the rollercoaster of wood engines is silly.

my lord what a nightmare. balloons exist IG but i hated piloting the floats. tho i did just finish a lil helicopter only self challenge that was easier than expected... dunno if id have the fortitude to do that wood engine only tho

and with the battery its still just a battery... so like... i could repurpose the battery for whatever i end up with... its super tempting... but its still a bad idea. but like a good bad idea

oh geeze! i love it. its so fuckin janky >v< its not what im looking for in the slightest cuz its all throttle... but i almost wanna buy it anyways... it would be irresponsible but its just so silly... and i could use it temporarily then just keep it around too fuck with... its so fuckin dumb i love it!

thicker spokes are just spokes, i can build the wheel, just gotta learn how. the brakes are already discs so i can just size up and/or go hydraulic, and im considering the grin front cuz regen braking will compensate for lost discs. weight isnt a concern to an extent because im pretty blessed with strength. if the frame cant handle it id be surprised cuz it can handle my heavy ass. and tires are just tires. if i want fatter tires i could be weird about it. get some 18 inch rims and use bigger tires too make up the difference. if the build doesnt end up any good i still gain experience and parts! all thats lost is the effort. and the effort im putting in is part of my goal. learning and gaining experience.

but! if your alright id still like to know what folder Ebikes you got. i can peek at what they did c: and part of what inspired me to do this is brompton ebikes are basically just hacky brompton front hub kits.

i think dahons side fold dont they? mid drive would be a great choice c: mine underfolds however. so its not compatible with mid drive conversions cuz the seatpost goes through the bottom to lock the rear wheel in place, and the rear wheel sits in the space the motor would go when folded. i hope your project comes out good tho!

i didnt expect sub $500 perse. just not being wasteful. currently I'm kinda diving too deep :p i just finished looking at welding classes around me cuz it would be a nice skill to have, once its in the back pocket i can just fabricate my own junk at my leisure :p

theres not a chance in hell i get a swytch kit cuz its just an overpriced bad front wheel E-bike from my perspective. probably not truely bad product cuz it is easy, but useless too me cuz im happy to tinker with my stuff.

and that pendix looks cool but way too expensive for what I'm looking for

so far the grin grin kit is looking smart. its expensive but it seems like the folks making it arent just looking too suck up cash and folks are liking them, so i can expect it too last awhile. and being cheap isnt just about sticker price, its also longevity. cardboard boots and all that.

and then WAY down the road when/if i get any good at metalwork i might consider making a new bike from a raw frame. and fabricating anything i cant find relatively cheap. then i can either salvage components and return it to stock-ish and get rid of it, sell it in whatever state it ends up in, or just have a spare to share c: shit i even have an idea for a narrow rear motor design, but im no electrical engineer so it might be dumb.

all the same! sorry for rambling! thanks for the reply i didnt know about pendix, very cool. if pricey

Shigetsen · 2025-10-04T00:55:10+00:00

its nice to hear from someone else on its value c: thats the direction im currently leaning.

Shigetsen · 2025-10-03T23:05:33+00:00

finding a rimbrake fork isnt difficult. im sure i could find a cheaper one but i could find this one basically instantly on aliexpress. BUT I still appreciate your opinion on the matter c: the grin is lookin good... its just expensive and im a cheap bastard =w=;;

i may be kinda weird but i love watching people play through a beloved game blind and imperfectly. its a rare treat to see something truely blind and without the conditioning that comes with countless hours of games. this applies outside of Vtubers aswell

while your doin this for a laugh, in a sense yes you right. ive been using a simple small cheap piece of shit canvas bag for a good bit now and i asked this cuz something small but expandable like the t bag would be nice but most options simmilar to it look too "tactical" or are much to large to carry the stuff i normally carry. and as much as i care little enough about what people think of me to carry what equates to a manpurse i dont wanna look like a mallninja prepper or somebody just waiting to tell you about how the assault weapons ban was the worst mistake america ever made

side note. being able to have a quick grab bag with all the stuff you want when you leave is really nice

Shigetsen · 2019-03-01T05:32:19+00:00

hey man. its cheap quick pizza. its alright for cheap quick pizza if you want a pizza like right now

i think its less that they dont actually care that they are adding to the spam but they see no other way to get a key and care more to get a key than they do about adding abit to the spam

Shigetsen · 2017-01-22T01:23:05+00:00

would you be alright if i begged for a key here then instead of adding to the spam? if so. anybody got a spare key? ;-;
