You guys hate EV's which I can understand. But look at how fun the tech is in the ebike, and e-dirtbike realm. Ripping these silent high powered ebikes on the roadside is quite fun. And best part! No registration and insurance needed.
I never had registration or insurance on a dirt bike.
I have yet to see evidence of anyone here "hating" EVs, that's a total straw man argument fallacy. The scams, grifting, tyranny, theft, etc involved, that all is what's being hated on. No one cares if someone wants to buy a ridiculously expensive city car.
Now the massive amounts of batteries perturb abolitionists like me, because the actual slavery involved in mining the battery metals is abhorrent and evil. Algae-produced, renewable petroleum is great with me.
Agreed. They just want freedom to continue to choose without policies/laws eroding/eradicating those choices. The Elites deciding all this stuff tend to forget that we all can’t afford their Elitist choices and policies because they are the ones hoarding up all the money.
And meanwhile in China where they have gone all in on ebikes, an average of 8 per day are spontaneously catching fire, sometimes while the rider is on the bike, sometimes while charging, sometimes while parked and NOT charging. And since they are often parked with other ebikes in outdoor parking areas or indoor parking garages or hallways or apartments, they often burn down dozens or hundreds of other vehicles, or even burn down entire buildings. It is incredibly difficult to put out the fires, and requires special equipment only a fire department has. Even then they often can't put the fire out and have to let it burn itself out.
Enjoy ripping your silent high powered ebike on the roadside, I hope it doesn't blow up while you're sitting on it.
ebike in Portland got damaged so fast they scraped that plan in three years.
I am not saying its gonna save humanity, or the climate. I am saying they are fun as hell :D:D:D. And hella quiet motors for rippin around suburbs w/o noise complaining karens. Great for hunting also, quiet enough to get near game animals, and powerful enough to help with transport of the meat.
However I do understand the Chyna LiPo batteries are having major issues right now, and causing hella fires.
Yes. Almost got a dual fuel car. Battery was the clincher so I didn't get it.
Yea the battery costs/replacement for cars is insane. But for electric dirtbikes and bikes it is much much easier. Alot of ebikes going up are not having UL listed batteries also. So basically un-regulated batteries with questionable building practices/components
