The Enertia Electric Bike

This is a good example of "responsible" hipsterness. I am of course answering back at that 1903 Harley Replica road bicycle with the 2 stroke engine I talked about last week.

The specs for this electric motorbike are better than the 1903, that does come at a higher cost however. Who can put a cost on our environment though? Ok don't answer that.
Price: 12k USD
Top speed only 50mph
Range is 45 miles @ 25mph
0-30mph in 3.8 seconds!
Lithium Phosphate batteries power it. And as always, range, and speed will increase as battery technology gets better.
Its got about the same specs as my 1982 Honda Passport, but mine uses dirty dirty gasoline. I got mine for a 6 pack of wine though, not 12k. I have to say that THIS is a step in the right direction. YAY technology. BOOO big oil!

Oh how we dwindle

I remember why I always stop writing in Journals and Vlogs, and Blogs and such. Its because no one really reads this stuff that much. For the most part I am writing into space. Maybe its good that I write all the time into space, it lets at least some of my creative outlet OUT. Don't want to keep that stuff bundled in. I totally spaced writing a BLOG yesterday, I guess because I actually got out and did something active for once. You can't stay inside all the time, you know. THey say 15 minutes of sunshine per day is actually good for you. Keeps your color, gives you energy somehow, just don't get burnt. I went bike riding yesterday and didn't put sunscreen on my arms, and voila, they are now tannish. See, getting out can be good for you! Always use sunscreen!
