Seems OK to me in a city setting where there are crowds of people everywhere and you never know what they are going to do especially when their eyes are glued to their phones. One weird thing for me is the national park near where I live that has a series of gravel trails with lots of hills and...

Old house? In my house all outlets are 20A with lighting being the only 15A.

I saw something similar on a rerun of Two and a Half Men. It involved roller skates and a ramp. One teenage boy was in front of the ramp wearing roller skates after stuffing himself with baked beans and the other stood behind him with a butane torch. Didn't work as I recall.

That's just what I use and it works great. I can raise the bike a few inches to a few feet depending on what I'm doing. Got mine on Amazon and think it was about $25.

On my own. Roads and bike trails. Lucky to live just a few miles from a nice section of Acadia National Park that's not on the island. Several nice trails that are barely used even during tourist season. I can often ride those trails and see very few hikers or bikers and sometimes none at all.

Must have taken some really powerful weed to come up with that.

just one at the end of the left bar

Same rule on park trails where I ride. I just unplug it when I ride those trails which converts class 2 to class 1.

I've never been concerned about battery fires or a little extra weight when it comes to Ebikes. I do like the abundance of sodium vs lithium though.

I would think it would depend on how much weight you're talking about.

The cars could really make a difference too. EVs now are out of reach for most.

How much? I would guess all of it.

I vote no. Anyone thinking about buying a bike should first know the rules in their area.

My fingers are starting to get a bit stiff and sore so was looking into compression gloves to help especially when riding. Has anyone tried those?

Fat tire to me just means a more comfortable ride. The roads where I live are at best just good. No bike lanes. Lots of cracks and potholes and shoulders that are 6" drops in places if a car should force you off. All those things are better navigated with a fat tire with say 20lbs of pressure...
