I rode my brand new ride again today; it is so nice, but it is also so slow. I hope it will be the last time I ride it stock XD

what's slightly concerning is that I find myself clenching my quads, I think that is to counter the clenching of my butt due to the rear suspension having such little travel distance, and thus still hitting bumps harder than i would like.

I did notice the front tire seemed a tad flat, so that might have had a lot to do with it. Time will tell!

@Zevon it began the sunday before last! this coming sunday will premiere the 3rd episode on P+!

my pops and I have watched Tulsa King and it has been our show, after he lost interest in the series Equalizer [we watched the movies before we knew of the show]

the new seasons' episodes however, he's been too busy with his social life so I'll rewatch it with him when he has time :)

I think I'll put that scoot on hold if it will take me more than a day because my FATHER has shown interest in a scooter I've picked up!!! WTF! I love this! I now have enough room to do so, so...

it is time to negotiate patio room, and whether I can expand my tiny 30% of it.

(I pay the rent and all but one utility, in case an ass feels the need to poop at me)

threw away the last child's scooter [didn't work, used for spare parts to make the other 3 work. Your sacrifice was not in vain!], sold a project I bought for almost break-even; it is worth losing five bucks.

I got a scooter in my car which I have history with! I repaired it for someone and they sold it back to me when it was damaged again! Hopefully it wasn't due to my repair being up to snuff, but if it was, then at least it's a simple fix! but my commuter, it has been waiting for me >.>

@singlemaltgirl socially hacking the masses is the only thing that is needed.

It sounds SO MUCH EASIER than it actually is. THANKS CAPITALISM FOR DIVIDING US INTO OUR CUBICULES IN BOTH OUR WORK AND HOME LIVES

@singlemaltgirl technically that's also a good deed, too. hmmm, you may never achieve a deficit in doing bad things to warrant all the good that you do.

@singlemaltgirl should that be your good deed that absolves you of all bad deeds, then would you mind robbing a billionaire on my behalf? :D

@singlemaltgirl much appreciated! <3

someone tell me i need to stop looking at fb marketplace. I got my work cut out for me. oigh

i got another scoot in my back seat. I should get that out. fuuu.

Sold my favorite e-bike today. I rode it around my city and had a really nice time with it, up until it stopped working [luckily] near my home. I thought the motor cable was bad but after replacing it the problem persisted and the display even gave me an error at that point!

In any case, I was lucky to sell it for the same price I bought it.

More room in my patio, now. PSYCH! I unfolded a bike from my trunk and put it there. I don't think I want to work on it at all, tho. SELL TIME!

I could probably fix it, but I need the space more so.

FUCK

my actual e-bike, the one I loved and had so much hope for. I consider it dead.

mainly due to frustration; the plate enclosing the controller stripped a screw and I can no longer access it, which is where most of the important cabling exists.

I tried drilling the screw out and my drill bit snapped. yay shit bits from china for super cheap.

I'm trying to sell it for what I got for it and I think my honest description is scaring the normies away, which is to be expected.

@ACG2 oh not at all! by motorized bicycle, do you mean a gas powered one? otherwise that'd be an ebike XD

Scooters are a different style of balance, and seeing how my friend's kids had trouble on the escoots i got them, I think I can understand the differentiation you mention.

I'm more or less a novice in bikes and scoots in that I've owned them for short periods of time through my life, so electrified versions are also very new to me as well. I'm confident in regular riding tho :)

It's all I talk about, scoots and ebikes and stuff. I don't want to talk about work. I got nothing else, really, aside from family stuff that I really can't complain about. anyhoo, I think I just-- well, this is shouting into the void about stuff only one guy at work is also interested in, with a few nice echoes back :)

I think I fixed the hub motor of the only actual ebike i got [i got totes full of scoots, but only 3 true ebikes have passed through my patio]. Bought a new cable. Two actually, coz i think my job might be super easy with simply replacing an extension vs. splicing a plug to bare wires. ugh i hate splicing it is so ugly, and this is coming from me, who builds crap for pure function. I guess a neat splice is function tho.

@JV3MJD that is the bread and butter of repubs! they don't care! they will completely shut everything down, and through their more powerful channels, raise more silly hell like eating pets. Main media is complicit.

and I just gave one away to a friend's kid who's birthday is in a week, and he has a brother, so his parents will buy that one, and given that the birthday party will happen next week, maybe I'll be able to sell the third to a parent at that time. we'll see!

I'm glad I built the batteries for the razor scoots ahead of time; I guess I'm used to procrastinating and doing everything up to a point. However in this case, there was no deadline so I guess procrastination was never in the equation.

In any case, 3 razor scoots for kiddos are for sale. hopefully i can drop them fast so i can make room.
