My bored random eBike thought of the day

[rich c]

Just how many people in America do you think need help choosing an eBike in any one day? Got to be thousands! How many have it narrowed down to two? Same number? Thinking I could start a consulting business and make the decision for them. Just ask my wife of 48 years. I like making decisions for her, but it might just work on strangers. Second consulting category for my new business, a file of ways to convert that class 2 ebike they bought into a class 3 or faster that they really wanted in the first place. Third category, full instruction manual for anyone with zero tools and experience, on how to convert their 10 year old garage bicycle into a world class single trail mtb, commuter, long distance trekking bike with comfort and a seat that feels like a bean bag for under $750. And final category, a list of loosely patrolled trails that the motorcycle look alikes can ride as fast as they want. Good money there since they will absolutely need battery charging. Snowing here tonight and for the next few nights. Big enough wind speeds and wind chill so rode in the living room today. Just plenty of time for big ideas. Any help for more categories?

Start a business? Perfect time isn’t it? Oh hell no, just all humorous musings. At least an attempt. It’s just curious to me that on every eBike forum, several people everyday, can’t decide on their own. And they have a line up of folks telling them how each of them love their particular eBikes. That can’t be of much help, can it?

I've had a number of people stop me to inquire about my bikes. Often they think Bosch is the bike brand. "I didn't know Bosch made bikes" ... I've had to spell Tern a few times. That's a tricky one. "No, the bike is made by Tern - like the bird - Bosch makes the motor and electronics". I have to explain that one a lot. Now, I know beans compared to most folks on this forum - particularly about electronics and kits. But I've found myself giving some passerbys the explanation of pedal assist vs throttle, regen (why few bikes have them), and a few other superficial aspects of e-bikes and have thought to myself after "maybe I know more than I think I do". Well at least I know more than the newbies that often stop me.

I've thought that perhaps I could be a good corporate or fleet sales guy for e-bikes. Someone to go after the delivery companies or police departments etc. Of course, I'd probably starve to death in reality.

We´re panicked & turned the nation upside down over C-19´s having killed less than 1/10th of 1% US population....
Meanwhile animal populations have declined globally by 68% since 1970. So many creatures that were common around
here when I first came have disappeared. We are such a selfish species.
