    Oh no! Anyway…

    Another drop-shipper … err, I mean “manufacturer” of cheap Chinesium garbage bites the dust. The more of these companies on the trash heap of history, the better. Say hi to VanMoof and their stupid garbage when you get there, Juiced. It’s just too bad they didn’t eat shit far sooner.

    I have negative sympathies for people who buy this garbage. “Why would I spend $8000 for a life-critical, high amperage transportation system with FUCKING LITHIUM in it?! I could spend $1500 and get something just as good! Oh shit, my house burned down/my bike can’t be serviced by the LBS/I can’t get any parts.”

    Remember in grade school, when we had all those caveat emptor lessons? Does that just not happen anymore? Because I think it’s one of the few possible explanations for how much cheap, dangerous crap there is that people are buying. Not just crappy e-bikes, but the freighters full of shit that is all destined for local landfills.
