ik ben niet tegen fatbikes, ze zijn gewoon fietsen, ze moeten gewoon voldoen aan de regels en gewoon veilig zijn
Yes you can charge little #eBikes via usb-c, if 330Wh battery 250W motor is enough for you, but it will cost $4k https://amplerbikes.com/en
@ascentale @moira #BikeNite A4 I'm guessing no battery with less energy/weight is going to usurp li-ion in #eBikes unless it has better peak power density than ultracapacitors, which are slightly bulky but less weight than batteries, and answer the need for short bursts of charge (for regen braking) or discharge at over 1000W. Few ebikes need more than 0.5-1kWh battery, so saving even 20% on $200-300 battery isn't that significant vs any added weight.

Are there any good ones I'm missing?
Wondering how last night's quite unprecedented Trump tariff talk will affect things you wish to buy?
We've had a go at crunching some numbers, explaining what tariffs are and who pays them, plus how these shifts are likely to affect the distribution of products globally.
People worried about reckless biking might want to look at things such as reckless flower planting, reckless writing, and reckless farting as these are far more pressing issues
or maybe: reckless driving
Well four #ottbikes in the garage now. The #NorcoSeceneVLT #ebikes are waiting for the last #icestorm to be over to be put in service. Tomorrow with warmer temps the #winterbikes will get end of season cleaning and chain cleaning and be put away downstairs.
Friday new #Mazda3Sport getting it's non-winter tires put on.
Blubrake scoops €12m investment and says “ABS will be standard on new e-bikes”
More charging news today, from sub-15-minute charge times yesterday to a world-first USB-C charging e-bike today. This time from Ampler Bikes:

Morelle appeared at the #TaipeiCycle show & spoke of a breakthrough on energy density & offering a sub-15 minute charge.
A 'habit changer and a game changer', so says Gary Fisher in a chat with us this week:

> Superkondensatoren in E-Bikes haben gegenüber herkömmlichen Lithium-Ionen-Akkus eine Reihe von Vorteilen. Sie geben ihre etwa beim Bremsen oder in Abfahrten aufgenommene Energie schnell wieder ab, was etwa beim Beschleunigen oder an Steigungen hilft. verschleißen langsamer, gelten als umweltfreundlicher und sicherer.
