Nice. Is this Electric? I see belt drive?
Haven’t looked too closely - but here is a quote off their page:
Bikes
A high-performance electric bike capable of 50+ mile range and speeds...
so I guess it is 
Ya i see that it is not too bad a price either.
They are hiding the REAL price though… OWWW Not even a gel seat it seems… After all, as the muscles go, so does the protection!
They offer a small discount and free shipping…Didn’t charge tax to N.Y…Got it in 1 week…Total was $1005.00…I will be riding it a lot next week and hopefully my excellent first impression will be rewarded…
It can be customized and improved over time…The price got my foot in the door and the rest will soon be history…
Peace
I was thinking of buying a palm tree like that one on the right.

L14 AMD. 4650U 6 core 12 thread. I swapped parts with the Latitude 3500 which is now up for sale, so it’s got 32GB ram and a 1TB NVMe SSD (Silicon Power P34A80). My Thinkpad family is growing, got this, the T14 and the slightly older T495.

It’s what was on that drive. I do kinda want to swap it to something else, but where it is in my list it works. Right now my OS’s for laptops go Debian, Neon, Endeavour, Debian, Endeavour, Debian, Endeavour. I’d LOVE if Void were usable on bare metal IMO to replace Neon with that, but…while it’s a neat little OS to play around with, there’s just too many issues trying to keep it running on bare metal (mostly, multiple applications I LIKE aren’t available). And there’s literally no other OS’s I consider usable anymore, been spoiled by OS’s that do what I want instead of forcing me to do what they want (here’s looking at Fedora).
Ive never had any luck installing Void. Fedora i have used a bit but i just don’t like it as much as other distro’s. Maybe it’s Gnome or the theming or the RPM packaging I’m not sure. It just doesn’t seem to grow on me .
There were some issues a while ago getting Void installed, but now I can install it on MOST hardware without issues. And it runs fine. Updates slow. Lots of software missing IMO. So I don’t tend to stick with it for extended amounts of time.
Fedora, I always use the KDE respin. But still don’t like it. In my experience, it’s too much like Windows in that it DOES get slower over time. I’ve never seen that before on a linux distro, but definitely saw it on Fedora through the last AT LEAST 3 releases, although at this point I’ve abandoned tyring to force myself to like it. It’s also purposely broke NTFS + autofs over network to force you to use systemd mount. Which if I could get systemd mount to WORK for me, might not be so bad, but it just refuses to work. But autofs fails outright, using the same config files as I use on Debian, Neon, and Endeavour.
If a man comes to the doctor, on his head sits a frog. The doctor asks in amazement. “Where did you get it?” The frog answers: “I kicked it in”.
Well, it’s been an expensive two days for us, starting with these:
The first is a boosted antenna which I grabbed as it was on clearance for $25, otherwise I’d prolly never have bothered to get one. The other is our third electric mower with each being an upgrade from the last. The first was a corded 16in deck mower, then an 18in cordless with a built in battery… actually three motorcycle batteries. Now this one, a 20in 40V cordless. Quality is a bit sus, starting is flaky, but once it’s going, there’s no problems. I’m really surprised by how much the price has come down, this was $250 which I think is lower than the last mower. Batteries will still kill you on price ($157 for a second battery), but still, lots cheaper than it used to be.
And then there was today, and this:
That’s a 2021 Nissan Leaf+. Things have changed in our lives, so we no longer need two unlimited range vehicles, plus with the price and range of electric cars these days, well, made perfect sense to lease this. We traded in my 2010 HHR which was on it’s last legs, and my husband gets this, I get the hand me down, a 2018 Crosstrek.
So, I think this might’ve been my most expensive weekend ever.

Really? I tend to disagree 
My most recent purchase today: 32" Monitor off of offerup! The last piece to my home standing desk setup!! HP 32f monitor. Not a bad way to spend $80
My normal t480s with Arch KDE laptop, with a Thinkpad usbc hub up to the monitor and keyboard/mouse.
Sound with a bose micro to be replaced by something that is supported by LInux and doesn’t sound like complete drivel when not used with my phone.
