it is pretty difficult to pedal on its own, the kepler is a 70lb bike with its battery. but i can still feel my legs doing work when i set the assist low and i can get it going on flat ground when i turn off the motor.

i have an ariel rider kepler, it seems like it checks your boxes with the speed and power requirements, and it does have amazing range but i'm not sure how the range would hold up if you're constantly keeping the motor at 100% going super fast all the time. if you could manage to charge it when you get your destination, it might be good for 35 miles. or you could add another battery, i think ive seen youtube videos with the kepler getting a battery mod.

• the same nintendo games 🏴‍☠️

im very tempted to, spotify has been kinda shitty lately

ah yeah i live around seattle so i understand the need for hill-climbability, my bike was not cheap at all and it handles all the hills around here like a beast. if you ever get an opportunity to try out a 1000w ebike i think that would be able to cover the pitfalls you're talking about, but i do agree it is a bit of an investment to get started, i definitely wouldn't have my bike if i wasn't able to sell my car.

beloved link light rail ❤️ this stop has the trippiest escalators ever

i actually regret getting rid of my wii u. it had a solid library of games and i sold it to gamestop to buy overwatch and a couple other games during a steam sale. only years later did i learn that the wii u is probably the best console for playing the entire nintendo catalogue. rip.
