to get to a 52V #SuperCapacitor with 20 x 2.7V 3000F capacitors at 5.35 x 2.36 inches each, $30 each and $50 in balancing boards, like $750 maybe all in a case 24 x 5 x 6in and they're 3Wh/each so 60Wh, 3.6kW*minutes! 1kW for 3.6min, etc. the cargo #eBikes would zip but that's overkill for a personal bike. I have no idea what I'm doing or what it weighs.

A few years ago, I predicted car and motorcycle manufacturers would get into the e-bike market given the high demand, decent margin, and ability to differentiate with established design and manufacturing capabilities.

Harley-Davidson’s fugly and overpriced Serial1 did not prove me right.

However, Mini announced its E-Bike 1. It’s beautiful and priced appropriately within the high end range.

Quite an exciting reveal today from Gocycle - the longtail is here and as expected it's very different to much of its competition, even if only for its 22kg weight. Can't wait to try this one:

Cargo ebikes: does anyone with practical experience have an opinion on basket in front, or to the rear?

Verkehrsministerium: Fahrradblinker sollen für alle erlaubt sein

Egal, ob mit Motor oder ohne: Das Verkehrsministerium will künftig flächendeckend Blinker an Fahrrädern zulassen. Bislang geht das nur für spezielle Modelle. Eine Pflicht soll es aber nicht geben.

hi - what electric bike (if any) would you recommend to an adult who learned to ride fairly recently? Lives in an urban setting, looking to do leisure/fitness riding mostly for now. Fairly cautious rider.

Spotted on the Wells High hill in Hillsdale, nature is healing etc. I took a picture of this bike with my phone but software is all a lie so it's still from the video #BikeTooter I think it's #omnium #cargoBikes? Is that a chair? I don't think I saw a motor but what's happening on that seat tube? #eBikes?

I just rode my bike 15 minutes round-trip and came back with spicy noodles from the food cart in Hillsdale. #eBikes make streetcar suburbs into #15minuteNeighborhoods

"Finally, we find that even when incentive programs are designed cost-effectively, the costs per ton of reduced still far exceed those of alternatives or reasonable social costs of GHG emissions. We conclude that the argument for allocating public funds for e-bike incentive programs must be based on the co-benefits of e-bike travel and ownership, and not solely on GHG reduction" (like the 40k/yr people killed with cars, injuries, asthma & sedentary diseases)

Dunno, seems like it's a big deal that Jalopnik, of all publications, publishes a love letter to #ebikes

Good followup in article comments, too.

Besides that UPS lost half of the checks their drivers requested and is now trying to bill me for 50% of the $320 charges and fees, get a load of these customs tariffs wtf spokes, rim, mounting rail and why is trump's #eBikes tariff still with us?

Kudos to the EU Parliament for their ruling on replaceable batteries. Great news for consumers and the environment... and their ruling will not only cover smart phones, #eBikes too will have to follow this new regulation.

There is a conversation to be had about e-bike safety, but this lead is INSANE. Two stories of deaths on #ebikes and ZERO comment on the fact both were killed by Cars!
Feel like it could drive an entire @TheWarOnCars episode.

Partnering with Velotric to road test their new cargo bike and this thing HAULS! Like, literally. It's not just quick, it actually hauls a lot of gear.
Here are my early thoughts on the Velotric Go 1!
