shit you got more on that? I always wondered whether a bicycle would make a good getaway vehicle on accounts of cops are too carbrained to understand how it can move or how to even tell them apart.

An e bike that can hit 15-20 mph with in a few pedals is probably the best escape vehicle in a city.

Fast, silent, and can move places cars can't.

No license plate, don't need to register it with the government, can buy used ones easily with cash.

Fun fact most ebikes have a governor on them that limits their top speed which can be bypassed by clipping a single wire.

What I'm learning here is if you don't do it on a bright orange custom frame with a 50 units / year production line you could basically do this forever

Indeed, with the rise of cheap and decent e-bikes, it seems pretty feasible with a bit of opsec and planning.

notes: do not conduct heists on a rare pinarello race bike

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

Pinarellos definitely aren't 50 units / year rare so I say DO conduct heists on a pinarello race bike so that after the cops cleared the first hurdle (understanding what a bicycle is) they're gonna look for dentists only
