Well, I was looking for a kickstand for my Trance to find none :) e-MTBs miss the e-SUV feature: kickstand mounting points on the left chainstay.
No mounting points on my 'SUV-ed" Brave. Fitted a £12 sturdy kickstand made by Halfords (huge national chain of car & bike parts/garages), was concerned it might slip or twist, but no, it's been brilliant.

Dork disc replacement is an important maintenance item because they yellow with time and you want the bike to look new and there is no better way to do that than with a fresh shinny, clean, and clear dork disc. The larger the dork disc the better, ten inches and up.

I’d like to remove my wheel reflectors, but I’ll need some kind of replacement. Such as spoke reflectors….maybe. I like to be visible. I don’t have the fancy tires with the reflector strip. Maybe I can add them with reflective paint? I don’t really care what my bike looks like, I just want it to serve its purpose in a safe manner.

PS, I almost decapitated a Surron rider, last week. I was getting something from my truck and began to lower the bin door on the passenger side (the door comes down vertically and rests horizontally at elbow height). I’m in the sidewalk. Right then, I hear a buzzing motor. It was on my left. I immediately pushed the door back up, hugged the side of my truck, and looked to stare in the face of the Surron rider. He immediately apologized “Sorry, bro. SORRY!” and buzzed off. I’m staying professional, since I’m working and didn’t say anything. I would’ve liked to ask him why he decided to use the sidewalk instead of the bike lane and where was his bell? Maybe there was a delivery vehicle up ahead of my truck that was blocking the bike lane? I guess it is illegal to ride those in the street so…sidewalk? Maybe he was on Vado? I dunno, good thing I heard him.

Why does clear plastic always yellow? Clear cell phone cases do the same thing.
 
A dork disc is more important than the low limit screw! I had one lady go over her bike and tighten everything, including the loose limit screws.

Last weekend I did a house call for a rear flat on a RADCity 5. Instead of just focusing on the task at hand, I first talked to the guy. Bikes are not just nerd objects, they are expressive extensions of people. Those people have their own customers, also with social needs. He is using it instead of a car for a three-mile daily commute. It is three-times faster than a car, because the paths have no traffic lights. And he arrives relaxed and refreshed, instead of stressed, both directions. He had to walk the heavy-A55 bike two-miles after the flat. So, I suggested that he consider Schwalbe PickUp, or Marathon Plus E-50 tires. I asked how much is it worth to never say when you are late to work, covered in sweat, 'I got a flat again, boss'. So, I am installing the tires now, with sealant. And I just let him know that he has no brakes and that stopping can be a good thing sometimes. I need a vinyl pocket protector to go with my dork disc and the tape on my glasses.

How do you select bud for a mellow relaxing.. with no paranoia and minimal trippiń?
What THC:BCD ratio?
Here's my source...
It's been a while and this is a far cry from a dime bag from the Rastà at the red door on W233rd St. 40+ years ago 🙃
 
Admit you cannot have a kickstand though :)
This is the kickstand that fits my Stance...
