  • "I see no pedals at all- folding or not- in any of the pictures. Those are the parts that would stick out the most, after the bars, probably even more than the front rack/basket.Storage seems secondary to the exercise of designing a small wheel ebike. There's just a quick release stem that rotates. But how is even that addressed? Is there any way to center the bars easily, or does the rider stop and readjust the bars after the first few feet of riding the bike and noticing the bars aren't pointed exactly straight?How does rotating the stem affect the headset adjustment cap and the headset adjustment itself?What about the control routing? Rotating the bars 90 degrees like that puts a bit of strain on the hoses and cable housing as they rotate around the steerer tube with that internal routing. That slack can come from the exposed hose and cable housing, but then they're repeatedly sliding in and out of those upper holes leading to stress there, abrasion, and contaminant ingress.And is there a steering stop to prevent the bars from over rotating and damaging the hoses and housing? There are simple ways of doing that, but the implementation of it makes all the difference."

  • "I was at a diner where they had a straw dispenser like the Dinsor. The server just pulled up the top while giving it a little twist and the straws all splayed out, easy to grab. The dispenser just needed not to be overloaded so the straws could move around a bit, and spinning the holder made all the straws stick out the same direction."
