weekly bakery run with this new basket on my bike. one of the great things about this bike is that it is such a conversation piece. it has sparked so many great convos with all sorts of people who are just intrigued by the idea of an ebike. and i am very confident that i have convinced more than a few people (including my neighbor!) to get an ebike for themselves. this is the thing. everyone i know who has tried one has instantly fell in love with the experience. it feels like magic!

I wondered what the model was and how much it cost. I guess all the cool people don't have to google. But I did.

It’s not cheap to outfit your bike with all these accessories. The panniers ($250 for two), Clubhouse ($240), Storm Box ($220), and Storm Shield ($220) are all pretty expensive, especially in aggregate. And when added to [the base price] - you’re looking at an overall price of over $7,000.

The seat and handlebars are from a bike that was designed to be folded up so it can be taken onto public transport. The unwieldy bags at the bag undermine that purpose. Postmodern fucking bike.

This thing weighs 34kg / 75lbs empty, no one is lugging that shit into public transport like a folding bike. The variable handlebar and stem and the long-ass seatpost are for range of adjustment as it only comes in a single frame size.

It's a pretty common concept on "car-replacement bicycles" regardless of the price point so you, but also other, differently sized members of your househould can all use the same bike.
