Y’all better not be driving any green (gayer) or yellow (gayest) vehicles either!

I never realized until now how easy it is to accidentally chop someone in half with a machete.

I’m no BiteForceologist but I was assume they compare muscle size, muscle attachment points, and mechanical advantage of extant creatures and then apply that data to fossils. So not 100% accurate, but not just guessing randomly.

she was warned by the army’s morale and welfare services that she should have better understood the risks of the job.

Job requirements:

  • must be able to lift 50 lbs
  • must be able to work shifts
  • must accept getting sexually assaulted from time to time

She must have missed that line in the job description.

How mechanically inclined are you?

I did a mid drive conversion because of the lower centre of gravity and to not have to move the motor’s weight as the tire spins. However, rear wheel seems easier and was fairly cheaper the last time I looked (approx 4 years ago). I believe the rear hub comes preinstalled in the wheel, so you’ll need to switch over the tire but that is easy.

It was a fairly easy process, hardest part was removing the bottom bracket with only 1 person (tool would slip, ended up using ratchet straps). Took a couple hours of work but I had everything I needed to do the job.

You’ll need:

  • battery (likely most expensive part)
  • battery mounting hardware (depends on where you put the battery)
  • motor
  • zap straps to tidy up the cables
  • Allen keys
  • bottom bracket extraction tool (if you go mid drive)

From what I saw, front drive motors were the least desirable as it alters the bike’s handling and feel.

In my neck of the woods the motor was ~$400 and battery ~$800 but I went for a large battery.
