"Hmm, the barrel jack for power instead of usb-c pd seems pretty retro. Also wondering what the micro-usb-a (labelled "SERVICE") is for?"

"I would have thought the simplest solution would be to have an overlapping front panel, like a peacoat, but the zipper suggests they must have split the protective layer. Make sure you get knifed at an angle?"

"I don't think we'd call them "quadricycles" - they don't have pedals? Mini-EVs or something. Lots of interesting aspects: 300 parts total, 40% recycled material, no paint, built in Morocco, driver airbag. I suppose we'll never see them in the US, alas."

"At least here in Portland I find about half of all pedestrians and other riders have Airpods / other earbuds in, and no bell is loud enough to really get through... (I have a similar Spurcycle copy on my handlebars)"

"Seems to me that if they wanted to increase the lifetime and usefulness the vacuum bag should be replaceable? To me the most likely failure would be a leak there from wear and tear, which you might not be able to find (or seal, if you did find it). Of course people might use them in someone else's bags then..."

"https://youtu.be/GEqPjhllYTY?si=1tMVY58pXLTQU2-DPrecious Plastic has been selling a sheet press for years that makes 1.5 meter square panels from scrap plastic, seems like it'd be easier to just use those?"

"I have pair of Felco hand pruners with a 'lower' handle the rotates on a bearing, it does make pruning for a long time easier on your hand."

"Possibly those lumens are spread out between the front and side? Even lights designed for trail riding aren't usually 3000lm, that's a lot of light. For riding on the road, ~1000lm is reasonable unless you're in the middle of nowhere, I'd say. One advantage for bike lights is they're a lot easier to angle down than headlights (like all the pickups and SUVs that blind me)."

"I have used some lights / tailights that had side LEDs as well (Light in Motion makes several), ideally I think the 'side' should be amber (or at least not red - since that could confuse other road users the the bike was moving straight away from them, not across their path)."

"True, but that'd be harder to make work with the bottle design, I think. If the usb-a and usb-c were say 4-5cm deeper into the 'neck' of the bottle plugging them in would be hard, maybe if with a much wider mouth / bigger lid that could still be practical."

"Incredibly east? Maybe that was supposed to be "incredibly easy"?"

"Belkin has made star-shaped headphone splitters that look quite similar to the white version."
