MOPED ARMY

Yeah was very beautiful time for bikes. My yami is in the same design. Just pulled it out of the shed after years of seeing it and man it is small like a ped.

I remember seeing this a while back. I had a similar idea w a sebring, probably still gonna do it. that price tag is pretty unrealistic, not saying they didn't do it for under a grand, but they definitely got a lotta free and cheap hook-ups to do it that most people aren't gonna fall into.

I'm curious about it, but don-t care for it too much.

You are such a dumbass - were you never 8 years old you old idiot?

I noticed in that video something I also noticed on my kids e-no-ped; you hear everything thats loose and rattling. The brake levers, cables, forks moving. Professional EVs must have to put rubber bushings everywhere or their product will sound like garbage even though it’s just typical sounds that hide behind engine noise.

Really like everything about that bike.

Sound as safety is absolutely not an issue. Sitting in a car, with the windows up, it is impossible to hear any other vehicle unless the exhaust system is missing.

Especially this time of year when windows are rolled up, AC blasting, radio on. I’ve see people roll through an intersection with a fire truck coming because they had a green light and didn’t hear the sirens.

So, even an electric vehicle with a fire truck siren running constantly, wouldn’t make enough noise to protect itself from inattentive drivers.

Sure! So how much MORE likely that they will step out in front of an electric?

dominos delivery protyped a scooter that just said "dominos" repeatedly so it'd have some sound.

the issue isn't being heard by cars, they can't hear you anyway - it's people riding electrics on sidewalks or walking paths very quickly and potentially running folks over - but bicycles are just as quiet

Hah! Yea I've long been appalled at the complete idiocy of people arguing "bicycles shouldn't be on the road, it's too dangerous!"

If you can't safely navigate around a person on a bicycle, YOU are the one who should not be on the road...

agreed, but far better than on the sidewalk. It's significantly more dangerous for everyone involved INCLUDING CARS to have bicycles on sidewalks. people get in accidents turning into bikes on sidewalks cuz they're not paying attention to it.

The US is poorly setup for bikes in general though, most of our cities were built, or at least really expanded after the advent of cars so you get these sprawing urban areas outside of the older cities like boston new York, philly and Chicago, where your LA's and houstons and atlantas etc are huge and sometimes hours across in a car. Every road modification and add-on is just to accommodate even more cars. It's getting better though. Or it was til the current backslide into the sewers

Bicycle lanes function best when you get cars out of the equation.

If a pedestrian is to dense/phone in face to look around them, they deserve to get hit. It is also the cyclists job to be alert.

To anyone who is allowed to be out side without a guardian.

No, it is not. What is the difference between a bicycle and an electric bike, you need to be aware of your surroundings, it's LOOK both ways before crossing, not listen. If you are walking around that oblivious we don't need you in the gene pool.
