are you using any bsky facets? it looks like the trailing period in ‘eeyo.bike.’ got subsumed into the link

Yes, that’s my bug. No editing so I’ll just let it stand, but here’s the fixed link: eeyo.bike

@manton I opted for Trek which uses Bosch motors. It is so much fun.

Looks slick

@linnefaulk Cool, I’ll check those out!

Until there some standardization on batteries, eBike investments are going to have a shelf-life. Feels like what’s going on with the remaining Segways. I had a great talk with a guy last year who runs Segway tours in San Antonio and has developed a side business scavenging and reselling Segway parts and batteries since they were discontinued…but at least there were more limited models for those parts.

That’s a slick looking bike! Even by non-e-bike standards!

@Agiletortoise I would love to see some kind of battery standard. I’ve always thought it would be cool to have those power tool batteries (e.g. Ryobi) work on a variety of devices.

That looks pretty! I think I’m missing something…does Eeyo help solve the battery issue?

@bjhess Nope, not at all! In fact, it might be worse because looks like the battery might be difficult to replace. (Just guessing.)

@manton Bosch, Shimano, Brose, Yamaha, Fazua, TQ – all these are established brands. You’ll easily find new batteries years into the future.
If you want a powerful motor with long range, gor for one of the first four. If it’s sleek and light you’re after, go for one of the latter two.

@jw @manton Shops in the US are few and far between. I had been looking at Urban Arrow until I saw the closest shop was a 4 hour drive. 🙄

Ah! It does look like a nice bike, though!

That is a consequence of you not being picky abt ebikes. The most important consideration when buying an ebike is dealer network.
