That's the thing, the tomb is on level 11 underground.

Yes, lithium ion battery, if damaged or installed incorrectly, might explode while in use.

That looks cool! Might actually get one if the situation permit

Essential for tropical weather 😎

I saw this one too, but i just couldn't find it anywhere so i have to opt for decathlon's pannier and a cargo sling

I do lock it though, no way i'll leave it unlock, not even in safest city in the world. Though i should upgrade my lock sooner or later

Yeah! I don't think i can make the trip without an ebike, hilly area is a bit too much for my unfit body.

I do lock my bike up even if it's for a minute and only leave it in places with a lot of eyes, like right in front of the shop or motorcycle parking area, and i don't routinely leave my bike at the same area so it's harder to aim at me. It's also a damn heavy bike, at 33kg with battery, so carrying it is a challenge. Still i kinda have to deal with it else i would have a hard time going out with it 😅

Couldn't find the outlet that sells it, but found some no name brand one online and... Yeah it's not exactly cheap either :/

Guess i'll stick to this one for a bit longer

Edit: nvm, found some cheaper one after some further digging

It's a pannier rack so it came with those rail at the side to prevent that, i've also added a support bar that run straight down toward the axle to increase the carrying load, which also helps prevent the bag from swinging into the spokes

Thanks! Yeah it's a bit cluttered but it's a utility bike for me to run errands on weekend, can't really do without any of that stuff.

Where i from, i can't find a bike trailer nor cargo bike as there's virtually no demand here, cycling culture is terrible in Malaysia.

 

Have to hold back a bit else i would have a hard time carrying those back. Maybe i should get a cargo bike or something 😅

 

Sorry if it's irrelevant, but carbrain fight for parking space is always entertaining 🤡

 

Some of their complain is really unhinged.

 

Yesterday i finally whip up the courage to try commuting with bike, i planned the 40km round trip to visit my mom and go grocery shopping on the way back,, planned the route with as much residential street as possible, and that was a fun experience! While there's a lot of "woah, ebike"(where i live a proper ebike is rare, even though mine is converted) and "you travel from that small town? That's insane!" from stranger, what's not fun is the ride on some stretch of the road.

I live in a small town outside the city, a lot of the road going out of the town is pretty much 1 lane each way, no cycling facility for the whole country(Malaysia), the road shoulder is narrow to non-existent(the line is basically bordering between road and grass/dirt) if not filled with potholes/cracks/sketchy road maintenance/bump made by tree root, and motorist often driving very fast even on narrow road. Luckily more often than not they does give me a lot of space when they're passing(thanks to motorcycle culture), but those who don't is very discouraging for the whole experience, mostly it's the one riding moped that pass me too close for comfort with 30/50kmph faster than me(no thanks to motorcycle culture).

I planned to do it often, first by doing a no-car sunday, then slowly switch to commuting to work(also 40km round trip), and eventually cut down car use to only just a day or two a week or only on long distance travel, but this experience kinda made me second guess the whole plan. It's also quite tiring, i can still feel the fatigue today.

So how did you guys that do the commute able to keep going? Any advice on that end?

 

I know there's a purge function, but i had a problem currently with people posting porn picture in my instance(which is not allowed), then later edit out the link so i couldn't get the picture purged as well. Is there a way to do it?
