Saw a brand new Lime Glider in SF this morning. Beautiful day here, almost got on. But I was late and didn’t want to download an app, enter payment info, give personal info, license, etc. Still love the form factor though. Anyone with info on how popular they are relative to pedaled options? 👀

Wanted to try lime’s pedal-free ebike but it has a flat. Pretty well graffitied too. This is the future of transport: effortless bikes. Needs a nice big wide saddle, and not a narrow size 18 shoe to sit on. Needs a rear rack that can also convert to a second seat (see Rivian).

Some of the most alarmist takes on Rad's limited battery recall are coming from pedalers who have never liked that Rad (or anyone) sells bikes with throttles. They would rather see 1% of the population pedaling than 100% of the population using throttle-powered bikes to get where they want to go.

I have been waiting for this Rivian ebike for so long, and it is finally here! Some really cool innovations (swappable seat/rear-end!) but only one major flaw: it still has pedals. Pedal by wire is perfect absurdity; it separates effort from transport ... and then makes you do both. v2.0 won't have.

Britain’s illegal e-bike boom: desperation, delivery drivers – and unthinkable danger
E-bikes can legally travel at 15.5mph. But the fastest the police have seized was capable of 70mph. What will stop the rise of these souped-up and potentially fatal vehicles?

"Demand for street legal carts is surging despite complaints from drivers; ‘We all hate you’." Motorists hate other motorists, golf cart folks, people on bikes, pedestrians, and transit vehicles. Maybe it's time we consider that the problem on our streets are the motorists themselves.

Intro 0060 is a terrible bill. Banning *all* bicycles with pedal-assist (Citi Bikes, Rad Power) in *all* parks is unnecessary and punitive, and like most of these spiteful proposals, does nothing to address pedestrian safety. Also: “and victims” is some crazy journalism.
