@lkanies @mekkaokereke we have a lot of cars that work fine for longer trips and don't need to be replaced for a decade or more, but half of all car trips are less than 3 miles. Now how about an EV which can carry a couple people or a few kids, is easier to park, great for short trips, and costs less than $5k? We could even build them in the states. #eBikes #CargoBikes #LegalizeBikes
@mekkaokereke when — not if — the US finally allows Chinese EVs to be sold directly here again, it will destroy our local car economy, far more than when Japanese cars showed up in the 70s.
Our whole country is in denial. And it will be catastrophic when the truth arrives.

I'm picking up my minivan alternative from the bike shop today, in preparation for becoming a dad. It's a Riese and Müller Load4 75 Vario. It's a little hard to see the bike with the rain cover on, but at least my stuff is protected from the elements.
It has full suspension, and we plan to install a baby car seat adapter with its own additional suspension. The baby should have a smooth ride.
Here's a review that helped sell me on this bike: https://www.cyclingelectric.com/reviews/riese-and-muller-load4-75-vario-reviewed
What a beautiful day to subvert #capitalism by lending people tools, helping people learn to fix their bikes, and I even got some #offGrid #solar charging of #eBikes / #cargoBikes in for a thumb in elon's eye. #superCargo #pdxBikes

I'm in Perth (Australia) and looking for a bike that I can use to take my grandparents for joyrides around the neighbourhood now that they've moved to a nearby aged care home.
I need something that can handle two adult passengers who are shaky on their feet, a few hills, and as a non-essential bonus would let me carry a kid too. Hopefully also something that I could get serviced in Perth without it being a huge hassle!
Some of the options I'm considering:
* Tribe Bikes Ricky Rickshaw v 2.0
* Christiania Taxi Model T
* Jojo Bike e-trike Egg
* Van Raam Chat Rickshaw
* Triobike Taxi CL
I'm a bit overwhelmed by choice! Any advice or suggestions would be really welcome.
