The Creature doesn't need no car 🚲​

#CargoBike#LosAngeles#California#Bicycle#Bike#EBike#Merchtodon#Photo#Photography#Plushtodon

Photo of the Creature Mastodon stuffed toy sitting on a large pile of luggage strapped to the rear rack of a cargo e-bike at a harbor loading dock during one bright afternoon. The Creature is in its purple tote on top of two full black military-style duffle bags, which rest on a pair of blue suitcases ratchet-strapped together and positioned sideways on either side of the bike's running boards. The front of the cargo bike is positioned 10 o'clock to the camera, with the red rear light shining toward 4 o'clock. All around the Creature in the surrounding parking lot are parked cars, and in the distance, palm trees and shipping containers are visible.

So the questions now (aside from the "how do I keep the battery from catching fire" 🤪 )

1. How to convert this to a Class I e-bike
2. What battery technology to switch it to, and what is the hub capable of (with focus on SAFE battery tech -- I assume LiFePO4 is the right choice here now)
3. What e-bike controller would work best (vs. whatever is hacked into here now, which is "turns on when pedaled")

(The purpose of this foolish exercise, for me, is simply to learn about the technology... I am quite happy pedaling uphill with my normal bikes right now!)

Il successo del leasing delle bici assistite in Germania

In #Germania quasi 2 milioni di #ebike sono state acquistate con uno schema vantaggioso e apprezzato dai lavoratori dipendenti, attraverso le aziende che li impiegano.

Lo schema ha avuto un impatto visibile, le bici sono molto usate per gli spostamenti quotidiani, anche grazie ad infrastruttura che, pur non essendo al livello di quella dei Paesi Bassi, è, di solito presente e di qualità discreta.

#ECF propone all'UE di inserire uno schema simile nelle strategie europee, visti i vantaggi economici, di salute e la coerenza la dichiarazione europea sulla #ciclabilitàadottata l'anno scorso

In Italia le aziende hanno programmi solo per #auto, grazie agli incentivi fiscali. Si tratta di uno schema che droga il mercato delle auto, e, secondo #Legambiente, di uno dei principali sussidi ambientalmente dannosi, denaro pubblico che contribuisce a peggiorare la #crisiClimatica. Penso che uno schema simile a quello tedesco per le bici potrebbe avere successo anche qui.

Se il vostro datore di lavoro vi proponesse un leasing per una e-bike su 3 anni col 20% di sconto, direttamente in busta paga, ci fareste un pensiero?

Fun fact, it was so hot yesterday that the motor on my ebike overheated while I was cycling home... up a hill. So, yeah, yesterday, I inadvertently learnt about "limp mode".

For your bike to suddenly throttle halfway up a hill is both disconcerting and exhausting.

Thankfully, the motor is working fine this morning, but lesson learnt; my bike is now parked in my air-conditioned lab.

Migrating back here from my previous, now-defunct, account @nix@social.stlouist.com. if you know me please boost so I can reconnect with followers.

This is a good time for an #introduction I suppose.

I'm an #educator from #stl that firmly believes in decentralized self organization, such as #anarchism, #socialecology, #solarpunk, or #librarysocialism.

Also I'm a big #urbanism and #foss nerd and #ebike commuter. I'm very involved in the local #freestore and trying to help organize larger #postcapitalist ventures.
