Might cut down on theft if people can’t recognize that it’s an e-bike? Though, thieves probably better at recognizing bikes than anyone else.

How long is the trip? Apple allows returns in 14 days or less and we shouldn’t feel bad taking advantage of it.
The C part I get. The M and the S, not so much.
I suppose it’s the lowest hanging fruit. Glad to know it’s out there though.

Now, just six months into Trump’s term, Ellison has procured for himself a sweeping empire, ruling over acres’ worth of A.I. infrastructure, gaining a megasized media arm for himself via Paramount-Skydance, potentially winning another powerful media apparatus with TikTok, and seeing his own ideologies and goals reflected by a friendly White House.

When you see Mamdani looking all normal doing normal person things—petting bodega cats, riding public transport—you realize just how bizarre and estranged our average candidate for public office is. Rich martians in flesh suits
Depends on the pump. Portable ones can be tough. My little hand lyzene takes a few minutes and is really hard to get it over 80 psi. Definitely wouldn’t use this to replace a floor pump. I’d probably end up carrying both if I had an electric one just because of battery fear.
