The drone air-dropped an off-road electric bike directly to the trapped soldier’s location. Once the bike landed safely, the soldier used it to make a rapid, stealthy escape from the combat zone. #EBikes #Ukraine electrek.co/2025/08/01/d...

Flit riding their folding e-bike to the summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) is a cute PR stunt.

Is there a reason the big ring needs to go on the outside or was that to maximize clearance from the chainstays #BikeTooter? On the crank-drive #eBikes motor (e.g. tsdz2, bbs02), the chainring is dished slightly leftward to fit over the gearing reduction... Could it have a smaller ring on the outside? (PITA for shifting / not machined to ramp that direction? What if I have a sync/timing ring for the tandem outside of that and it's bigger than the small ring?)

Yes. (just behind that tree) #leaveTheCarAtHome #climateAction #eBikes #cargoBikes #stroads #ODOTGTFOpdx #FuckCars

I still haven't resolved the 2nd motor part of the BikeFriday tandem #eBikes project. I heard you can put two chainrings on a TSDZ2, but what about 3 and one is the timing/sync chain? This frame evades the need for eccentric bottom bracket by being able to disassemble for travel & thus adjust the length slightly. My feet are kinda big so I worry about getting out of sync as captain, but none of the stokers are with it, so the motor + freewheel goes in the back crank.

Makes me want to find a different motor manufacturer (or find a way to jail break my Bosch, which would be better) #BikeTooter #ebikes
