Hi Scotty I used to have an Ebike what a disappointment, no range to speak of, slow to charge, and really hard to peddle with a dead battary. So being a mechanic and welder/fabricator i built a gas powered trike with a cargo basket over the engine and rear wheels. way more reliable and efficiant.

I agree with Scotty about Tesla's problems. Why? because in my former job which WAS private & bought out by Big US company, ALL the employees were walking on eggshells knowing our jobs were in jeopardy, but the big wigs kept having meetings with us saying "Oh don't worry we're the ONLY company that makes our products and we're not going anywhere". This was in 2018 and in 2020, I got let go. All the employees knew we were done despite what the bosses were saying. Today 2024, where's our company? SHUT DOWN and gone! Employees will give MORE accurate information of what's going on in a failing company even though the big wigs say, "It's all good, not to fear"

I think the idea is you can ride an electric bike to work instead of driving a car. Peddaling a regular bike to work 10-20 miles isn't practical and you will be all sweaty, but you can easily do this on an ebike if you have a good path and longer range moped style ebike.

@Skylancer727 Месяц назад

I'd say it's mostly the technophiles being obsessed with cool features. In general the main selling points of Teslas are that they're faster and more powerful than cars of the same size and price bracket, smoother from the lack of a motor shaking the cab, have sporty suspension so you can take turns hard, and the built in computer doesn't lag or stutter from the simplest of uses. In general I'd say half of these are very subjective value with only the first two being a value to most. The Tesla fans really seem to praise that last point though which to me makes little sense. Yeah it doesn't stutter and lag like most built in computers, but you also lose things like Android auto and need subscriptions to do much of anything.

Scotty, I own an e-bike for 4 years that replaced my honda accord to take me in a 16 miles trip to work and back. That’s a trip that I would never do pedeling in a normal bicycle, and I think we have 1000’s of people in my case. And as I can see you are simply calling me stupid. Just wondering how am I polluting more. E-bikes battery are a fraction of a size of an EV in therms of production emissions. And here in switzerland where I live, the electricity is 100% renewable. Sorry Scotty, but I can’t really understand your point there. Being a subscriber of your channels for years, made me economize a lot of money in maintenance and small repairs. Love your work but not everything you say its true. Thanks and being friends again 😅

It's the amount of resources it takes to create ev vehicles. And the recycling ability is not good at all. The replacement batteries end up costing more than the vehicles.

@JCapria Месяц назад

Evidently you missed the point. He's saying that as an overwhelming general rule, e-bikes replace regular bikes for regular bike riders... which defeats the purpose of attempting to create less pollution because manufacturing, operating, and maintaining e-bikes creates MORE pollution than a regular bike. If you're actually replacing a car with an e-bike, then you're an exception to that overwhelming rule. Exceptions don't negate the general rule, so what he's saying is still 100% correct. It'd be like if your local pizzeria said "80% of people who order delivery from us choose pepperoni as their topping" and you replied with "that's not true, I've been ordering sausage for 4 years now."

Scotty as a long time bicyclist commuter prior to owning full on loan cars, i respectfully offer you my opinion. My decision came down to getting a vehicle or e-bike but the risk of it getting stolen and occasional need to haul bigger volumes of things swayed me to get the vehicle. It could be a life decision for die hard frugal people. Gj Colorado I suppose. Also, if i had my way, id like a hybrid bike with miniaturized systems for observational learning. Could offer a stepping stone opportunity to qualify people to work on electric vehicles.

@TheopolisQSmith Месяц назад

Back in the 1960’s and 70’s Fiat sold cars here in America. As a big manufacturer in Europe and elsewhere they I am sure expected success. They weren’t a good fit. For many places here mostly cities and medium sized towns. But for reasons unknown the cars constantly broke and rusted away even worse than domestic models. We used to joke that Fiats just couldn’t cross salt water. If they did something happened to them. And yes, I did own a few in my youth.

Humans are incredibly inefficient at converting calories to miles down the road on a bike, however e-bikes are actually very efficient compared to all other modes of transportation. Even more efficient than public transit in European countries. I used to think what you think, but if you're bored and curious, take the time to search about ebike efficiency. Actually very interesting! Love your channel and long live my early 2000s honda accord 5 speed stick, cylinder!! Bought this car because if your honda/toyota recommendation.
