I'm really happy they got UL certified, I realize this community tends to really like DIY solutions, but if I'm going to recommend an ebike to my parents or to strangers, no way am I recommending one without a lot of safety certifications.

This is a classic solution in search of a problem. The problem with stop lights isn't that corporations control them, the problem with stop lights is that the general population thinks that cars are the only way to get around and demand that city officials optimize street and roads for cars. Adding a bunch of crazy verification steps will not solve this problem.

This is another social problem that technology just can't solve.

Are you a fastfood business with over 50 locations?

Usually in my pants pocket, but if I'm in shorts and the pockets are too loose I have a bag that's clipped to my handle post that has just enough room for wallet, phone and keys.

I mostly agree with this, I have it on my laptop. Took an hour or two to learn it, used a live image from the website just like any distro. Not for beginners, but someone that is used to arch, after you rtfm it's fine.

Yeah, the problem is his beloved Amsterdam got better based on incremental changed done by advocates, so I don't really blame him while at the same time it's not the right answer, imo. We should all be demanding change.

I'm glad it looks like it's good, I'll probably pick this up on steam deck, I've been itching for the escapism of a life sim.

I recommend going to a local bike shop that sells ebikes if you have one near you and trying them out for a ride. I have a tern HSD (not exactly cheap) but there's a lot of competitive options. Do you plan on only commuting or like grocery runs?

 

The news organizations will reveal explosive emails detailing how trucking industry officials pressured Department of Transportation regulators to alter a report that recommended a nationwide mandate for guards specifically designed to protect pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists. The guards are already used around the world and in several U.S. cities.

It's all good as long as drivers aren't inconvenienced very slightly /s

Not surprised by League of Legends fans acting like everything is fine with a shit company they happen to use a product from.
