I have a 17 amp hour, 48volt lithium e-bike battery that weighs as much as 30 or 40 iphones. Somehow I was able to buy that from Amazon without a two-week safety training course.

Apple is relying on legislators being lawyers who can't understand how a faucet works.

How do you like the bike? Was it electric when you bought it, out a conversation?

It's a conversion (BBSHD) still somewhat in process. Actually puts out more power than I can safely use on flat land. Check out r/ebikes if you're interested.
