Cost-Benefit Comparison: High vs. Low Octane Electric Bikes

Now you are truly getting ugly and insulting with your posts. I won't take the bait and get into a war of words with you. I even edited my last post prior to your response in an attempt to soften it because I was trying to help. Then you saved my first draft in an attempt to antagonize me. I've seen you edit posts after a response has been posted to make yourself look better. So now you insult me and an industry member. Wow! You are very dishonest and disingenuous in your posting, I'm out!
Why do you not Report this to Court? I reported you in this post. It is just a matter of time. You have already established a track record.
 
Your contribution so far has been: Quantity > Quality.

Unfortunately you have zero experience in these subjects and your posts therefore are mostly misleading, wrong and irrelevant. If I was Court or a sponsor of this site I would actually be worried that your nonsense shows up high in Google searches.

Who died and made you self-appointed site administrator? You must be in self-denial or deluded.
 
I could be deluded. It could happen to everyone. :) By the way, this is not an attack on you but the mountain lion appears to have lazy eyes.
Bramble, Cease and Desist. I consider this harassment. My cougar confrontation and ways to avoid one are posted here.

I consider your rambling harassment, have you ever ridden an ebike? You may have brought some good to the site but to me it is not worth reading the number of times you make your posts self serving. I also agree that your posts have effect on Google searches for this site and do not think in a positive way at all.
 
Mike,
Couple of weeks ago you mentioned Dr. Kahneman and I had some respect for you.
You're squandering the trust and respect of community members by posting something confrontational, irrelevant and repeated posts.

Looks like you're too enamored by technical jargons of Li-ion battery chemistry but it is very apparent from your posts that you need to gain some fundamental knowledge of how batteries work. Perhaps then you can think of different chemistry's.

What Brambor and Mark said is true. E-bikes are one of those products where you need to ride/own one to gain sufficient understanding. Reading and googling can only take you so far.

May be you're lonely or went through a bitter divorce and need some companion or whatever it is, we are happy to welcome a new member.
AND the members are kind but spamming every post with 18% grade hill, groceries, Li-ion chemistry is borderline harassment and annoying.

You started with mobile phone app and 5 star plots and have moved to all kinds of technical spaces and this looks like a restless man trying to overcome energy than a man of science seeking to understand something.

Don't overpost, keep threads between two people in a PM form. For the sake of Dr. Kahneman and yourself, please be respectful and people will do the same.

Have a great day .

Did you notice the first post?

A friend traded his eBike for a Honda FSX150 scooter, so I want to avoid his mistake. His primary reason was poor uphill performance on 10% to 18% grade hills. Second, ten mile trips in local traffic were too difficult.

I keep on hearing this eBike-club argument. Is this web site sponsored by AAA?

Mike, you keep fighting anyone who disagrees with you ,this is the point that we are all making. This board is for all to share through Court's work. you are abusing your guest privileges either not caring or not realizing. your momentous posting has single handedly changed this board. Many of us original members are not enjoying this change.

Which one is it , you don't care or you don't see it? Either way many others do see it and do care and wish it was toned down. I hope you do dial it back and stay with us or maybe you can start your own

You seem to think his is some type of members-only club. I do not see that. Do I need to renew my AAA membership?
 
No I don't think that will help, you need to live in the real world
I live in the heart of the Silicon Valley, the home of companies like Tesla and Apple. I certainly do not live in your world. I imagine your world looks like the picture in the first post.

800 posts of technical assumptions and you haven't yet tested riding an ebike.

The reality is that you will not want to pedal a 30 lb ebike without a battery because it sucks (it does not pedal the same as a 30 lb regular bike)
I think some eBike riders have been so disrespected by traditional bicyclists, that they have a chip on their shoulder. The boss kicks the worker. The worker goes home and kicks the dog. Explains a lot of "in-group" social behavior.

Dude. Living in the kingdom of silicon valley has significantly eroded your introspection. I'm a jackass but there are a lot of smart people on this forum who have tried to reason with you to no avail. It's a gift to you and you are so blinded you don't see it.

Do not confuse beating up and bullying people with reasoning. Only dictators reason in that manner. Ad hominem attacks are an entirely different approach than addressing the substantative issues. Ad hominem attacks clearly describe all the responses to this post from you and your gang. The exceptions are clearly contrasted.
