The Czickness XLV anxious for the SGE

[MindfulMan]

The one ChrisK and mmpsteve are talking about folds. I never considered something like this but I am now.

Yup, it looks like a good package !

 

[RustyHornet]

Cool conversation! I have been looking at eBay kits to convert a normal bike. Haven’t done a whole lot of looking at reviews yet. Cost around $250. That folder looks like a good deal!

Been a steady day here. Some things were accomplished and marked off the to do list. The sun and low 60's made it OK to be outside. More to do tomorrow.

Getting new tires on the wife's vehicle today.

Something I need to address when the weather fully breaks.

Wise decision, tires will go up with everything else.

 

[RustyHornet]

Got this one fixed up enough to move! I am considering an electric conversion for this, but not sure yet. I’ve got others I’ve thought about doing it with too.

Mama and mini-me!

What's the top speed?

Top speed 28 mph. 5 'speeds' electric, from about 8 mph to 28. 7 mechanical gears so you can choose your level of pedal input, or you can just cruise with no input with the hand throttle.

Which is also what makes them kinda dangerous. You don't have to pedal at all, but as soon as you do start pedaling, it wants to push you up to 8 mph (in lowest speed), so it can get away from you if you're going around a corner, etc ..., or approach a curb the wrong way, which is what I did.

of course, either brake shuts it down immediately, but I was too slow.

Mortgage rates rose SHARPLY since last week.

Add that to the rolling snowball of inflation.

Hipsters are going to demand that Joe print more money and distribute it. Probably pecking on their lap tops about it like deranged chickens as we speak.

’Free‘ $ for all!

Give me $ or give me more $!

Add purple as needed.

Woohoo!!! More money! We are all gonna be rich since Uncle Joe is taking care of us!

You have to see if from their point of view. Without low interest rates, do you know how hard it is to have a new house on the golf course, two BMW's in the garage when you are fresh out of college? I mean, they EXPECT you to pay back that loan. I know - crazy talk, isn't it.

Not to mention vacations in exotic locals in order to post pics on Facebook err. Instagram.

 

[RustyHornet]

Joe can start the push for electric vehicles right here by buying us all electric bicycles so we can cruise like the true gang that we are.

 

[Born2vette]

Hmm, I wonder if I can get a $700 tax rebate on the $750 electric lawn mower I have been contemplating.



Opps, its now $850!

We could race them at Gala Events !

I kind of dig this Army green version from Aventon. This isn't a folder, but you get the idea. About 2K ... so a rather hearty investment !

I know nothing about the brands being discussed but for riding at the cabin the larger diameter wheels will probably be benefical. They will handle irreglar terrain much better and be less likely to pitch you to the ground.

Versus Gmcttr?

Some larger tires are 3" width, while some are 4" ..... it could be a trade-off, with speed/handling being slowed by wider tires.
