Yes, 25 km/h (15.5) mph is ridiculous. I can cruise way faster on a normal bike. And the assist to hit 15.5 mph likely cuts out a couple mph earlier, making the real cruise speed lower.
Cars barely have any computer controlled limits for speed or acceleration.
Oh man, most of my trips are basically unaffected by traffic. We now frequent areas that were too annoying to drive to.
Thanks! Yep, I know his channel. Great content.
That’s essentially theft. Nobody expects 1/2-1/3rd of a full charge to cost $100. They probably get a lot of people with that little game.
I didn’t think biking was viable in the US, but for fun I bought an ebike. Turns out it was able to replace the vast majority of my car trips here in Austin.
It’s interesting that this sub is so fanatical about (environmental benefits of) EV adoption, while also having no problem defying battery health guidelines because “not my problem.”
Perception of EVs would be drastically different if public charging had been dead reliable like the Tesla stations.
It’s a shame the most popular vehicles in the US (trucks, SUVs) are the least aerodynamic and deadliest to pedestrians and other road users.
