Florida. Only reason he's still alive is his skin color.

Not suitable for most e-bikes. Too heavy.

If you get the chance to read or listen to "The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory" by Tim Alberta, do it, it was super interesting.

I'm not sure who this is for - if someone is moving to a trike because they have balance issues, they're not gonna be riding it on single track.

I guess it's just an alternative to a regular eMTB, just a different off-road toy. Nothing wrong with that. :) in a way it reminds me of the ski sled thing you sit on like a bike.

The most interesting part of the article

"One of the things that we have done in my office, for the drop boxes across the counties, is make sure that they have fire suppression equipment inside of those drop boxes," Fontes said during a Zoom call with election officials on Thursday. "Unfortunately, the United States Postal Service doesn't have that."

People like that live to 110 on pure spite and meanness. And if you think he's not gonna run again in 2028, regardless of the outcome in two weeks...

Saw a couple people on lectric ebikes today, each with a small kid on the back. None of them were wearing helmets. Guess that's the life hack... never need to replace your helmet if you don't wear one.

I replaced mine earlier this year, got a POC Tectal MIPS. Really like it.

I have the same GX groupset on two bikes - both 12 speed. One is AXS, the other is cable. The AXS shifter never misses. Ever. Can't say that about the cable, which I've adjusted many times. I think it's a great upgrade.

It's also something I can work on, repair, etc. I don't think that's going to be the case with the upcoming setup where the gearing is colocated with the motor, and there's no derailleur. That's going to be a shop (or probably even manufacturer) repair.

People like that thrive on spite.

That water is just big boned

 

I do not live in an Idaho stop state, but I do it regularly.

TL;DR - shitty battery goes FWOOOF

"Hicks explained that Talaria normally only uses a well-respected battery maker known as Greenway Batteries. ... However, due to a “clerical error made by the Talaria team,” some Talaria MX5 electric motorbikes that were shipped to the US included a battery produced by another supplier known as Scud."
