it is pretty difficult to pedal on its own, the kepler is a 70lb bike with its battery. but i can still feel my legs doing work when i set the assist low and i can get it going on flat ground when i turn off the motor.

i have an ariel rider kepler, it seems like it checks your boxes with the speed and power requirements, and it does have amazing range but i'm not sure how the range would hold up if you're constantly keeping the motor at 100% going super fast all the time. if you could manage to charge it when you get your destination, it might be good for 35 miles. or you could add another battery, i think ive seen youtube videos with the kepler getting a battery mod.

one thing i cant stand are the people that bag up their dog shit, and then leave it on a trail. immediate mood ruiner when im trying to enjoy the wonders of our planet... and i see a plastic bag of dog shit. like, you're doing more harm than good and youre probably aware of that very fact. these people are the human equivalent of dog shit.

(on pixels at least) if you go into your google settings from the settings app, manage your google account, data and privacy, web and app activity, google is tracking literally EVERYTHING you do on your phone if you have this on. this was the most egregious invasions of privacy I've ever seen, baked into android and hidden away for users to disable, and it's even harder to disable if you dont have a pixel. google does not give a fuck about "privacy" on android, they could start by just tearing all that stuff out but thats how the money is made so we're left with alternatives like grapheneos.

i love this quote

i remember hearing a few years ago about it costing around $200 to make the latest and greatest galaxy note 10, and it had an msrp around the thousand dollar mark. phones have MASSIVE profit margins and honestly its probably just been getting bigger and bigger since then.

ah yeah i live around seattle so i understand the need for hill-climbability, my bike was not cheap at all and it handles all the hills around here like a beast. if you ever get an opportunity to try out a 1000w ebike i think that would be able to cover the pitfalls you're talking about, but i do agree it is a bit of an investment to get started, i definitely wouldn't have my bike if i wasn't able to sell my car.

i sold my car so that i could buy an ebike back in february, i now have 400 something miles on it and haven't had to spend a dime on any maintenance (although i probably should have...) but when it comes to PEV's they're definitely one of those things where if you spend more money to get a better quality product you'll have a much better experience. also since bikes are more standardized its easier to find replacement parts and if you're willing to put the time into learning how to mess with it you wouldn't even need to rely on a repair shop.
