[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 1 points 1 hour ago

MyBikeFriday specializes in folding bikes and have been around for a while. Never had one myself but from what I have heard, they're pretty good (they ought to be given the cost).

I tested the Turboant R9 and while it doesn't reinvent the wheel, it does have shockingly good performance and a decent feature set for $550.

They're called organ donors though, riding without protection is not smart.

Karbikes: The Future Of Urban Transport Is Pedal-Powered in c/micromobility@lemmy.world

I was talking about anything with bars for the purpose of the poncho: It'd work fine on a moped, scooter, bicycle, whatever.

I can if I fuss with the snap but normally I don't bother and look over my shoulder by default to double check on turns.

As for bailing, it just uses snaps and a bit of stretchy fabric. With force, they pop off (and if they didn't, the force of me pushing mysef away from the handlebars would tear the fabric anyways). I'd probably be OK. You could also just not snap it and hang it over the bars. It's not shaped like a normal poncho so it'd probably stay on.

I got a cheap one for like 16 bucks that goes onto the handlebars: 10/10 would recommend!

You can transmit over whatever, but there's trade-offs with everything. LoRa is kinda neat because it's low power.
