this is a doomed idea, youd be better off doing open source ebikes and emotos

What about those of us who live in colder climates?

Lipo and silicon carbon lithium batteries are a thing, you can also just wrap some wool around the base of the bike. I use one in 4 foot snow all the time

I'm more thinking about myself, not the bike. Riding around in freezing temperatures is not my idea of a good time.

oh, ive been able to do it just wearing a wool dress in -20c. built different i guess 🤷‍♀️

my tip is to wear good waterproof (and thus windproof) boots and mittens (not gloves)

I mean, if I had no other choice I could, but like nah fam, I'm good

I just think it's interesting people are so against bikes in winter when they also love skiing

[-] ToTheGraveMyLove@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

I mean, call me crazy but don't want to go skiing every morning before work, and then go skiing again in the afternoon after I've worked a full shift either. Also, never said I was against bikes in the winter, its just not super practical as a primary means of transportation for most people.
