I am looking at buying a bike, or a trike, for going down to the shops.
A question though: Why all the fat wheels and heavy heavy non-triangular frames? I do not understand why Why add so much weight and rolling resistance to a bike?
What would it take for cities to retrofit or supplement their #bike counters with #eBike detectors? The growth of #eBikes for #transportation trips should not be underestimated. Maybe an EMF or heat signature? How do the standard ones distinguish multiple bikes at once? #pdxBikes#bikeTooter
I have quite a few trips to London in the coming weeks, and one of the reasons why I look forward to them, aside from the work (I love what I do...), is that I get to ride my #ebike.
I liked my "normal" bike but, for commuting, especially in the nicer weather, the ebike is just superb. Fast, no need for the tube, and I get to meeting in a more pleasant state than if I'd been on my normal bike. And riding around London is far more pleasant than I had anticipated.
"Where once my calculation about whether to ride someplace had to take into account whether the steep hills between me and, say, downtown D.C. would make the ride a torturous ordeal, now those hills disappear..."
"Once I realized this, I made a vow: If I’ve got an errand that’s within 5 miles of my house, I’m gonna ride there. For the most part, I’ve fulfilled that pledge"
Since this was published today, on Father's Day, I'll note that almost every 2-3 trips I take to the grocery store via #ebike, a middle-aged or older man will walk up to me as I pack up my groceries and ask fascinated questions about how they work, how much they cost, and how convenient they are.
A lot of dads don't know it yet, but trust me: dads want ebikes.
This trike style bike is popular in Denmark, can seat up four small children, and is extremely stable when stopped and at lower speeds. A two-wheeled bakfiets is a better option for speed.
Really impressed with the range I got out of the #CargoBike today. Party pace Juneteenth group ride with rides to and from, brewery hang with friends, picking up the kiddo from a birthday party. 54 miles total, still two bars left on the battery. #ebike#BikeTooter
For folks who use an e-cargo bike as their primary mode of transit, what do you do when you have a mechanical issue on the road and don’t have the tools to fix it? #biketooter#ebike#pdxBikes
U.S. sales of e-bikes nearly doubled in just one year as commuters looked for accessible and affordable modes of transportation. If you’re considering one, here’s what you should know.
Suche E-Bike Service im Raum Augsburg:
Kennt ihr eine Werkstatt oder eine/n fähigen Mechaniker/in, die/der einen Kundendienst (Bremsen, Kette, Antrieb usw.) für ein E-Bike Winora SX1 mit dem Antrieb TranzX M19QR/4/13/F im Raum Augsburg anbieten würde? Anscheinend traut sich nicht jede/r an das Modell ran.
Eine Empfehlung oder ein Tipp wäre super. #EBike#Augsburg#FediHilfe
PS. The kickstand is essential. Do not buy without. Also, despite my praise, Specialized sucks. Their sale of app tracking data and the restriction of custom rack options to a $300 fender-rack combo are deplorable.
We’re going to get a new dishwasher soon and looking at the specs on my #ebike, affordable trailers I could buy, and dishwashers at Ikea it is absolutely possible for me to tow this thing home myself.
We’ll probably get it delivered but man I really want to be that guy towing a dishwasher on a #bike. #BikeTooter
what's with the #eBike obsessed bot/"Name12345" accounts on the bird site lately? A bunch of them had the same cleavage-laden profile pics and links to "dating" sites, but some are just faceless and very into e-bikes?
