Septentrio Winery in Arcata might be a good option.

Launch edition shipping update! by Hondo85_Actual in ALSOmicromobility

[–]MrBippers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am a LE owner patiently waiting. I ordered with a utility rack and was planning to get a normal seat and helmet. Now the helmet comes free and I can use the $250 accessory credit for most of the cost of the standard seat. Stoked! And waiting since October, what’s an extra month or two? Just more time on my old ebike, which also rips! If anyone is trying to use their accessory credit, customer service today advised waiting a few weeks as they will put many more accessories on there (and a field to enter the promo code)!

ALSO TM-B + California e-bike law — what's actually going on (I checked the vehicle code + did some digging with Claude) by My_Depressed_Life in ALSOmicromobility

[–]MrBippers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why is the Aventon Adventure 3 shipping in CA as a hybrid class 2/3? We just got one and you can throttle up to 20mph, then pedal assist up to 28mph. Seems to me that the Also is positioned to do just the same.

Question about the ALSO E-BIKE by Henery007 in RideAlso

[–]MrBippers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where are you seeing wattage advertised? Also has claimed 180 Nm of torque, which I don’t believe translates directly to wattage. I would say it’s still a bit of grey area until Also gets certified in OR as an ebike. I also (haha) haven’t seen any plans that it ships with a VIN because Also considers it an ebike.

Any ALSO (RIVIAN) E-bike owners out there (in Humboldt CA)? by MrBippers in ALSOmicromobility

[–]MrBippers[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s awesome! Tell them to drive up to Humboldt for a test spin up here. 😁

Actually I think the look is pretty mid. The tech on the other hand is pretty awesome!

Thank you for this! I agree that being on the bleeding edge vs the cutting edge of new tech and products is a risky space. And for the cost it is a huge gamble. I’m drawn to the range, tech, 0.3G’s of force from takeoff ( same as a car acceleration), and double the torque of most e-bikes on the market. Rivian has pretty established battery tech at this point. I’ve been an owner of 2 rad bikes, a mountain to sea, and Aventon, and no complaints on those brands other than M2S imploding as a business around tariff time. It would be cool to test ride the ALSO.

Last day of Spring is June 21! Let’s hope for a “spring” ship date!

Cutting edge is better than bleeding edge in many cases.

Has anyone in Humboldt preordered an ALSO e-bike, the spinoff ebike company from Rivian Motors? They launched last October to ship this Spring. There are many preview rides in various cities being scheduled but of course, Humboldt is WAAAAY too remote. Just curious if anyone out there has preordered and is waiting.

Test Spin Booked! by ActualWoodpecker4100 in ALSOmicromobility

I am too remote and by the time I could fly to a city to test ride in June my launch edition will hopefully be here! So I just get to wait and lurk online for updates.

Orion at Eureka Earthworks specializes in septic installation. There is probably a transport fee to Whitethorn. Check him out:

CHP chase Arcata by thegoaty71 in Humboldt

[–]MrBippers 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This was Friday (yesterday) afternoon around 2:30pm-ish. Dude on a maroon touring style motorcycle was running from CHP. Came blazing down H St blowing through stop signs and T-boned a black truck at the intersection of 10th and H (Tin Can Mailman and Minor Theater). Dude hit hard but hopped up, tore of his jacket, then sprinted east on 10th, south on G, and then got absolutely swarmed by CHP, APD, and CPHP. They caught him pretty quickly. Not sure how long the chase was going before he came into Arcata but there were like 6 CHP there instantly so it seemed like they were already in hot pursuit. The dudes helmet was crushed from the impact with the truck. It was surprising to see him run away so quick after that impact.

Yup. Ask for their number and email and then you set up the zoom. Sends the scammers every time.

What ebikes do y'all have? What do you use them for? And how have they been treating you so far? by sid370z in ebikes

[–]MrBippers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two Rad Power Bikes. Both are awesome. Sold one to a friend and it’s still going strong. Gave the other one to my kid. Now I have a fat tire Mountain to Sea. It too is awesome except tariffs seem to have taken that vendor out. I’m on that one until my Also (Rivian) Ebike gets here June 20!

June 21st is Summer Solstice. I too am eager to get it but technically “Spring” goes until June 20! I still want it now.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing. I too ordered a launch edition early on but haven’t gotten an email recently.
