this bike. Every ecargo bike should be festooned with lights, plenty of torque, and fat tires for tram rails and potholes.
I'd definitely do the disc brake conversion!
Tubeless are nice. Tubeless tire fluid is basically just like blood. When the tire is punctured (assuming it's not a catastrophic puncture) it will automatically reseal and coagulate around the hole. It's typically used more for off-road/downhill mountain biking. Some city bikes also use it, but dealing with a flat is much easier in the city.
Man, the scooter formfactor scares me past 20-25. I'd want much bigger wheels for something that can do north of 30. Imagine getting speed wobbles or hitting a fist-sized rock doing 50.
Thankfully it seems like this is exclusively for track use, but even then, good God that is really pushing the envelope of that formfactor.....
Hope this one holds up better than the last!
Can you swap the batteries and cassette from your old bike to your new one?
Here’s an idea: If we want safer streets, how about we start by addressing the machines that weigh two and a half tons and can hit 100 mph, not the ones that top out at 20 or 28 and are powered by a one-horsepower motor the size of an orange.
This made me chuckle on the train. Hilarious, but true. I like the orange comparison.
Morningstar sausages are pretty solid. But good Lord, the bacon looks like construction paper.
Honestly, what I'm really hoping for is clean meat, labgrown. It should curb deforestation, reduce the environmental strain, and help wolves curb CWD in deer populations.
Dyson swarm, yes. Dyson sphere, not on our home system. The risks of blotting out your only livable planet's biosphere is too great, not to mention stuff like the dark forest theory.
It feels like everything is running on a VM, and the hypervisor is running constantly. Or something odd like that.
Certified hood classic.
I was shopping for clothes at a indie clothing place, and they asked if I was wearing underwear when I requested the key for the changing room. I said of course, and asked why. They said they'd had a number of patrons who apparently destroyed merchandise by not wearing underwear or cleaning their ass.
Seared into my memory, lol.
Transit is pretty good for turn by turn on bikes!
