I'd be all for a "smart system" that can trace multiple small packages to the same source and related destinations and whack the hell out of them with fines. You can't put a system like this in overnight. A decade, perhaps. Deminimus makes a lot of sense for e-commerce and small business, but...

Have they been good to you?

No, none of this is normal, acceptable, or "the way it is". A good shop won't mess around with brakes, they will keep it until it's 100% right. It's a liability issue. The soft front brake is most likely a bleed issue. Assuming the rotor is true, the unequal wear is most likely a dirty or...

Call all the shops in your area and ask. Our shop owner and ride leader rides a Nytro. If anyone gives an e-bike rider a hard time, he'll kick them out.

Can you hear it from inside the house? Mine are wirelessly connected. When one goes off, they all go off.

That reminds me to get a new fire extinguisher.

The EU certainly is.

No politics for me, Stefan. You went there, I won't take the bait.

Fire and CO, right above them.

Chinese sites like Alibaba and Temu are doing just what Amazon does, passing the cost onto the consumer. Poland could easily get back to 2.5-5% tariffs with the US. Bust the EU cartel and do a trade deal with the US. It's already falling apart.

Beautiful pottery.

I get that, but we have plenty of bots that don't post links. What is their objective? Is it that the brands and models can be scraped and increase the SEO? If so, that's a crappy way to do it.

I get SEO, but that doesn't explain to my pea brain why one would create a member account and use a bot for posts unless it's the forum owners doing it for themselves.

Right. On the flip side, US customers (mainly businesses) were paying tariffs on Polish items over $800. That is the definition of unbalanced trade, and the reason why tariffs are being levied on US goods abroad. Amazon has chosen to pass tariffs along to their customers. That's their business...

What to do about e-bikes with integrated batteries? Take the bike apart every winter to put the battery in a fireproof bag/box?

Why do people put bots on forums like this? What is there to gain?

Wow. We were in the mid teens F last week.

What's scary about this example is that the battery was not charging, and it was not in extreme heat or cold.

If the Chinese had not abused the deminimus rule, you would not have this problem. Poland has been imposing import tariffs to US shipments since before I was born. Reciprocal tariffs make sense economically. It's about time. Try Hafny mirrors.

Try removing the battery and testing it off the bike.
