TL;DR: Charge when your battery gets to about 20-30% instead of hitting 0.

What's this from?

FYI - they sell titanium rear triangles on Alibaba now if you wanted to swap out lighter parts over time

 

This is why we can't have nice things.

It's like the whole world is collectively shitting the bed.

Do you regret buying it?

Trickle charging is still better than no charging at all, and you would more likely to have a charger that works with you if fast charging is important.

Also, even 120W USB chargers tend to be smaller than their ebike equivalents with the typical barrel pin connectors.

It isn't for me, it's for the community, but thank you.

I don't even disagree with the sentiment entirely, but rules is rules and we try to keep this place friendly.

Carrying some sort of pump is a good idea, but I opt for a hand pump because I don't trust the battery to keep a charge in those little electric pumps and most of my tires aren't very high PSI

ABUS, Skunklock, and Litelock also make good Ulocks.

My personal favorite is the Skunklock Chemical but it's very heavy. Better for ebikes or maybe moto.

Calling them naive is fine, calling them ignorant is fine, but calling them a dumb fuck is dickery - find another way to criticize the legitimate arguments (and by the way, I agree with you, the author is very naive).
