It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

For me I've been riding my new mten5 around a lot. It gets about 20 miles of range and will happily cruise at 20mph (max is somewhere over 30).

I also have an ebike, escooter, and 3 other electric unicycles (EUCs) but this little ripper has been my favorite this week.

Yeah, my helmet probably saved my life. RIP in peace Bell Super Air R, you were a good helmet.

Quality fenders will have some sort of emergency breakaway in case something fails but cheaper ones that are all metal lack this basic safety feature. You can create your own breakaways by replacing the bolts with some 5-10 lb zip ties that will break and throw the fender instead of you.

Bell Super Air R is such a good helmet, great choice

I have a similar helmet that I wear when going from 20-30mph from Smith, anything faster and I use my sedici motorcycle helmet
