searching for e-bike recommendations for my disabled ass, that won't break the bank and have an amount of cargo capacity even if it's like a few bags of groceries (more is better, i'm a disaster)? I need to nearly-never pedal and especially not up any hills or anything
Die Zahl der Diebstähle von E-Bikes und Pedelecs in Niedersachsen hat sich in den vergangenen drei Jahren verdoppelt. Mehr als 30.000 Fahrräder wurden laut Kriminalstatistik im Jahr 2023 gestohlen - darunter auch Tausende E-Bikes und Pedelecs.
"At this fair, instead of pony rides, games of chance and fried food, visitors took electric bicycles and scooters for a spin, watched cooking #demonstrations on #InductionStoves, and learned about other ways to make their homes and lives more climate-friendly."
My town has one every year: it's a party. People bring their EVs (two and four wheeled) for show and tell. Vendors have a showcase. There's food and music, and lots of people.
"Electric vehicles as a whole displaced about 1.5m barrels of oil a day globally in 2022, according to Bloomberg. Two-thirds of that – almost 1m barrels a day – was just from electric bikes and mopeds, which are known as electric micromobility."
Pro Jahr gibt es an deutschen Bahnhöfen etwa 2.700 Fundräder. Die Deutsche Bahn bewahrt diese mindestens zehn Wochen lang auf - dann werden sie versteigert. Dabei kommen sogar E-Bikes unter den Hammer.
Hooked up a new controller from Amazon to my dual motor 500 watt bike. I’m a rookie so I just hooked it up to the rear motor. My commute is about 45 mins x 2 per day. It worked great for 2-3 weeks for a total of about 400 miles....
Several old friends came to visit my wife for her birthday. She wanted to ride on a nearby trail, a 5km ride. One friend hadn't biked in 20 years, and was not really wanting to ride that far.
So my wife leant her friend the e-bike, and took an old hybrid bike. The friend was blown away: "this is sooo much fun!".
That's what #ebikes can do. People who just aren't interested in biking get to have fun on a bike again.

Lots of errands today, finishing with full panniers from grocery shopping topped off with a case of wine. 🍷 (UPS missed me a couple times, so I had them hold it at a nearby store)

If you way underestimate the climate benefits of #eBikes, subsidizing them is still a good deal. (Does driving cost society more than $0.02/mile? Yes, by a factor of 100 at least, but that also seems like a super low cost for the carbon. They say reforestation would be more cost-effective, but lately the forests burn up a lot.)
