Not even gonna mince words, I feel like I’ve been crushing on Sabine for like 15 years now. Nothing put a smile on my face more than hearing that classic maniacal laugh of hers in whatever episode of Top Gear she showed up in, because you knew that episode was about to be taken to the next level.

All of the hosts,…

They have GOT to name a corner after her....... 

Go to a good local bike shop that specializes in them. Ride them. There are a few different types and a pretty dramatic price spectrum. I personally prefer the mid-drive cargo bikes like the Xtracycle Edgerunner and the Tern GSD (we have one of each in the family, and both are capable of carrying both our children at…

The first thing to know is that a 1000 watt hub motor is much less powerful than a 1000 watt mid-drive motor. What matters is torque at the wheel. With a hub motor the rated torque is the wheel torque. With mid-drive the motor torque is multiplied by the drive ratio. So if you had a 10 tooth front sprocket and a 30…

Good suggestions. Might be worth renting one to try out for the day before committing a purchase.

If you’re truly e-bike curious, the best thing to do is to experiment. You can read extensively about it, but you won’t know what it’s like until the saddle is underneath you and you feel the electric motor hum against your bum.

I’m sorry, the commenter “Elon’s Backdoor Musk” finds the real Elon Musk to be insufficiently serious.

The “adults” aren’t in the demographic for a luxury EV anyway.

I regularly tackled much tougher hills and terrain in an Olds Bravada.

Isn’t Apple sitting on enough cash to basically buy any two automakers if it really wanted to?

I’ve done bigger (and rougher) hills than that in my 99 extended cab Silverado FFS

There’s a butt for every seat, I suppose. I think it’s an attractive design, personally.

I’d rather eat worms than ride a Harley, but I’ll be sad to see them go.  They provide a pretty cool product for the people that like that sort of motorcycle, and they add to the total number of bikers on the road, which seems like a plus.

Counter-point; the Ducati Scrambler series has been a big hit, and they are low-cost entry level bikes. 

I’ve thought about getting a weekend “toy” kind of bike like a Grom or something.  I’ve just barely got enough free to maybe warrant it for quick errands sans-kids.  And thankfully at a spot in my life where I have a little extra cushion to afford such a toy.  Really the thing holding me back is purely safety.  What’s…

Just my two cents, I find the primary concern among my peers for not buying a motorcycle is that other motorists scare the shit out of us. The arms race of SUV/CUV purchasing for vehicular safety mixed with the rise of distracted driving and frankly never having free time “just for a ride” has made my risk aversion…

This still doesn’t really fill the void for guys looking to dip their toes in to the brand, at least as best as I see it. No one is starting on an Electraglide or Road King, even if the price becomes a bit cheaper (Which doesn’t change the way the used bike market currently is anyways).

Kia Souls are fucking great and if Americans weren’t insecure to the point of frantically committing suicide via autoerotic asphyxiation while furiously sobbing against the backdrop of “Proud To Be An American” played on endless repeat, they would be half the cars on the road. I’m prepared to die on this hill, fucking…

99% of the people ripping on the Kia Soul on the interwebs aren’t car folks. They think the Mercedes G Wagon is the ultimate vehicle when we all know which car is always the answer

Fucking FLEX with that Morgan in the shot and I’m here for it...
