Is that why your rack is set up like wheelie bars?

There is a Seagull approaching you flying up from from the right.
There is also a Seagull flying away from you, over your shoulder from right to left.
Same with the Too Goooses, but they be flying right.
Like a long neck 🪿
Or duck.

In Brittan they ride right lever = front brake. I thought I a has stepped through the looking glass to madness for three seconds today. I had just removed everything from the handlebar of a UK bike and flipped the backswept bar upside down and left to right so it looks like a moustache bar from 1928. Cool, right? But when I went to attach the levers they were backwards or upside down. WTF. Then I figured it out. Who knew?
Okay so sculpture idea: For example, people age in known ways. Noses get longer ... So, the sculpture would evolve its shadow depending on the angle of the sun. The sculpture would be abstract and the shadow realistic.

I don't think it's just the UK. My Tesoro model was recalled in the US because some amount of the 2021 production had the levers set up "backwards" for the US. Either mine wasn't one of them, or the selling dealer did the recall. My guess is the latter, because the front brake line is too long and should be trimmed.

It is Australia, too. Could be Ireland as well.

Cannondale has a few sku's which are for the Great Britain Market so one could be mixed up in Hengelo and ended up in the non GB market
Countries mentioned are all GB

I wonder if with Dagen-H in 1967 Swedish bikes changed. That is the day they changed from driving on the left to driving on the right. What about Hong Kong? @Base, I had a bike nerd photograph a bike yesterday, he only focused on components and never took a photo of the bike. He geeked out on parts whist missing the whole.

No.
I had my Topeak Rack Bag all set up properly but it was bouncing around like
and making all kinds of racket,..When I got home my water
had been tossed off.I had it sinched up as tight as it could go, but it was gone.
I cut the cord and tied a bow, but it was too late.
The flashing LED light that I glued to my Rack Bag held super strong though !!
Shoo Goo Kicks Ass !!!@
So,....
I decided to delete the Topeak rattle bag, then flipp and rotate the rack further forward.
I didn't have much in the rack bag anyway, so i put everything in a waterproof bag that I have yet to install properly on my ebike,..
I don't want my tool bag getting tossed into the tire then getting jammed in the swing arm.
So,..
I figure that if I get the moving mass of my tool bag further towards the fulcrum of my four-point rear suspension, I will effectively make the 1.190 Kg bag become more suspended than not and therefore nearly weightless.
I think
s*it up when I 
the Vado.

My old ebike was built for the European market,..
When it was brought to Canada (more than 20 years ago) they flipped the handlebars over to get the twist throttle on the right where it's supposed to be, so now the gripshifter is upside-down on the left,..
I swapped my brake levers on my ebike at the end of last year.
The front brake should be on the right with rear brake on the left.
Just like any normal motorcycle.

Uma, what I've heard is the British arrangement of brake levers had nothing to do with the left-hand traffic. It has just accidentally happened. I'm sure the Swedish had the European brake lever arrangement even before the H-Day.
Just think how it is weird with gas scooters: France has the reversed front brake lever position.

Every Monster deserves a safe and secure home.
The Grip Tape is Awesome !!!
It stays stuck, but you can always pull it off to redo it, reseat it, or replace it.
It leaves no residue behind.
You mentioned touch points when you built your two-wheeled creations.
Grip tape on those touch point can be beneficial.
I glued fabric sandpaper to my throttle, as well as knurling the push lever with a
for gripage.Belt sander belts are Ultra Durable.
I Knurled a pretty damn Knarly pattern in my thumb throttle lever !!!@
Go with the grip tape.
It's removeable, reversible, and reusable.
Tar works pretty good, but it makes a fukin mess.

This is why I moved my rack off the rear triangle and to the seat post. You're killing your suspensions ability to work correctly.My old ebike was built for the European market,..

Just like any normal motorcycle.
The Seatpost mount does have its own drawbacks... but after trying both the Seatpost wins hands down.

I dunno dude?
It just seems so Damn Wrong torquing weight off the seat post??
I'm thinking that I'd snap it right off, or it'd bounce me off the road.
I'm thinking more like Hands-Up, and hang on for dear life. ??

In theory anyway full suspension bikes never have racks or kickstands. The load on a rack impacts the suspension somewhere, and the kickstand might be auto-deployed when going over an obstacle. One exception is the Tero X. It can have a compromised suspension with the rack, and have its kickstand deploy on a log because some people in a focus group said that is what they want.
