Chinese engineering team: here's schematics for the TSDZ2 drive, we can also send one with a programming interface if you need.

Embarrassing that the stupid republican villages were one of the first places to adopt mass golf cart transportation. They use so much less energy to get around than the people in PT who lease a brand new rav4 every fucking year. U.S. urbanism feels like a masturbatorium of motion for action.

Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability & quality of life.
Common sense.
Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

If designed inclusively, cycling infrastructure offers independent mobility to those with physical impairments who are left behind by car dependence.
For many people housebound or reliant on others for transport, two—or three—wheeled travel isn’t just a form of movement, it’s a form of empowerment.

We literally have data showing that cars -- especially large trucks and SUVs-- *are* inherently deadly because of their design. I have no patience for this.

Interesting study from Germany on e-bikes and the modes they replace:
"43.1% of electric bicycle trips and 63.2% of electric bicycle mileage would have been undertaken using a car if no e-bike had been available, highlighting their substantial potential to reduce transport-related CO2 emissions"

The Honda Nippi was for wheelchair users to retain mobility. They still make these types of vehicles, but you can’t get them here in the states.

Video my sister-in-law helped me shoot at the beginning of the season talking about the tools/trikes/bikes in the workflow. Even in video it’s hard to get a sense of scale, but nothing pictured is wider than 4ft.

At first we just smiled when we’d see each other.
Then said hello.
Then started riding side by side for a few mins with some small talk.
And after a few weeks we got to know each other & became friends!
I have never made a friend on a car commute.

You always risk something when you monetize something you love. For me I haven’t gone on a proper bikepacking trip since I started this business because of the seasonal overlap. Very much miss biking for adventure.

I'm 1.94m (6'4") tall and would absolutely buy this car if they were available for purchase in the US. It's simple A to B transportation. I don't want a mortgage on 4 wheels for simple, daily life.
If cars were just Necco Wafer-colored Busytown buggies, I would be ok with them.

So cool never having to go to the gas station to fill big tanks, then a bunch of little tanks mixed with oil, then spill a bunch when you go to fill the even smaller tanks on tools. - None of that with an all battery workflow! 🔋
