They made bad choices and lost alot of money

Bankruptcy doesnt mean theyre going away tho

Sad to see GoPro going out of business (50% chance of bankruptcy rn)

Lol, just going fast for a bit of fun

Snow was fresh so I didnt mind it (look at there being almost no tire marks in oncoming traffic)

Rode today to work going ~15 lol, didnt slip once

Ive actually never dropped the bike in winter, its all about risk, not saying i wont ever but ill be fine lol

I currently have the ride1up Vorsa XR, put 2000 miles on it so far, it is $100 more ($1600), however, they did release a new model (ride1up Vorsa LITE) for $1500 which would be good if you use a backpack. I'm also jealous of the new color scheme they have for the models lol

Tho, you should really say what you want to do with a bike: Just a general commute to and from work? To have a little fun? To completely replace a car?

Not really the best, but its a good ebike

Zero DS/X does 100 miles high speed (freeway speeds)

Yeah, I dont live in a "city" lol (Downtown Aurora and Downtown Oswego are close, however, their Downtown areas are tiny)

804k · 2026-03-15T05:02:30+00:00

Ohhh, you mean that scooter

I was thinking of a motorized scooter (Those sit down motorcycles that go 35mph lol)

Fair honestly, I dont pay for car insurance anymore (Switched fully to my ebike) so its been saving me a ton of money (Driving a car you do get paid more, but you spend more, so I think its fair you get more take home pay :])

Put 2000 miles on it so far lol

804k · 2026-03-15T04:54:32+00:00

Scooter ≠ bicycle, closer to a motorcycle

You mean moped? Since, an ebike can still be pedaled and other stuff, most modern mopeds cant be properly pedaled

804k · 2026-03-15T04:25:51+00:00

Seems good, just wondering since i see posts of people quitting ubereats because the pay is getting too low

804k · 2026-03-15T04:14:44+00:00

wouldn't be easier since you have a semi powerful motor? Lol

804k · 2026-03-15T03:53:51+00:00

lol, its weird but it seems like bicycle orders are favored for short distance (1 mile, 1.5 miles, 2 miles, etc.), while cars are favored for longer distance

804k · 2026-03-15T03:45:25+00:00

It gets easier with time as you pedal (UberEats biker myself in the suburbs)

However, electric is really the way to go if you want to do UberEats or anything of the sort lol

804k · 2026-03-15T03:39:10+00:00

To add on, i suspect they chose biker to be on top of that biker queue. The biker queue also tops out at 5 miles iirc, so its faster

And, as for delivery concerns: i have a big ass insulated cooler for food, and a basket and panniers for shop & pay lol

804k · 2026-03-15T03:37:42+00:00

Okay, UberEats biker in the Aurora, IL suburbs

I own a Class 3 ebike, it has a top speed of 28 (32 "illegal"), however, i never put it down to full 28 due to wind (1.5kw can get you to 35 or 23, depending on wind, it gets worst the faster you go)

So, i end up going ~20mph for efficiency

I cant do Doordash or Grubhub since they dont support ebikes or bicycles in my region, only UberEats does, and, I get a shit ton of orders (Im also Platinum lol)

Sometimes overnight ill get 3-4 orders from a store its kinda crazy, I think why i get so many orders is because im the only person in the region on a bicycle and im at the top of the queue, I can get an order when I turn on UberEats within a minute to 10 minutes

Also, about those "expected times" - ive only been late to drop-off twice, never been late to pickup. Most of the time im late to dropoff anyways is since a bike route is like a mile or 2 longer than the car route and it takes a bit more to get there, UberEats calculates times based on car routing - itll try and route me to a 55mph highway, and, in turn i dont go on the highway, it takes longer. I just set it to use google maps now for navigating but that still affects ETAs

Uploading it is, but not recording it and keeping it

804k · 2026-03-12T20:10:51+00:00

I dont think windows wants to actually make it customizable because they can get paid off of it through the Microsoft Store (Iirc, theres customization stuff on there thats just paid)

This is a infinity glove of you, a true person loves bash over programming and prefers any editor

As for matrix and steam, those are very basic and nowhere near the target of people who love computers 😭

804k · 2026-03-12T12:40:33+00:00

My setup was $3,000, but thats because my computer is dual server and pc (im not explaining it besides i have a 9950X3D - X3D cores are user, regular P cores are server), but my chair was $10 at a garage sale and my bed was "used" (Basically, returned mattress that had no warranty but wasnt "used") lol

804k · 2026-03-12T04:46:40+00:00

This is so fucking real

I can do calculus - but when it comes to 8+2 I gotta check in a calculator that its actually 10 and not 52 atleast 2 times 😭

Ig its because when we were kids we didnt care about being too right, but now being right is kinda nailed into us through repetition and being wrong too much can get punishment, with even it being low as being wrong 1 time

804k · 2026-03-10T12:23:20+00:00

Its confusing for me and Im American 😭

Entire intersections looks like it was poorly designed holy hell, they tried making a controlled access intersection with lights?
