I got some good news – the kind of thing a lot of people celebrate by buying something major. I don’t drive and I have a nice place to live and I feel like I have most of the stuff I want. I realized that this is the kind of thing that earlier in my life I would have had a lot of fun fantasizing about. So I bring it to you, Lemmy: what would it be for you?

    do you find yourself putting the mten3 in a backpack ever?

    not a lot, because I try to ride everywhere on it whenever I can, but whenever the destination is too far or it’s very rainy or maybe there are no bike lanes available (very often sadly) I tend to carry it in a backpack

    on smaller distances (<100 meters) I tend to just pick it up and carry it by hand, i desperately need to modify it with a trolley handle, because even though it’s pretty light by euc standards, it’s not very fun to carry

    approximately equivalent to an euc, (speed/range)

    by the way, you probably already know this, but just in case, those specs are often not very accurate, it is the case for any electric vehicle, as the officially declared ranges are performed by a somewhat light person, on perfectly flat terrain with no wind and no acceleration and deceleration

    in case of mten3, with reasonable riding speeds and not too aggressive acceleration/deceleration I get about 30 kilometers of range, you could probably go to 40 if you’re lighter and less aggressive about your riding style (that’s on a 512wh battery version)
