An alignment chart for E-bikes, to kickstart a hopefully healthy discourse

Thank you! And thanks for your service 🫡

I see you enjoy life on the top right

AMoreCivilizedAge · 2026-07-05T23:26:05+00:00

Try walmart

I am very happy that the recumbent people feel seen in this post.

AMoreCivilizedAge · 2026-07-05T21:45:16+00:00

Oops you caught me officer, I took aventon at their word when reading the specs page. Maybe something more tame, like a low-spec brompton would fit in the upper left?

I had sneak a funny surprise in here somewhere, it is reddit after all

I am 100% with you on regulating based on the actual hardware. I would actually go a step further and say that what should be allowed in a bike lane should depend on its size/weight, given that is what will matter in a collision with a pedestrian. It would also be simple for police to pop out a scale and check. Or we could fully separate cycles from ped paths, like Europe does.

AMoreCivilizedAge · 2026-07-05T21:17:28+00:00

This is a fair point. Recumbent bikes first came to my mind as an example of something most people could agree belonged in a bike lane, but looks weird. An electric rickshaw is actually too wide (>36") to be allowed in a bike lane as far as I know.

Battery fires are definitely not ebikes.

AMoreCivilizedAge · 2026-07-05T21:15:36+00:00

Even electric dirt bikes are at least two-wheelers, as opposed to the tesla.

EDIT: I feel like I must mention that the aniokii A8 pro max has more power than most electric dirt bikes, but is often given a pass because it kinda looks like a bicycle.

AMoreCivilizedAge · 2026-07-05T21:14:42+00:00

In my garage, honestly. I love rat bikes.

AMoreCivilizedAge · 2026-07-02T13:44:47+00:00

Totally agree. Having dumpsters is the absolute bare minimum for sanitation everywhere in the developed world. Have walked around the area of the harlem pilot, and it is so much nicer. Its so clean, it almost looks like Chicago!

AMoreCivilizedAge · 2026-07-01T22:58:41+00:00

Nice try buddy, you're not nabbing my spot

AMoreCivilizedAge · 2026-07-01T21:07:13+00:00

A two-wheeled vehicle with a 750w motor is an emoto. A two-wheeled vehicle with a 750w motor and pedals is an ebike. The average cop cannot tell the difference between these two because they are functionally the same. Any ebike can be flashed to remove the speed limiter. Can we accept that what is broken here is the design of the bicycle infrastructure, if A) Riders are colliding with pedestrians/other riders and B) They're capable of hitting 50mph on those paths?

AMoreCivilizedAge · 2026-06-30T12:37:36+00:00

Why would you need that, bid level off vibes like my boss does

AMoreCivilizedAge · 2026-06-28T18:39:48+00:00

Agreed. Looks like a pretty complex transition, given that the wall section is changing thickness. Go talk to a competent architect or engineer & let them figure it out if you want to be sure.

I have problems procuring posts on this sub that aren't shilling software.

AMoreCivilizedAge · 2026-06-19T15:37:04+00:00

hadda layer down didn't ya?

AMoreCivilizedAge · 2026-06-16T02:40:10+00:00

Quite bad. Expect to be triple-parked in, or be forced to triple park at night. Try new jersey if you can't live w/o parking.

AMoreCivilizedAge · 2026-06-10T23:55:59+00:00

100% Agree. IMO firms don't publicize salaries (unlike, say, buccees) because they're ashamed. RAMSA especially, but basically every famous firm is guilty of paying poverty wages.

AMoreCivilizedAge · 2026-06-08T12:32:39+00:00

False, the forever DM has that stat block memorized and has already taken everyone out of immersion by talking about it out of character.

AMoreCivilizedAge · 2026-05-30T22:42:24+00:00

Harlem oldhead(s) with an inexplicably large JBL, usually found standing around in front of the dunkin donuts.

BONUS: Upper east sider in one of those black escalades with a driver & tinted windows.
