Owners aren’t leaving eBikes just anywhere - it’s rude uncaring riders, and they will stop when large deposits become required to rent the things, leading to them being less accessible to many. The same tragedy of the commons events are occurring with Waymos and such with doors being left open.

I checked with Markel about insurance for a new eBike, and it was rather excessive, IMO, at 1% per month of the value of the bike.

Legal definitions of eBikes do not require no throttle, but maximum speeds.

Watts are not what determines the top speed of eBikes, just how quickly they can get there or can hold it.

There’s a Gilligan’s Island plot line hiding here somewhere.

Huh. IT looks, well, attached. Thanks for sharing.

what is that the front of his lip? nice shot!

Hey what do you mean by “it won’t let me upload my art”? I‘m not an artist, but do coding on an iPad, and am wondering what prevents you from sharing your work.

(whew)

Thanks for focus on ALSO’s “why” of the clean-sheet engineering of the TM-B, and that the pricing is ”aggressive“ for the feature set is indeed under-appreciated. The low-CG & high-torque delivered from the center-weight position with damping & minimized unsprung mass will give excellent handling.

To follow up, backdated posts are allowed. My problem seemed to be rKeys being generated by my app instead of letting the PDS do it, since it appears to require the embedded timestamp. PDSing is fun as you learn the limitations. I keep thinking of new stuff to build in the future.

So, bsky engineer types. I’ve stood up a PDS server and gotten it to connect to bsky, but my older (4 day old) test posts don’t show but if i create new ones do. I’d like to create a good deal of info in post form up to a year old. Is there a limit on the createdAt timestamps?

Many states allow eBikes to ride on the sidewalk.

Because federal (and most states) law created a “low-speed electric-bicycle” category so they can legally be treated as traditional analog bicycles for access purposes, and called the noncompliant “motorized”. Yes, some are illegally modified to be or even newly sold noncompliant.

Laws define motorized vehicles, and eBikes by definition are not.

I’ve … just done this.

He finally finished reading Lisa Simpson’s detailed review of his book.

I want sweary Australian annotation.

pick up the nearest book, turn to page 42, and post the second sentence

“Leveraging the enzymatic power of koji, you can coax flavors out of food you wouldn’t be able to use otherwise.”

We should have infinite time zones since noon should be whenever the sun is directly overhead at any given location.

The cowards will gleefully comply.

The number of authors I’ve reached out to over my life and who found the time to respond with nice words of their own surprise me.

Yeah, when he described his own plan as “half baked” he was being generous. All this can be vastly simplified with easily categorized situational speed limits with tickets for noncompliance. Sidewalks overtaking people, protected vs unprotected lanes, riding with traffic - all deserve different.

I still use two spaces, as God and Sholes intended.

Make it cost one shiny nickel per use, and blueSky could retire the US debt next year.

The battery *charges* at 240 watts, over USB-C no less, but it holds 538 or 808 Wh, depending on selection.
