They are currently on a Black Friday sale at their website for $168, normally $240. (Sale on until Nov 28th). But I'm happy to wait for your update regarding the replacement batteries. I will be riding for longer than an hour so would appreciate a glove with more battery range (just like an EV!😂)

@RabH - I'm going to look into those gloves you have. They sound like an excellent addition to my winter riding wear.

But on a good note, Stefan, the Fates were in your side and you're still here to tell your wonderful stories of biking around Poland. Rather read those than an obituary!! No more distracted walking!

Nice article. Thanks for sharing it. Upbeat as much as possible in this day and age. I liked that there was thought about how to make life easier for people who want to put bikes in the bed. I already have a Thule hitch mount bike carrier ready for my R1T for day trips. I'd already decided that...

That doesn't sound like too bad of a price for a hybrid with a loyal following.

Hopefully within the budget of the middle class looking for a hybrid stepping stone into the growing EV world where range anxiety won't be an issue while still offering some of the perks of having an EV.

Thank you. We are coming into the Mid-Atlantic winter season now, so the cold weather will be hanging around for the next 3 months whether I like it or not. If we catch a break, this forum will be the first to know about it. I wish I had your lovely long scenic roads to ride! Sadly, I'm caged...

End of Autumn The entertaining colored leaves that paraded their delightful artistry on every tree in the area only a week or so ago are now just dried brown confetti littering the ground, blown in low heaps by the colder relentless winds of early winter. Those leaves brave enough to continue...

A combined EV for around town/ ICE for long distance travel. I like the idea. My current Prius comes with an abysmal 15 mile range on battery alone, and only if you don't go over 25 mph. This new 2023 should fit right in for most drivers, especially apartment/condo dwellers, for all their needs...

Our added EV fee for Virginia car registration is/was an eye opener. Way more than the folks with ICE cars would pay in fuel taxes annually. Don't know how they came up with the amounts to add onto the annual vehicle registration (probably just tossing dollar amounts into the air and seeing...

Maybe the truck industry. Or the public transportation industry with buses, maybe smaller busses. These two markets need/demand a longer range battery but if trucks and buses are made with swappable batteries they can be kept on the road longer and won't require massive infrastructure to...

And then we have an interesting "add" to the story from Electrik.co who interviewed the woman in the NYT story Reporter Seth Weintrab wrote: I was excited to read today’s NYTimes piece on mainstreaming of electric vehicles. The story with two separate author bylines could theoretically convince...

It will happen. It just takes time... an extended amount of time to be sure thanks to the disruptions of a global pandemic. Happened to the first transition from horse to automobile, too. The 1918 pandemic and the global WWI set the new transportation industry on the backburner until the mid...

And now for a lighter post... Yesterday while driving my electric car on the local highway I noticed a Rivian (electric) truck behind me. Said so to my hubby who eagerly checked the rear view mirror on his side. He reads the Rivian forums every day and is learning everything he can about the...

Stefan - any idea exactly what caused your Vado motor to be destroyed? And BTW - welcome to the club.😣

When we were actively into driving our carriages, our commerce interactions (harness repairs,new harness, carriage repairs and parts, etc) were with the Mennonites, not the Amish (who were a stricter sect). I was always fascinated at the "loop holes" the Mennonites used to employ modern...

The last few weeks have been busy, now that the more temperate weather of Autumn has settled in until November gets its "Winter is Coming" script in gear. Two weekends ago we had our annual ebike group ride from our farm, hosting 37 very happy very jovial fun loving ebikers with a great ride...

Once again, I am in awe. Thank you for posting and making my day.

Hang in there 10 more years, and you'll see it. Heck, you might be seeing it in half that time. 67 is still fairly young these days! Younger than I am! 😁

Travelstyle was a computer assisted typo. Didn't catch it. Sometimes I think my autocorrect just like to screw around for amusement's sake. I used the word scary because that's the word repeated to me (in a few conversations) from people who were interested in EVs, but lacking an understanding...
