I don't use the power, except where I'd otherwise have to kill someone (i.e. they're trying to kill me or another innocent person).

As for manner of death, they turn to solid gold so I can melt them down and get rich while making them disappear.

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.

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!

It has to be said that the Infinite Machine Olto e-bike gives off Cybertruck vibes, though it’s small and kinda cute. The under-$3,500 “Class 2” contender, designed to conquer urban bike lanes at 20 mph and to be released in October, is the second product from the Queens-based Infinite Machine, following a similarly styled but […]
