"Honey, I shrunk the DAQ!" First testride with the new Trazer V2.2 and the new Sensors. About 50 % smaller Trippled Battery capacity Standalone USB-C charging port Beeper for UX support Two Buttons with LED Front Sensor is now a "standard" linear potentiometer with a carbon tube "casing" Re-designed rear sensor that now has a bearing instead of plastic on plastic with small air gaps. Works great! Edit: Another overlay video for those interested. Also with a pretty stiff fork setup regarding dynamic sag (21%) ;-) https://youtu.be/1LCTslCTWLQ?is=856_7CwAul5PZ51R

Name a more annoying sound than an American complaining about ebikes. Honestly, we've all heard your opinions before. We know you have them. I don't really like or want an ebike either but there are 12,000,000 whingy comments online about how you're too pure or too dedicated or too fit or too angry at unskilled riders and you're mad about it. We don't need any more. Talk about the market or discontinuation of normal bikes, sure, but complaining about being passed on a climb track or peoples ass cracks is tiring af at this point.

If you don't believe me, check out this writeup from Travis Engel at the Radavist on a similar front rack design that he bodged together on...

The "multiplier effect" is an economic fallacy. "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

They're starting a company and building a factory to get to 30 million electric motors per year by 2030? Per year? 30 million? Is this a joke? Should that be billion? I work for a moderately small automotive supplier in freaking Slovenia and we probably make more than a million electric motors from our designs, by components, in a year. I'm not taking into account all the small DC motors from the likes of Johnson which are a commodity. I'm talking about stepper motors and BLDC drives that are similar to what's in ebike drives. Is the state of manufacturing...
