  • I've read that you pretty much have to completely dry your chain off when it gets wet with wax though: With a belt you never really have to worry about drying it off unless something corrosive gets on it. Even when it does get dirty you can literally just hose it down and be done with it.

    This is why I like my Priority Folder: Between the belt and the IGH, it's very easy to take care of. Definitely not as efficient as a well maintained chain and gears though.

  • Reminder: If you see a truck rolling coal, it's morally OK to confiscate their stem valves.

  • Probably Vampire Survivors or Vampire Hunters: Sometimes it's just nice to play something where you don't really have to think too hard.

  • I thought I remember reading Garmin Varia had something like this? Not open to the public as far as I know though.

    As for legality, if a person is out in public on the road, there is no expectation of privacy regarding their vehicle, license plate, etc. but that doesn't stop people from filing frivolous lawsuits that they might even win (especially these days). Sharing evidence of their vehicle committing a crime or traffic violation would not be considered "doxxing" IMO, but consult a lawyer if you're actually going to start a company or website to do this.

  • Yeah, the scale is far worse this time.

  • Rival? lol

    E-Bike Seized On Joliet Junction Trail: Tomczak Law Group Wins Forfeiture For Client 'Trying To Get To Work'

  • You can crash at 25kph and get killed, speed is a factor, but it's not the only one.

  • The ~30l-40bs difference in an ebike vs. a road bike seems kind of negligible compared to the weight of the rider (never mind comparing it to something like a car). How many people get killed by e-bikes every year vs. vehicles?

    The argument that e-bikes are super dangerous to pedestrians just doesn't really hold up under scrutiny when you compare it to cars.

  • It's pretty similar to the Motocompacto from Honda

  • There was a fight scene involving an e-board in this show called Rabbit Hole that was pretty cool (decent show too); I imagine having some sort of micromobility fight/chase in confined spaces could make for a good action sequence.

  • Yeah, but on the other hand, ICE motorcycles have also been referred to as bikes, so it's been a longstanding ambiguity with the term.

  • What bike do you use?

    This electric motorcycle folds down to the size of a carry-on suitcase

  • Rentals could work or maybe a decent folding scooter. If you can get by at all without power, it might be worth looking at Bromptons/Brompnots or perhaps something like a Strida. There's also folding kick scooters as well as powered ones.

    The Litelock X1 sounds like it would be the Ulock for you though, it's not super heavy, fairly compact, but still very cut resistant.

    All that said, if everywhere you need to go is covered by rental bikes or scooters, I'd say at least start out using them to get a sense of what works best for you. There's something to be said for not worrying about maintenance, theft, or storage too.
