OP seems to be a shill for Dalat.

Be nice to ride your route with a decent borrowed bike before you spend the real money and see if you like the experience. However, if you buy a really nice pedal bike and don't use it, well, they make great wall art:

Grew up in the east bay. When in high school we would drive to Half Moon Bay then down the coast to San Grigorio, Pomponio, and Pescadero beaches and then back up again. Got into the uplands some. What beautiful country.

Do you have any idea as to why the teeth broke?

Have had one a Trek 7.2 for three plus years, though I thought this thread was about the coming robots.

Those are sure some nice emtb's, stompandgo. I'm kind of partial to the Amflow myself.

Now back to the robots. This vid was posted today on endless sphere: The World's First True Artificial Superintelligence | Asinoid by ASILAB . I don't know whether to buy a shovel, gun, or stock.

Yeah, you'll be flying. ;)

No need to mimic humans. Bipedalism isn't needed on a factory floor.

Already got a bbs02: Want a 510 now.

Generally, I don't think autonomous humanoid robots have all that many industrial roles. Cheaper, more reliable robots are here already, copying humans in a robot form is just technological hubris. Regardless, another steeper technological wave is about to engulf us humans (unless humanity...

Oh wow! Impressive manufacturing capability there in China. Now I want a Bafang mid-drive MTB.

That's where one would use their two range extenders.

Yesterday I was looking at this ebike: Luna Fixed Stealth Ebike . Not really fixed as it has a 3 spd. geared hub, but something close to what the OP was thinking about.

On an older ebike the original battery would be, or should be, toast anyway. The buyer's opportunity is finding a bike with a dead battery that the owner has given up on (and hopefully stored in a dry location.) Just need to find those garages where they sit.

I already have my ebike museum piece, a pristine 2009 Giant Twist Freedom. The ride experience is phenomenal, like you don't even know it's motorized. Was about $2,200 new. Couldn't sell that thing new in the US for a quarter of that today -- too much bicycle, not enough motorcycle. If I wanted...

I was referring to numerous news articles about issues with some of Rad's batteries. Those articles ran for an extended news cycle and would tend to "terrify" the less informed, with the result of turning potential buyers away from Rad. This, along with Rad's other issues, would tend to lower...

Should be some good deals on (used) Rad bikes, it being winter, Rad is underwater, and everybody is terrified of them. How much?

My scale of bad brakes goes back to cheap side pull calipers on steel rims. About as bad as the disc brakes on that Hyper mid-drive I bought this summer. Quality rim brakes work very well, so do cable and hydraulic disc brakes. All depends on the components and setup. As far as the cable pull...

Can't help you with the seat. Not a bicycle seat. I was going to add a layer of closed cell foam on top of my emoto's seat. That thing is so uncomfortable it's hard to sit on for any length of time, but fortunately, the bike has a limited range. So my time of pain is short.
