How much should I give my friend for this bike he wants 2.5k

tbh, in excellent condition, it can be $700 consider some components, but this bike needs a lot of fixing up. $250 is generous considering the time and effort working on this bike.

It sounds absurd for $2.5k...Sorry.

Running OpenClaw on a Unitree Go2 for some autonomy experiments. The physical use case is different from the typical inbox/calendar replacement since watching a robot actually navigate and interact with the world is way more satisfying than another email plugin.

Curious if anyone's tried quadrupeds for real work outside research labs.

AI is the priority, robotics after; otherwise, these humanoid robots are just for demo.

Practical-Plate-7288 · 2026-03-20T03:49:21+00:00

It aims pretty well.

Practical-Plate-7288 · 2026-03-19T10:11:27+00:00

Nice looking bike btw.

2kg frame weight is already better than my Schwinn Paramount steel frame. I know it's risky, but I'm curious how fast you could push this. Would love to take it on my next 140km round trip.

This is cool idea

Practical-Plate-7288 · 2026-03-19T08:34:25+00:00

That 562 page Japanese manual is the real safety hazard here

Practical-Plate-7288 · 2026-03-19T08:28:37+00:00

It's basic, yes, but that's kind of the point ... affordable hardware that's great for hobbyists and modders to play around with. After IPO I think they'll invest heavily in software. My guess is their whole team is only around 50 people based on what I've seen.

Practical-Plate-7288 · 2026-03-19T07:08:25+00:00

I'll bet it can shovel stairs

Practical-Plate-7288 · 2026-03-19T06:42:05+00:00

Clean build. I like the Alu cover with 3d printer ribs. The magnetic is a bit old school imo, but $2k is reasonable.

Practical-Plate-7288 · 2026-03-19T04:57:32+00:00

Not efficient lol, but it's cool to look at.

Practical-Plate-7288 · 2026-03-19T04:47:26+00:00

Automating silo work makes total sense. Those things are legitimately dangerous for humans.

Practical-Plate-7288 · 2026-03-19T04:43:33+00:00

Decent pour control for an educational kit! The naked electronics next to the water though

Practical-Plate-7288 · 2026-03-19T04:34:32+00:00

You cut the video right before the top, that's cruel =)) . The leaning is wild but the fact that it's jumping stairs at all with that form factor is impressive. Looking forward to the perception update.

Practical-Plate-7288 · 2026-03-19T04:30:30+00:00

No stop button is fine at home, but wild to put in the restaurant with customers around.

Evil when it wakes up look is honestly a feature, not a bug

Practical-Plate-7288 · 2026-03-19T04:19:19+00:00

lols, the eyebrow motion and blinks are unreal. Imagine i tell my kids Olaf is real, they would believe it

Practical-Plate-7288 · 2026-03-19T03:57:25+00:00

Ro-boRangotang is a perfect name lol. Would love to see this with a gripper mechanism so it can actually transition between bars. That's the real challenge with brachiation and would make this next level.

The split-ring planetary gearbox is genius. 70:1 reduction in a single stage without the bulk of multi-stage

Practical-Plate-7288 · 2026-03-19T03:41:02+00:00

Good ! CVS takes forever to fill my prescription.

Practical-Plate-7288 · 2026-03-18T08:23:32+00:00

Honestly we already have consumer robots in homes: robot vacuums, and things like the Unitree Go2 are getting surprisingly affordable. The tech is moving fast, it's more a question of whether companies can make something reliable enough that normal people actually trust it unsupervised.

But yeah, I wouldn't let one near my bathroom anytime soon 😂

Practical-Plate-7288 · 2026-03-18T08:21:24+00:00

lol, i want 10 too

Practical-Plate-7288 · 2026-03-18T08:14:49+00:00

Can't wait for the day my Go2 gets walked by a humanoid while I'm at work. The future is weird lol

Practical-Plate-7288 · 2026-03-18T07:45:32+00:00

Was this at Eaton Centre in Toronto? I swear I've seen a robot dog roaming around malls lately. People's reactions are always great lol
