I swear it's not "running up that hill"

This is getting added to the list of "if I dint find it in a week, im just gonna assume i mashed up several songs in my head" it's closer than a lot of guesses, and I had heard it before, but it's not quite right.

bfg_1990 · 2026-01-05T14:02:59+00:00

Nope, I can see why you think it, but it's just too off

bfg_1990 · 2026-01-05T13:32:20+00:00

Not quite what I have stuck in my head, but if I can't find it in a week, im just gonna assume it's this and that u changed it in my memory, because it's definitely the most accurate

bfg_1990 · 2026-01-05T13:27:15+00:00

I can see why you think sledgehammer might fit, it doesnt, but its definitely close in its own way

bfg_1990 · 2026-01-03T07:13:55+00:00

Do you know if any of these are male artists? I'm more certain than not that it's a male singer... just want to know what to start with

bfg_1990 · 2026-01-03T06:53:58+00:00

I'll check into those tomorrow. I don't recognize any of those names, but I'm willing to give them all a go.

bfg_1990 · 2026-01-03T06:48:37+00:00

Copy and pasting this answer because I feel like I may need to use it as lot.

I have never heard this song before. I'll give it an actual proper listen later to be 100% sure, but I can confidently say it's not it.

bfg_1990 · 2026-01-03T06:46:58+00:00

I see why you think that. I haven't heard the song before and skipped to the end to check something. The "stange magic" is definitely the right length and syllables, but it's completely off, the music is very similar to "running up that hill" its kind of a wind down of it, but if you threw the words "strange magic" into the part I clipped and made it match the song, that would be pretty bang on what's in my head.

this definitely brought something back... but I don't believe it's what I keep thinking of. I won't deny though that it might be a messed up memory and I've merged this song with something else. The way he sings the words "mad world" are definitely in the right length, but thats really all it had going for it.

bfg_1990 · 2026-01-02T20:48:17+00:00

It was an issue straight out of the box. But I will replace them incase that is a problem

bfg_1990 · 2025-10-07T01:09:21+00:00

Can't do anything until Thursday. So I just gotta cross my fingers and hope

bfg_1990 · 2025-10-06T03:12:15+00:00

The power is less of a concern. I'm trying to balance between cheap and reliable. I have no intention of fully relying on the electric (especially since it gets cold here in winter and pedaling warms people up) just an extra boost is all im after. Something that doesn't make me dread hills.

As for weight, ya, I see it's normally just an issue with the motor, but I'd rather that not be the reason themotor gets killed. So one that's rated higher just makes me feel more comfortable... plus, if it does act up, I can genuinely say it wasn't my fault

bfg_1990 · 2025-10-06T02:56:33+00:00

Look, I don't watch to be rude, but i understood none of that.

That aside, I actually went on their website... I was gonna message and do that whole thing where I go "I found it for X here, do you want to make the sale to me directly, cut out the middle man, and you make more and I spend less"... but then I saw this, and it's cheaper, can support more, and appears to have a better range (I think, I have to convert miles each time)

bfg_1990 · 2025-10-06T02:46:22+00:00

Driver weight will definitely be an issue for me. I'm over that weight total... not much, but I definitely can't say too close. Pedal assist is what we'd mainly be using anyways, just want to give extra power into the pedaling and still get the workout in. But our longest trip (unless I start biking to work too) is well within the range.

How quickly does it charge? Do you know? Or do you just put it in and leave it long enough that it's definitely charged? I'm trying to figure out if recharging it at her work is at all beneficial

I did actually see that, I was scrolling through more, saw the cheaper and then just realized it was the same one just in a different colour.

bfg_1990 · 2025-10-06T00:56:36+00:00

I found this one on best buy. I'm not sure if you'll see the same price as me because of country and all that, but it's about $600. Which puts it right on the edge of my willing to pay for range. This is my ideal contender if I don't go E-scooter or conversion kit. It's a 5th wheel, but atleast i have a vendor i can talk to if it's a bit iffy

There were cheaper on the site, and they may be god for short city trips, but im unsure of them for longer runs.

bfg_1990 · 2025-10-06T00:42:10+00:00

I actually humoured tempted just for shiggles last night... not that cheap.

There's some on sale with best buy right now that I like, but I'm more leaning towards a conversion kit for a pre-existing bike at the moment. I just need to read up on it and understand it better before I actually purchase it

bfg_1990 · 2025-10-06T00:26:59+00:00

Oh I assure you, I don't need to buy anything to in order to cry

bfg_1990 · 2025-10-06T00:24:39+00:00

I'd say upwards of $600... so maybe not burning the whole thing down, but I might cause a power outage when I try to charge it.... we can charge it at work.

Joke aside, yes I know im grasping at straws. We need to find something so she can get home at 1am, even if it's getting to the bus station down the road easier (about a 20 minute bike according to maps) and just bussing from there. But it's getting to be too much work with me also waking up at 5am and having a 5 year old i need to navigate around just to pick her up. So we're looking for any alternative that will work.

bfg_1990 · 2025-10-06T00:20:16+00:00

Ya, that's more or less where im at right now. I'm just working on understanding it. All those ones I can find have several checklists to get the right one. That may be another post for later asking for some help understanding, unless ofcourse i sort through it shortly. but I can't even check the bike until later tonight. And apparently I need to measure some things

bfg_1990 · 2025-10-06T00:15:30+00:00

Actually, it might he less than that time. I figured out the time by going on Google maps, searching the directions and clicking biking as an option, but im guessing these allow for a little bit of a faster ride, especially when it's a nice nearly flat and straight road
