This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

That's amazing! I just passed 1100km on my e-bike and I love it! Have you had to replace the battery after that many kilometers?

[–] Flost888@feddit.ch 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks :) I have not replaced it jet, but i want to mention:

  1. The speed i reach easily dropped from 44.5 to 42 km/h
  2. The Distance i can max. travel in turbomode dropped from 47km to 42km. On the display it still showes 47 fully charged, but the 5km just vanish on tour.

Would you again buy a 50 km/h bike vs. a 25 km/h one? I consider buying an e-bike to pull a trailer but I am not sure if I need the extra power, 25 km/h seems plenty. Does it feel saver when you can drive as fast as surrounding cars?

[–] Flost888@feddit.ch 2 points 1 year ago

I would buy a 45km/h ebike again in a heartbeat. The slower ebike has a better range, but it supports you less long and your travel time is longer (in my case 17 instead of 30min). Car drivers can always overtake you, at higher speed they need more distance. In my opinion, a rearview mirror should be attached to every bike for commuting. You will notice quieter e-cars or fast approaching racing machines much earlier and can take actions.
