i was working on my ebike today, and i realised, hey, i bet a bunch of my comrades around the world also have cool bikes :33 if y’all wanna post ur bikes in the comments that’d be fun :3

because i live in shitty burgerland, i can’t completely rely on public transit, but this bike bridges the gap between the metro and places i need to go :3 i love it!

selling my car to get medically necessary surgery! Freedomland™ rocks! :3

    Oh I don’t have a front basket on mine actually, I’m just dangling my helmet off the handlebar in that photo (unless you meant to reply to someone else like OP)

    But I know you can get aftermarket front baskets/racks, just be careful if you get a mountain bike or something because not every front rack works with bikes that have front suspension (since the lower part of the fork moves up and down on those)

    Personally I prefer a rear rack with a detachable pannier bag, my bike came with the rack (since that’s where the battery goes in on this one) and I got the bag cheap enough on Amazon, I can wear it over my shoulder when I get where I’m going and then just clip it back on the bike when I leave, you could also attach a basket or milk crate or whatever, which I gotta start doing eventually so I can carry more groceries

    It also came with the fenders too, though of course those can also be bought aftermarket for bikes that don’t have them

    Only other thing I wish it came with was lights, a lot of ebikes are capable of having their lights be directly powered by the motor’s battery so you don’t need to charge them separately, I’m using USB-charged ones for now which I gotta worry about separately
