"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)."
"Trenchant criticism, except that it isn't an Apple product at all? I assume the rare earths in the magnet sheath make it a bit worse than a normal cable, but also less likely to be blithely thrown away..."
"I like the idea, and it would be nice to see more printable connector systems, but this one seems fairly limited (I would guess most people only need one coat rack)."
"It's a cute 3D print, but it'd be hard to use - micro-sd cards are definitely a pain to keep track of, I'd say some kind of at least business-card-sized sleeves in a cardfile would be ideal, if you really had to manage a lot of them."
"Hmm mini-usb in is super-archaic, full-size usb-a out is barely better. The ergonomics for cranking look interesting, my instinct is that it'd be nicer to be able to hang the crank off the side and place the body flat on a rock/stump/picnic table for any serious amount of cranking."
"As a bike commuter, I am actually all in favor of making EVs noisier, they can be whisper-quiet, which makes for nasty surprises. Though it's funny to me to see how close they came to calling it "Fart-Sonic"..."
"Some trade-offs I think, there's no "standing on the pedals" possible in a recumbent position. Better aerodynamics, but that won't be much of a consideration here. I like the flexibility overall, but those non-spoked wheels seem clunky to me, I wonder what inspired that choice."
"I have another small-single-wheel trailer, a BOB, it is true that the odd tire/tube size is a little annoying, I would say for limiting the choice of tire more than anything else, so 700c would be a win there. I do think handling would suffer, already having your rig be 50% longer takes some getting used to (esp. in urban settings...) but it might be the tradeoff would still be worth it."
"It'd be customer-friendly if they sold uppers and soles separately, since it's certainly possible to wear out a sole while the upper is still perfectly fine (or even the reverse, though that is less common). But the exposed lashing on the edge of the sole seems very likely to fail first..."
