There are consumers at every price point *shrug*. There are a lot of Urban Arrows and GSDs riding around Seattle. But half the initial Rads eventually got stolen. I think that's still the main problem more expensive ebike manufacturers are going to run up against.

I have been bike commuting off and on since I was in elementary school. My Radwagon allowed me to do (and LOVE) 12 mile bike commutes that I never would have tried with a normal push bike.

Imo this was their main mistake

Actually the most infuriating thing for me (at least in 2019/2020 when I was buying my Rads) was all the winemom urbanist ebike activists pushing the $9k-$10k Tern GSDs. yeah I'm sure they're great but they cost more than any car I've ever bought

Since then Russian opiate research hit the Internet, as well as Pfizer on cannabinoids (abanaca and spice etc), Nichols and others continued research, and just generally chemists of many stripes followed the shulgin model of producing variants of a base structure

MxE was definitely referred to that way, and the drug nerds referred to all novel substances that were coming out that way. RCs *originally* mostly meant shulgin compounds, because those are the only compendiums of novel substances available. hundreds of new compounds have come out since

It was clear even on the Dr Drew call in show that he sucked.

Chavez in Venezuela discovered that they didn’t need to shut down the “fake media” but instead buy it and use it as a legitimizing tool. So the rich cronies just bought every media. It’s a playbook, nothing new, just new to you
