Got bored, rode a burrito cooler across the country. What did you do with your weekend?

[@noobFab]

Pre-pandemic I rode a Triumph Street Triple motorcycle over 4,000mi across the US in 16 days with about a month of planning. Outside of the Interstate, my routes proved to be as unpredictable as Louis'. Riding tarmac on a full size motorcycle with a light dusting of gravel was just as bad as sand on the K6. Butt endurance was also a *major* factor. 600 miles in one day left me squirming by lunchtime and in major distress by 4pm. While it might seem that you could easily average 60mph over 10 hours, it takes a lot longer when you add in even the most basic sightseeing, food, pee breaks, more food and gas, gas, gas. HOWEVER, that feeling of euphoria, as you near the finish, are able to focus on your achievement, and the more painful elements fade to distant memories, is epic! Adventures are about challenging yourself, doing things you might not be able to do, and learning what's possible.

[@naazknows]

Watching you get yelled at on the highway was really upsetting - I’m wheelchair bound and frequently the sidewalks in my city are impassable. The number of times I’ve been yelled at to get off the road when there's no other option is insane. It’s devastating and scary every time. I’m so glad you were safe in the end, but the lack of bike lanes is an accessibility issue, too!

[@FarikoUnited1]

that unicycle on the highway seemed super sketch but also the idiot drivers not paying attention to what was happening in front of them or like that one specifically stopping in the fast lane to yell at you just made it that much worse.

[@jackrabbitbike]

The speed limit changing while you were pedaling is completely by design to follow the regulations in the US. They can't advertise how to break the law. Anyone in the US with an interest in eBikes should familiarize themselves with the 3 classes, and any state/local laws regarding their use, even if you plan to not follow them.

[@TheMindOfBrick]

FYI: “Hot Swapping” means a system with dual batteries, and you change them one at a time, keeping the system online so as not to have to do a restart. For instance in a drone connected to GPS that would have to reacquire satellites once it’s powered down, so to save time you Hot Swap. Like during search and rescue. Changing a battery is just changing a battery.

[@Weisz]

I tried to look this up for the script! Almost changed the wording, but then I read that a hot swap refers to any kind of swap that occurs while a device is powered on. So, I guess it’s not technically powered on, but the power switch is in the on position. I’ll fix it for next time. :)

[@SUPER_HELPFUL]

I hate driving on the interstate. Whenever I do a road trip I try to stick to two lane roads as much as possible unless we were under time constraints. The smaller roads always go through much more scenic routes. Also, how the hell does that unicycle have so much range?

[@SandrA-hr5zk]

All bikes are limited to 20mph because that is the street limit in most areas and the national parks. Most bikes can be changed to 28mph but you sacrifice your battery life. Max range is usually not achieved if you're going at full speed. Plus, lithium batteries don't do well in cold weather and you lose some battery life. I've put over 1,000 miles in 2 years on my Lectric XP2.0 bike. I use two batteries (one standard, one extended range) for about 35 miles on a newspaper route.

[@Weisz]

You’re absolutely right, and increasing the max speed does drain your battery life! I wanted to test the way that most consumers will experience these vehicles, regardless of technical knowledge. The following is not a roast, just an observation: I think the issue is that unlike the EV car industry, there’s no standardized range benchmark for PEV’s (and even that system isn’t perfect, I’ve heard tesla inflates numbers in some ways) The thing is, sometimes you get a company like async, who tries to quote your range the way you’ll actually ride the bike - so they say 50-88 miles “throttle only range” (depending on mode/speed). Other times, brands seem to want to have a bigger “range” number - but realistically nobody is doing 100+ miles PEDALING at 12mph on a moped seat. So, why even include that statistic? 50ish miles with throttle only is great! But when most of your consumers are buying from a spec sheet (because they’re buying online) more impressive claims often make the sale. As a consumer I’d rather buy a product and be pleasantly surprised that it goes a little further than I expected, than buy a product and discover it goes less far than I expected. If my plan was to pedal, I’d buy a different kind of ebike.

[@SandrA-hr5zk]

@@Weisz Completely true. Even the motor specs are often inflated. There’s an initial burst when you start, but then maintains a lower power when cruising. Doing a newspaper route, I have to stop, slow down, make u-turns, and go over some obnoxious speed humps. Plus, I have the weight of the papers in the front and rear baskets. Before I got the second battery I would really have to limit my max speed to about 10-12mph to get enough range to make it back to my car. I’ve had to huff it back to my car and it really ruins the day to pedal a 50+lb bike. I absolutely love it, but there needs to be some realistic specs put on these info sheets.

I sold my cars 4 years ago to ride eBikes full time & haven't regretted it, even as a single father, i get most places faster, arrive less stressed,& it only cost me $4.50 for every 1k miles traveled, that's including the first 2-3 years of maintenance too 😂

[@explictedcontent]

How'd you decide whats bikes you were gonna ride? Just companies that would sponsor this trip? Theres many variety of e bikes that are cheaper and go farther, also built well. So i was just wondering. Fun watch!

[@Weisz]

I just did as much research as I could! I am only one man 😂 Also, my priority was to focus on having a lot of different vehicles, not just the best “bang for your buck” in every category. Ex: There are other small ebikes, but none that I saw that aren’t folding. the jackrabbit is the only one that actually looks cool, has a solid frame, and rides well. I don’t like folding ebikes. So I prioritized featuring things with cool designs, bringing new ideas to the space, etc. If you’re looking for a cheap bike or ebike, I’d start by looking for reputable brands on the used market!

[@TheNone724]

Bit bigger and faster cooler would have been good idea because three wheels would be much more stable at slippery conditions. You could even use battery to run cooler's compressor with inverter so you wouldn't need external power to keep burritos cool.

[@Weisz]

Funny thing about that cooler, it’s actually not a fridge - so you still have to use ice. To squeeze out a little extra freshness, I actually packed them with dry ice to keep them frozen on day 1 and 3, but after la junta there was nowhere we could buy it so I just went with regular ice.
