This is why I bought the Decathlon folding bike, it's decent and it was less than 500€ IIRC, but I wish I could get a Brompton around here.

But then it wouldn't be a penny farthing any more.

If this is ever finished, it would be completely irrelevant in most people's lives.

Cycle touring infrastructure is not the same thing as commuting infrastructure. I'd much rather see an emphasis on things which millions of people could use every day.

This seems to be low hanging fruit for the green left. Yet I don't see a single one of them talking about this. It's all proven technology and easily projected costs and timelines. That would eliminate billions of barrels of oil used every year.

one Intermodal Train with Diesel Locomotives is still a fuckton more efficient then putting it all on trucks. most emissions shit with trains nowadays is just because of people who live next to the track complaining about the smell when they knew that they would be living next to trains when they bought the property 99% of the time.

Electrifying sections of rail instantly triples the cost per km in maintenance, and that's if you only build it where it's most accessible.

>>1381064
This.

>>1381086
You could have a hybrid system whereby only sections of rail are electrified, upon entering a provision section the battery recharges and the grid supplies the motor directly

That way the batteries wouldn't have to be nearly as large, and electrification could be done more economically.

I think we really need an iPhone-like moment for public transportation. Self-driving could help there. Especially for the "last mile".

Should've took a photo of it but while I was picking up food doing delivery on my bike, I struck up conversation with another dude also doing delivery but with an eboard. Custom aluminum skeletonized frame with 2 1.5kw motors. It was nuts, guy wore a full face motorcycle helmet and flew down the road.

Cool a thread that I have answers for.

I've had both a store bought eboard and a custom kit board that I made (pic).

I find that the all terrain tires are necessary if you're commuting in any place that has roads worst than then smoothest streets.
I commute to my classes in the morning because I refuse to take the bus (I go to an east coast college with a very large bus fleet).

The Board is faster than the bus by 5mins and I don't get packed in with students during rush hour.

Downsides to eboard vs ebikes.
>hills fucking kill there range. Bikes you can at least assist the motors.
>Speed also kills range, especially with all terrain tires. Optimal range speed is about 10-12mph. I like to cruise at 20mph tho.
>Bikes are more forgiving if you hit a pothole
>generally injuries from boards are worst than bikes

Always wear a fucking helmet on these things.
