Eu estive pensando em criar uma comunidade de Filosofia por aqui. Mas não sei se isso seria produtivo. Eu gostaria de saber se a Filosofia é um tópico de interesse no Lemmy. Qual a opinião sincera de vocês, participariam?
Well I’ve saved my pennies and I now finally have enough to get an Ebike. after HOURS of watching youtube videos, reviews, etc. I think I’ve narrowed my choice to these two options....
Honestly, I wouldn’t get either of those. I have a heavy folding ebike myself but I regret the purchase and wish I’d saved up for something quality instead of a cheap bike shaped object. I spent hundreds after I bought my Engwe to try and make it safer, reliable, more ridable, but even after upgrading the brakes, getting Tannus Armor, a better saddle, tune ups, etc. it’s still nowhere near a bike from a decent brand.
If you’re looking for budget options, I’d recommend something one the less expensive end of REI’s bikes or maybe something from Lectric (but again, most of the folding ebikes out there are pretty pointless). Don’t order from these weird-ass Amazon companies with names straight out of a random name generator - it’s a waste of your money.
No way, there are definitely reputable, well established ebike companies out there. Most of them are the same ones who make reliable bicycles like Specialized and Trek. Ebikes aren’t really that new at this point, in fact the first electric bike was invented in 1895.
What makes a fundamentally good ebike though, is that underneath the motor and battery is a good, solid bicycle. Buying some cheap, fly by night no-name bike ups the odds that something breaks while you’re riding and you end up with a life altering injury. Worse yet, the poorly manufactured battery Alphabetsoupcompanyname used is more likely to catch on fire and that 15AH battery is now an incendiary bomb that burns your building down.
It’s really, really not worth it to gamble on random Amazon ebikes, go to your local bike shop or an REI instead.
I almost bought one in 2006 but ended up buying a Trek mountain bike instead. I don’t really regret it though, I still ride the MTB today and I can’t even remember the name of the ebike maker so that ebike probably would’ve been toast years ago, never mind being able to source replacement batteries.
I have to wonder how this would impact fossil fuel competitors like solar and wind, given that both are driven by the sun. I’m sure these rich bastards would love to kill two birds with one stone.
