I have an Aventon abound cargo bike, and I’m about 220 riding weight. On 2nd level assist (of four levels) which is where I ride 99% of the time, I get about 30 miles. Fairly flat terrain. I also ride on the fast side and I’m in decent mountain biking shape - that definitely matters, I almost never touch the throttle.

Most cargo I’ve had on it was around 150lb. No idea what the range reduction would have been but the bike handled just fine.

Well, obviously? What else do you demand to go with your cheese?

I’m sure he’s a kinder, gentler Huckabee nowadays.

You’re exaggerating. It’s only $70 billion so far.

My understanding is that range estimates are based on 150lb rider, flat ground, lowest assist setting. Ebike standards are pretty Wild West right now though, so that’s worth a fart in a hurricane.

Dang, I was wondering why I clapped the other day. Good to know.

Pretty good discussion of this.

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.

People like that thrive on spite.

For mail in balloting at least in my state you sign the return envelope NOT the ballot itself.

That’s not at all how it works. Micro$oft paid a LOT for those congresscritters, precisely so they DON’T have to pay for it. We do. We always do.

I’d rather see people panic buying toilet paper than ammunition

I have one of those floating around here too, the thing I didn’t care for with that model was that the blade doesn’t stick out very far. The one-handed action is nice tho. The one I carry every day is this one https://a.co/d/29pk73c but it’s not currently available.
