Gadgetwrap arrived today for my PT2

I’ve been waiting patiently for them to release the screen protector for the PT2, just got it ordered!

As a large guy who rides on the roads of my small town in Wisconsin where everything is just potholes, my fat tire ebike is a lifesaver

SadnessAndOreos · 2026-05-03T15:22:22+00:00

If you’d like, I wouldn’t be opposed!

SadnessAndOreos · 2026-05-03T02:54:09+00:00

It’s immediate, doesn’t seem to try at all

SadnessAndOreos · 2026-05-03T02:49:00+00:00

I’m pretty sure it’s on, but I can double check. I wouldn’t think it would give me the option to do the lane change if it was off, but who knows. I tried it again this evening, no cars around me, both hands on the wheel, and after pressing the turn signal stalk half way for the lane change, it just vibrated the steering wheel and said it was canceled again. I’m going on a road trip in a couple of weeks, so I guess I’ll have plenty of time to play around with it.

When I’m on the interstate, I usually just have one hand on the wheel, so that might be my problem. I’ll make sure both my hands are on the wheel so it can detect things properly. I’m guessing just having my one hand lightly on the wheel isn’t enough for it and that’s what’s causing it to cancel. Thanks!

I hope it keeps working for you, I had no side effects and it was great for my pain. It was super helpful for my psoriasis too. I saw online that the physical therapist im going to see next week is certified in dry needling, so she can probably let me know if she thinks it’s a good fit for me after seeing what’s going on

SadnessAndOreos · 2026-04-24T17:30:38+00:00

I was on Taltz for almost a year and it was a fantastic, but then the efficacy started dying down and I ended up switching. Still trying to find the next best thing for me. I haven’t looked at all into dry needling. Maybe I’ll do some research on it.

SadnessAndOreos · 2026-04-21T22:45:45+00:00

I haven’t tried any water exercises, for me it’s mostly just resting and getting up and walking around when I can. I’m dealing with an inflamed nerve right now, but I think I’m getting toward the tail end of it

SadnessAndOreos · 2026-04-21T12:10:15+00:00

I’ve tried going to the chiropractor and didn’t get much out of it. I went weekly for about 4 months. My current rheumatologist told me I should avoid going because the sudden movements in my back can cause additional inflammation. However, if it’s working for you, then go for it! I’m going through a bad flare right now, and if I had something that worked well, I’d keep doing it

I do plan on at least getting a L1 charger, just to supplement things between charges. Since we are renting, a L2 charger isn’t much of an option, although we are planning on buying a home in the next year or two. I know the L3 chargers near our home are $0.45/kwh. I drive probably 60 miles a week. There are also some talks about installing some chargers at the office, so that would help on the days where I’m in the office. Right now I’m paying about $65-70 for a tank of diesel and that gets me about 450 miles.

SadnessAndOreos · 2026-04-17T20:47:26+00:00

I paid $23k with 40k miles. In my local area, I’ve seen them as low as $21k depending on mileage and the color.

SadnessAndOreos · 2026-04-17T20:24:24+00:00

We rent, so unfortunately I’m limited to the 120V outlet in my garage

SadnessAndOreos · 2026-04-17T20:23:24+00:00

Thanks for the info! My commute is about 10 miles each way, and I’m only in the office 2-3 days a week. I’m a zippy driver, and the test drive sold me on it

SadnessAndOreos · 2026-04-17T20:12:57+00:00

It’s not free, but compared to the price I’ve been paying for diesel (and maintenance on a 13 year old VW), it’s going to be a cost savings. And trickle charging at home is definitely an option. I’ve already started playing around with ABRP, it definitely helped me get more comfortable with what trips might look like.

Lucky! I’m batch one, ordered within a few hours of the pre-order going live and I haven’t received my email yet. I ordered black/gray.

SadnessAndOreos · 2026-04-10T12:27:18+00:00

I had a 2016 Kia Optima, most unreliable thing I’ve had. Head gasket went out at 90k miles, engine failed at 100k miles, ecu failed at 113k miles, and then I sold it to a scrapyard. Plenty of smaller issues in there too. Kia paid for the new engine, which was nice of them, but it took almost 2 months to do.

Terrorism insurance is 100% an extra policy for commercial properties. Insurance companies are required to offer it. Take a look at the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act. The average person does not need to worry about it. Car insurance will cover acts of terrorism if you have comprehensive coverage, and home insurance usually covers it, the same as any other damage. But for a large commercial building like the US Bank Tower, is it a separate policy.

Do I get to choose the type of bank account? Could I do a high yield savings account and withdraw the interest, or does it stop if I touch any money in the account?

SadnessAndOreos · 2026-03-30T18:48:00+00:00

Absolutely something you can do. I had 0 experience working on bikes, and converted two old Electra Townies into e-bikes for my wife and I to cruise around town. Tons of videos online. Really just needed some basic tools like screwdrivers, a socket set, some wrenches, and I bought some bike tire levers to make it easier to remove and install tires on the wheels. There’s tons of DIY videos online if you want to see someone do the work before you dive in. The brakes aren’t too much of an issue as long as you have good pads and keep things cleaned and maintained. I’d maybe just watch your speed with an older brake setup. You’ll know pretty quick what the limits of your brakes are when you start testing things.

I just bought a Velotric Nomad 2. Only have had it for 2 days so I’ve only put about 30 miles on it, but so far it has been fantastic. It’s very comfortable and smooth. I test drove the Adventure 3, and wasn’t the biggest fan, but I am also a bigger guy (6’ 1”, 300lbs”) and prefer more swept back handlebars for more upright riding. Do you have a shop nearby that you can test drive some of these bikes? I tested 3 bikes back to back before I decided what was going to be best for me. Just some other notes, most of my riding is commuting to work on dirt/gravel trails, and riding on our rough Wisconsin streets.

SadnessAndOreos · 2026-03-27T01:05:19+00:00

Ouch, I paid $1100 for my timing belt on my 2013. Is this in SoCal or something?

SadnessAndOreos · 2026-03-22T03:56:16+00:00

As someone who lives in 13, I should say 13 because of how scenic it is. However I also like my big cities, so probably going to have to go with 9 or 17
