ah yeah i live around seattle so i understand the need for hill-climbability, my bike was not cheap at all and it handles all the hills around here like a beast. if you ever get an opportunity to try out a 1000w ebike i think that would be able to cover the pitfalls you’re talking about, but i do agree it is a bit of an investment to get started, i definitely wouldn’t have my bike if i wasn’t able to sell my car.
i sold my car so that i could buy an ebike back in february, i now have 400 something miles on it and haven’t had to spend a dime on any maintenance (although i probably should have…) but when it comes to PEV’s they’re definitely one of those things where if you spend more money to get a better quality product you’ll have a much better experience. also since bikes are more standardized its easier to find replacement parts and if you’re willing to put the time into learning how to mess with it you wouldn’t even need to rely on a repair shop.

i installed win10 in a vm yesterday, opened edge to download librewolf, and not only did i get a notification saying “this file may not be safe! be careful!” but next time i minimized edge there was a floating bing search bar in the middle of the screen. this is getting ridiculous microsoft.
living in the pnw rn is great my lungs feel spicy
federation with meta will bring nothing but evil into our niche little corner of the net and i am not for it.
