They're banned from being parked indoors or in garages in many locations, because of battery fires and explosions... permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 11 points 2 years ago* (1 child) First solve your HOA issue. There's way more places without such stupid law and you should fixate your annoyance on your government and HOA instead of a transportation tool. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] over_clox@lemmy.world -14 points 2 years ago (1 child) Did I say anything about HOA? I'm referring to apartments.

What if I wanted to get an electric bike? Only to find I can't park it inside my apartment? That's the point dummy. You've made no attempt to answer my original question, you've only spit out "car brain" at someone that hasn't owned a car in almost a decade. I only brought up Tesla owners because they can actually afford a house. People on electric bikes can probably barely afford an apartment. Get real with your assumptions and nonsense. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) sign I really can't be bothered with people with such aggressive tone trying to proof an issue someone already solved out there. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) Perhaps consider leaving out unecessary provocations such as "Ahh, car brain, defensive as always, never consider the alternative." and maybe the replies you're getting would then be more polite aswell. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 4 points 2 years ago I must admit that's on me, but if that person didn't structure their comment and replies like a sea-lioning attempt, the conversation would definitely be better. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) In Finland you're allowed to park mopeds where ever you're allowed to park bikes aswell (as long as it's outdoors) When I was 15 and had my 50cc scooter I remember the 5 litre gasoline tank lasting me about a week. Yeah it's still burning fossil fuels but at that rate the emissions are quite insignificant. Being 4-stroke it was quiet too and didn't make my clothes smell like exhaust fumes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] over_clox@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Fair enough. Where I'm at on the Gulf Coast in the USA, there's like absolutely nowhere to park bikes outside, other than trying to find a sign or a pole or tree that's out of the way to lock it up to. And even then, you wouldn't want to lock an ebike up overnight outside, someone eventually will come along and cut the lock and steal it. ☹️ permalink fedilink source parent
