I'm a daily rider/commuter by motorcycle and I'd love to get an electric bike. I don't think I'd miss shifting gears at all, but (and I've been thinking about this) I think I'd like to have some kind of electric "clutch" that doesn't work at all like a regular clutch but performs a similar function. In this case it would adjust the throttle map. Clutch full in = throttle does nothing. Clutch full out = aggressive or linear throttle map. I have not actually ridden any of the high end e-motos to know if this is necessary, but in my mind I would miss the ability to feather the clutch.

Yeah, I'd be getting a lower class ebike coz in Australia basically an ebike has to be 250w or less and pedal assist or it falls into a grey/illegal area. I can't be arsed with running an illegal bike - even if I might never get caught/questioned.

I feel like it'd be something like:

  1. KTM Adv 790
  2. Zero DSR
  3. Cake Osa+

Something for offroad motocamp trips. Something electric for daily comute and runabout. And an electric grocery getter - which tbh should probs be an ebike so I could ride on bike paths etc, but I'll keep my answer more moto related.

Possum got to some of my tomato seedlings overnight :(
Guess I'll be spending some of today reconfiguring the wire mesh fencing.

I really love their Exquisite Corpse EP, but they're an awesome band all round. Such great layers of melody and rhythm. One of my favourite drummers - saw them recently and Stella was awesome to watch (although I thought the sound mix for them was pretty bad, which was disappointing, but other people thought they sounded great, so dunno~)

Haha so wild to see this here. A few of my friends are in the video and I met the front man at a few parties. I'm actually not sure if the band is still together, or broken up tho

'Please touch on your Myki before and after using the recycling machine'...

..."Ffffffffffffffuuuuu-"

Fingers crossed they didn't roll out their own solution is what I'm trying to say.

Hell yes! Swedish emo getting a spin. An exchange student put me onto these guys and this album is actually pretty solid. I liked "Run, run, run"
