That’s a fantastic build, I only wish e-bike manufacturers would offer similarly spec’s bikes, a days ride is very rarely 30 km, so 200 min or more like 200 km range would be a bike worth investing in. I feel similarly about electric cars too, charging mud route or at destinations is rarely possible so 300 miles or greater are the only vehicle ranges I see as remotely practical. ( yes, I cycle in km and drive in miles , weird maybe) Oh yes an edit - speed, who rides so slowly, those ebike speed restrictions are crazy low.


You can get off-the-shelf ebike batteries at least half as big as the author's.

Speed restrictions are somewhat better in the US -- class 1 is allowed to assist up to 20 mph, and class 3 is allowed to assist up to 28 mph. Both are higher than 25 kph (15.5 mph).


Thinking hard and fast with positive results is like a drug, ah those were good and rewarding days in my past, would jump back into that work framework any time ( that was running geological operations in an unusually agile oil exploration programme )


Now I want one….


My first Linux install was Yggdrasil, just for that, this interests me…


You’re OG. My first was some unknown distro that installed in DOS on my Win95 machine and dual booted that way. Totally confused me. Second was Red Hat 6.0 in 1999. That one, I was a little more successful with.


I did try that weird linux on fat32 distribution but like you I completely forgot its name. I remember that I installed it because I wanted to run bitchx and be able to send ping of death!


> unknown distro that installed in DOS on my Win95 machine

I had that from some magazine included cd ; my father thought I had completely messed up the family PC.


It looks good and has many soold features that meet most needs, but seriously lacking the simplest mud guard prediction that almost all no sport bikes need


Websites don’t always work well for many, go and work somewhere with no internet….


This is something i wanted with the app. In fact it works well with no internet. The exercise videos not so much because i could not figure out how to store high quality videos in app


Looks great, looking forward to using this, many thanks


Thanks!


Wish it were cheaper - but I bit already - I think at a lower price you would move multiple times more


I appreciate that. Will also be monitoring price. Thanks!


Sounds dreadful !!!


Ok you made me laugh out loud in a local Coffee shop!!
