Have you figured out how you will keep charging it after the apocalypse?
Comment on Bike Riders of lemmy, you okay with me riding my eScooter in the bike lane?
obinice@lemmy.world 1 year agoSlower? The guy said he does 15mph, that’s pretty standard bicycle speed for me, I could go faster if I’m trying to really race somewhere but then my leggies get tireds >.<
Electric motor scooters are pretty neat, I wish I had one, but they’re sooo expensive :-(
One day, after the apocalypse makes money obsolete, I’ll take one from an abandoned shop while I’m scavenging for food :-D

25 km/h (15miles/h) is slow. A racing bicycle will without sweet do 40-50 km/h.

Even your own source disagrees with you 😂
I think you’re looking at the numbers for the top 0.1% of cyclists in the world when they’re competing…

The average is still faster than the speed being discussed, so I don’t think their point is entirely wrong

It’s marginally slower to the point that it doesn’t matter.
It’s not 100% slower like they were claiming, so I think their point is entirely wrong…

What is a amateur?, with my crappy mountain bike I can do 30-35km/h on flat ground, for 30min comfortable, And still get passed by people on race bikes.

Do you have a computer telling you that speed or are you just making a guess? Because I find it unrealistic to be +30 kph on flat ground with a mountain bike for 30 minutes.
I say this because I have a gravel bike and can only keep +30kph for long periods if I’m on a slight incline and I’m pedaling with a purpose (not full sprint, but you wouldn’t see a commuter pedal that hard)
On average people in commuting bikes will most likely be at around 15kph, low 20s on descents.
