    What are your thoughts on protected bike lanes?

    Personally, I believe that protected bike lanes are often seen as a safer option for cyclists, but some argue that improving shared road access is just as important. Should cities invest more in protected bike lanes or is it better to make existing roads safer and more accessible for cyclists?

    Why do e-bikes use bell instead of horn?

    From my experience of using bikes for years, all of their bells typically have a familiar sound that others can easily recognize as a bike bell. But I keep wondering why they don't have bikes use horn? Could it be that there's a way they expect people to reach to bike bells and car horns...

    It's actually going to be both of them became with e-bikes, there are some distance they can't cover because of their battery's capacity. Electric cars are designed for longer distances better than e-bikes.

    Unfortunately, I don't own a scooter 🛵 yet. So, I wouldn't really know much about what the app is used for and how it benefits the users. Do some scooters come with LCD display like e-bikes do?

    How much range do most riders actually need every day?

    I usually cover 40km to 50km most of the time whenever I'm out and it's going to take the same thing when I'm coming back. So, I'm roughly going about 80km to 100km. My battery capacity is packed at 300km, so I'm very much good with nothing to worry about.

    Why do some e-bike batteries degrade faster in hot climates?

    Also, consider the source of charging because I've seen some people use poor low current to charge their batteries and it causes degradation too.

    What’s the real difference between torque and speed in e-bikes?

    Personally, I would choose torque every time. Most of my riding is in traffic and around town, so having that instant pull off the line feels a lot more useful than chasing top speed. Also, I try as much as possible to not speed too much to avoid accidents.
