Essential Electric Bike Maintenance: Tips and Tricks for a Smooth Ride

Importance of Electric Bike Maintenance Maintaining your electric bike is essential for ensuring its longevity and optimal performance. Just like a traditional bike, an ebike requires regular upkeep, but it also involves specific tasks unique to its electric components. By understanding and performing basic maintenance tasks, you not only enhance your riding experience but also prevent costly repairs down the road. For example, a well-maintained electric bike can improve battery efficiency, extending your riding range and reducing the need for frequent charges. Moreover, regular maintenance habits contribute significantly to safety. Checking the brakes, lights, and other components before each ride can help identify potential hazards before they lead to accidents. A bike that is properly serviced retains its value better, making it easier to sell or trade in the future. Therefore, investing time in maintenance is not just about the present; it's an investment in your bike's future. Battery Maintenance The battery is the heart of your electric bike, and taking care of it is crucial for longevity. It's recommended to charge the battery after every ride, ensuring it remains in good condition for your next adventure. Additionally, when storing the battery, aim for a charge level between 30% and 60% and keep it in a cool, dry place. This practice helps prolong its lifespan and ensures optimal performance. Using the specific charger designed for your electric bike is another vital tip to avoid damage. Extreme temperatures can adversely affect battery performance, so it's wise to keep it away from conditions that could lead to overheating or freezing. Regularly checking the battery connections for corrosion is also essential, as clean connections ensure efficient power transfer. Following the manufacturer's guidelines for battery replacement—typically every 3-5 years—can further safeguard your ebike's performance. Maintaining the tires of your electric bike is crucial for both performance and safety. Regularly check the tire pressure to ensure it aligns with the manufacturer's recommended levels, as proper inflation enhances traction and stability. An example of this would be noticing improved handling and responsiveness after inflating tires to the correct pressure before a ride. Inspecting your tires for wear and tear can prevent flats and ensure a comfortable ride. Depending on your riding habits, tires should be replaced every 1,000 to 3,000 miles, with rotating them periodically to promote even wear. Additionally, using puncture-resistant tires can greatly enhance durability, especially for those who enjoy off-road biking. Maintaining proper tire alignment is also key, as it can significantly impact handling and stability during rides. Chain Maintenance Chain maintenance is an integral part of electric bike care, as it directly affects performance and shifting efficiency. Cleaning and lubricating the chain after every ride prevents wear and ensures smooth operation. For instance, using a damp cloth to wipe down the chain and applying appropriate bike oil can lead to noticeable improvements in gear shifting during your next ride. Regular inspections for signs of rust or damage are important, and if the chain shows significant wear, replacing it can save you from more costly repairs in the future. Adjusting the chain tension as needed is also crucial to prevent slipping while riding. A chain checker tool can be a handy addition to your maintenance kit, helping you monitor wear and replace the chain when necessary. Keeping the chain and drivetrain free from debris is vital for ensuring optimal performance and longevity. Before heading out, it's essential to perform a safety inspection of your electric bike. This includes checking the brakes, lights, and any loose parts to ensure everything is in working order. Regularly inspecting electrical connections can help prevent power issues that may arise during your rides. Monitoring

the temperature of the motor is another critical step, as overheating can lead to serious damage. It's advisable to schedule a major tune-up at least once a year or every 1,000 miles, depending on your usage. This can include checking brake pads for wear and ensuring that handlebars and seats are properly tightened. Testing the functionality of the display and control systems can also help ensure accurate readings, contributing to a safer riding experience. Cleaning and Storage Keeping your electric bike clean is essential for its longevity. After each ride, a simple wipe down with a damp cloth can prevent dirt buildup and maintain the bike's appearance. When cleaning, it's important to avoid using high-pressure water, as this can lead to water ingress into sensitive electrical components. During the off-season, proper storage is key to protecting your bike from the elements. Storing your ebike indoors is ideal, but if you must store it outside, covering it can prevent rust and damage. Regularly cleaning battery contacts and connectors also helps maintain good electrical connections, ensuring reliable performance. For best results, store the bike in a temperature-controlled environment to protect sensitive parts from extreme temperatures. Troubleshooting Common Issues Being proactive about troubleshooting can save you time and frustration with your electric bike. Keeping an eye on software updates can enhance both performance and battery efficiency. If you notice your bike losing power unexpectedly, checking the battery and electrical connections should be your first step. In cases of persistent issues, consulting a professional technician may be necessary for specialized care. Familiarizing yourself with the owner's manual can also provide valuable troubleshooting guidelines specific to your model. Keeping a maintenance log to track repairs and issues will make it easier to identify patterns and address problems as they arise. By staying vigilant and informed, you can keep your electric bike running smoothly for many rides to come.

I am FULLY ONBOARD the Harris/Waltz train, tho before this i was leaning towards Mark Kelly (AZ is a swing state! He's an ASTRONAUT!) If you want or have time, no pressure, but any thoughts on what makes Waltz a better pick?

I like Mark Kelly too, and since he's married to Gabby Giffords (having run for public office after she got shot and could no longer do so) he would have been an amazing pick in terms of supporting the first female POTUS. But he is a less charismatic public speaker than Walz (for whatever that's worth, but politics is a mess of Aesthetics and Vibes that matter as much and/or more than actual facts) and more moderate/conservative. He's been a great senator and picking him would defuse some of the BORDER IMMIGRATION BLAH BLAH!!! scaremongering that Republicans love to run on, but it would also leave open the possibility of losing a special election and other dangers with the Democratic senate that we really need to minimize. So Walz is a better choice for that alone, but also:

He really has serious progressive credentials as governor, even if he was a fairly mainstream Democrat (who flipped a rural red House district in Minnesota that Democrats have not been able to win again after he left) during his 12 years in the House. This is an INCOMPLETE LIST of what he was able to do in two years with a one-seat Democratic majority in Minnesota:

A Climate Action Plan that included:

Investing in energy infrastructure

100% carbon-free electricity by 2040 goal

Transition off of fossil fuels and onto clean energy resources

Building more electric vehicle charging stations

Providing funding to help workers acquire new skills through apprenticeship programs in clean energy fields

Direct state funding for transit

Money for rail

Tax credit for e-bikes

Permitting form to fast-track clean energy projects

And that was in addition to:

Codified abortion access in Minnesota

Guaranteed paid sick time and paid family and medical leave

Funded replacing ALL LEAD PIPES IN THE STATE

Free school breakfasts and lunches for all

Made public college free

Stronger labor protections

Drivers’ Licenses for All

Voting Rights Act to reverse recent court rulings that make voting harder, including restored voting rights to convicted felons

Banning medical debt from credit bureaus

The "Taylor Swift Bill" requiring all ticket "junk fees" be shown up front

Banning most "junk fees"

No book bans

Protection for tipped workers

Banned non-competes

Legalized recreational cannabis

Gun control, including increased penalties for straw purchases of firearms, expanded background checks and enacted red-flag laws, passing gun safety measures that the GOP has thwarted for years

Made MN a Trans Refuge State, and required health plans to cover “medically necessary gender-affirming care.”

Pay increase for Uber and Lyft drivers

Elimination of the so-called “gay panic defense”

A ban on “doxxing” election workers

A prohibition on “swatting” elected officials

In March, during the height of the Gaza/uncommitted primary protests against Biden, Walz said that young people should be listened to and they had a right to be speaking up and the situation in Gaza was horrible and intolerable, without directly slamming Biden or getting involved in the issue in a way to draw negative headlines. Regardless of what you think about any of it, that is a very deft way to handle it and pairs well with Kamala's better responsiveness on the Gaza issue overall. That was a big part of the reason why Gen Z/younger voters were very excited about Walz despite him being an "old" (actually the same age as Kamala but he has joked that teaching high school for 20 years will do that to a guy) white guy. If half the battle in politics is making the right pick to excite your core voters and reach out to new ones, then Harris nailed it. As I have said in earlier posts, there was just too much energy with young voters FINALLY checking in when Harris became the candidate, to risk introducing a big ideological split with Shapiro.

Aside from that: the most insufferable Smart White-Bro Political Pundits (TM) are big mad about Walz, many Never Trumper Republicans thought they were entitled to a "moderate" in exchange for oh-so-generously lending us their vote against Trump and not run the risk that we might end up with someone *gasp* progressive, and the regular MAGA Republicans are hysterical, which means they're terrified. It's also incredibly hard to paint Literal Midwestern Stereotype Dad (football coach, social studies high school teacher, military veteran, etc) as THE EVIL END OF AMERICA in the way they desperately want to do, though the fact that they're trying shows that they've got literally nothing. The fact that Kamala picked Walz against the PREVAILING WISDOM!!! that she had to take Shapiro (for whatever reason that might have been) is also a good sign, because by far the most genuine and extensive enthusiasm that I have seen from Democratic voters, especially those feeling burned out or disillusioned or angry with specific policy choices of the current administration, was for Walz. Having everyone excited for the pick beforehand, effectively using the "weird" line, and rallying behind the guy, only for her to actually go for him, is inspiring. It makes people feel like they're being heard and the Democrats have decided to win by being progressive, and not just endlessly Catering To The (Imaginary) Middle as they have always been told to do (and often done). That alone is MASSIVE.

Walz is tremendously funny, personable, has Democrats from AOC to Joe Manchin praising it (again, shocking), was right out the gate supporting Kamala, has already been majorly successful on TV, was by far the most progressive-on-policy picks of the VP finalists, is incredibly, hilariously wholesome and small-town Midwestern (he's the JD Vance that they wish JD Vance was), and is already sending ActBlue gangbusters with donations again. And when you're getting this kind of response on the Cursed Bird Hellsite, just:

Just. I don't know what's happening either. But let's enjoy it, and then work hard, because we gotta fucking do this and for possibly the first time this entire year, I really think we might. Heck yeah.

Hey I saw your post about the puffy battery and my 3DS has that (it’s starting to crack the case). I knew it was affecting the battery life but I didn’t know that it was dangerous. How would you go about repairing/replacing this?

ok this is going on my FAQ after this. possibly in my pinned post.

Contact your local *non emergency* number and ask them how to dispose of a puffy lithium ion battery. Follow their instructions.

To remove the battery from the case (which is the best thing to do in that situation) follow the instructions linked in my pinned post "for physical 3DS issues" (https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Nintendo_Handheld_Console)

Be as careful as possible to NOT puncture the battery.

for getting a replacement, just look at the number on your 3DS's battery and type that into amazon. Should be plenty of results, all around $10~$20 USD and they should work perfectly fine. check the reviews if you are worried.

Again, if you have any battery that is bending or breaking the case, is is a legitimate explosion hazard. That battery can explode into a fiery ball of toxic gas. It is in your best interest to dispose of it as soon as possible.

this also goes for batteries inside of ANY electronic device. Switch batteries, macbook batteries, phone batteries, electric bike batteries are also examples of lithium ion batteries that get a lot of usage and often can get overcharged.

Jason's affection knows no bounds- he makes sure that you feel great and are doing perfect and that everything in life is alright

Cold? He's got a hoodie and a blanket. Sad? He's a leather shoulder to cry on. Happy? He's happy too

he likes to be touching at any moment

On patrol you're rubbing shoulders and he's as close to you as possible without straight up hugging you, he's got a hang on your back, hand on your thigh, he's got both hands holding your hands, you two link pinkies, his hand is in your hair, his hand is on your cheek, any form of touch

B= Bond- What do you bond over

Jay really, really likes reading so if you're into reading, he wants to talk about it a lot

if you're not a reader, well surprise, you are now

hearing him talk so highly of his books makes you want to read, just so you can talk to him more about them

He likes to work on his bike and clean his weapons so if you're down to help him, he'd be so excited

if you also have a tragic backstory, get ready to trauma dump with each other

he's got a deep respect for those who have lived through terrible tragedies and are still functioning members of society (even if it's partial functioning)

C= Cuddles- How do they cuddle

Cuddle monster

like it's cheesy but it's how you describe him

he also loves sleeping on top of you with his head buried in your neck or using your chest as a pillow and he's got his arms wrapped tightly around you

he likes to be the big spoon since he finds it uncomfortable for someone his sized to be cuddled lol

he's a giant so just let him tuck you into his chest and snooze away

he likes to cuddle in minimal clothing sometimes, not in a sexy way but in a he really likes having you close to him at all times

plus, he's a space heater so it's not like you're going to get cold

he loves being domestic

you two have a nice medium sized apartment with a guest room or two and your bedroom and an office maybe with a big kitchen and living room and a washer and dryer room

He makes bank on that criminal mastermind gig

Plus, if you're working, it helps being dual income

He really likes cleaning around the house and you think it's a stress reliever for him

there are temporary dance breaks during cleaning and he likes to dip you down and kiss you to whatever song is playing- he secretly finds it adorable when you dance on his feet and he will not complain, but don't tell a soul deary

he really really really likes to cook too

Your place always smells like a master piece and Jason really likes going to William Sonoma

it's the fanciest place that he will willingly go to

E= Ego- How much do they think about themselves in a relationship

He's got boundaries like a normal human being, but the dude is really selfless

Jason just wants everything to be alright and he is able to make compromises where they need to be made

the one thing that he really, really cares about is making sure that his weapons, bike, helmet, and things are all in check

I wouldn't recommend going around and messing with anything unless you have to

Like he's not going to be mad at you, but Jason just prefers that that stuff gets left alone unless specifically told otherwise

F= Fights- How are they during and after fights

fights are few and in between but when they happen, they happen

it's not really ever over anything small because you can quickly just talk it out with Jason

if it's over something like a mission or safety or doing something reckless, it's a big fight

he doesn't yell, he hates yelling at you, but his eyes go dark and he's so angry

he's probably clenching his jaw and just has to take a minute to cool off at some points

"I'm not ignoring you, I just can't talk about this while I'm this angry about it."

and he'll go on a brisk walk to cool off

he comes back and sits down and talks about it less angry

Alfred once told him, "it's not you against Y/N, it's you and Y/N against the problem. Don't be upset with each other that you have differing views or wants, that's how humans work, we're all different. Anger only gets grown men into bat costumes Master Jason."

G= Growth- How does your relationship change them

Jason actually becomes more secure in himself

it's like you've taught him that he deserves to be loved, so it's easier for him to accept that he doesn't hate himself

he's more patient, more deliberate with the things that he does and says and because of this, he comes home from patrol less and less injured

H= Hugs-What are hugs like

big bear hugs

he likes to engulf you and make sure that you're not leaving for a little while

He likes all kinds of hugs because it means that he's close to you, but he prefers the ones that turn into cuddle sessions

he'll run his hands through your hair or scratch your back

sometimes when he's having a bad day, he just needs to burry his head in the crook of your neck and have you whisper that it's going to be alright

I= I love you- How fast did it take for them to say II love you

he doesn't say it too fast, but he also doesn't take forever to say it

It's maybe like a year or a bit less into dating and he has to leave for a mission

You were either not going to go because you're not a vigilante, or you needed to stay behind to make sure that some crime mob wasn't starting back up

He says "I love you" when he's about to leave

He doesn't want to leave you, but he knows he has to

He hugs you so tight when you say it back

it means the world to him that you care about him like that

it's a rib crushing soul and he thinks about it the entire mission

J= Jealousy- How jealous are they

I'd say he can be pretty jealous but also he's easily leveled off

if someone is taking your attention and he's not getting as much as usual, he inserts himself into conversations or situations like a Golden Retriever

he just kinds of sits there and stares at your or rubs circles on your hang until you give him attention

If it's someone flirting with you, he likes to make some sort of show out of it

If there's someone flirting with you at a gala (which happens a lot), he pulls you in for a dance and kissing you in the middle of the dance floor

You know what he's doing but you're not going to deny it are you

K= Kisses- How do they kiss/ where do they like to be kissed

He likes to be kissed everywhere

his shoulders, his abs, his collarbone, his neck, behind his ear, his cheek, the forehead, on the lips

He wants to spend time with you, even if you're not doing the same thing, and he wants his body touching yours somehow

M= Mornings- What are mornings with them like-

he's the kind of guy that sets an early alarm if he has to get up so that he can cuddle

mornings are basically always slow and warm and cozy

he likes to cuddle in the morning and have himself wrapped around you

sometimes before bed, he turns the AC colder so that when you wake up, you have to be close together to keep warm

if he wakes up before you, he'll either go back to sleep, or he plays with your hair until you wake up

N= Nicknames- What are their nicknames for you

doll

babe

love

darling

hottie

hot stuff

angel

love

O= On Patrol- What’s it like being on patrol with them

He likes to keep a close eye on you

You have to learn that it's not because he doesn't trust you, it's because he's always worried about the people he loves getting hurt or dying

he wants to make sure that at any moment something goes South, he's there to protect you

he flirts a lot on patrol

He also likes cracking jokes while he's busting skulls

it's one of the more morbid things he does

he likes to team up on patrol and always wants to know what you're doing and how you're doing

the two of you will often be seen near the bank building eating fast food perched on the ledge

he'll totally take you to his favorite gargoyle don't worry

P= PDA- What’s their stand on PDA

loves PDA, loves touching you

he's not gross about it like he's never making out with you in front of a crowd but he's always got an arm around you or a hand on your thigh

There are plenty of pap pictures of him with his arm wrapped around your shoulder while talking to you or glaring at something/ someone

if you're also famous for something, the paparazzi are always there but ten fold the intensity if you weren't famous

articles are always being written about Gotham's favorite couple

America's favorite couple if you're big enough

Q= Quirks- What are their quirks

he really likes to keep things really, really clean

usually your house is spotless because he's cleaning up after himself and you do the same

sometimes partners just get comfy and leave their crap everywhere

not Jason, he's clean as can be, not because he's uncomfortable around you, but because it's comforting for him to be in a non chaotic space

you know that he's stressed when he starts leaving things everywhere

R= Remember- Do they remember the details or the big picture

Jason remembers everything down to the final detail

there's like an always open compartment in his brain that filters and sorts the information about you and your relationship

he knows what you like and dislike, who you're beefing with at all times, what flavor candies are your favorite, what food you don't like, if there's a spice you don't like, he knows how you prefer your clothes and what color metal for jewelry you prefer, he knows how you like the recoil on your guns if you have any, he remembers the washing detergent that you use and the dryer sheet scent and brand

man knows everything

it's like that one kid that just knows random, niche information that no one expects them to know

he knows it allll

he's an intellectual, even if doesn't seem like it

he's an analytical person and needs someone that can have conversations with him and be on his level

Like you really don't have to be a straight A student because not all smart people are straight A students

I mean come on, Albert Einstein was reported to be a bad student and he's a genius

he also wants someone that puts some care into themselves

if you're running around without a care in the world, stepping into oncoming traffic because you don't care, it's going to stress him tf out

U= Understanding- How understanding of you are they

Jason is extremely understanding of life

I mean it's screwed him over a few times so he knows that it can get difficult

Jason also needs someone that is understanding of him

they understand why he maybe doesn't want to watch IT, or he sleeps a lot when he can, or he doesn't like loud noises and ticking sounds

Jason being understanding though doesn't mean that he's easy to use

Oh he understands alright

he understands that he hates the people that try and use him for gain

V= Value- What do they value most in a relationship

Jason values someone that will be just as enthusiastic about something as he is

He loves someone that wants to be around him and talk to him

he need someone that he can vent to without judgement

he needs someone that respects his personal boundaries (as any normal human is like)

he needs someone that can understand that even if sometimes he messes up, he's really, really trying to turn out better than he was told he would become

W= Work- Do they balance their work schedule well around your relationship 

he's pretty good at balancing work around your relationship

it helps if you're a vigilante too

sometimes things comes up and he has to skip a date or comes home extra late and he really, really hates it and feels so bad about it

he's sure to call and text you all the time to make sure that you never get stood up somewhere or that you know what he's doing and what his intentions are

He never wants you to feel like you're being left behind or put on the back burner

X= Xtra- Extra headcannons

He's got good taste when it comes to interior design

he got an apartment where he did to make sure that it would always have sunlight during the day

I'd say he's a handy person too

I mean he worked with Bruce his entire life and does mechanics, he can't be that bad at fixing a bad pipe or general maintenance

Y= Yearning- How much do they miss you when you’re apart

Jason hates LOATHS being without you

if you're out of town for a mission or something, he doesn't sleep well and he struggles to chill out

he's always on edge wondering if there's something wrong that needs fixing

whenever you're reunited, he's all over you

the "never leaving you again" mentality

he's not obsessive but he really, really misses you when you're gone

like his other half or one of his lungs is missing

Z) Zeal- How dedicated or enthusiastic about the relationship are they

when he's serious about something, he's all in it

he loves being around you and making leaps in your relationship

he values your company and everything that you have to offer and he just thinks that you're the greatest thing to exist since indoor plumbing

there's no cheating, no longing looks at someone else, there's nothing that indicates anything going on between him and someone else

He's just there for you and that's it

he is yours and yours only and that's how he prefers it to be

[carionto]

Huh? Nah, this doesn't need safety gear

It is horrifying what kinds of deadly activities Humans will engage with without even a mention of safety or precaution. Most alarmingly what their offspring dare to do.

Take, for example, cycling. Already, a vehicle that is literally as minimal in features as you can get, and requires the user to provide all balance. Lacking such an advanced inner ear, operating this device is nigh impossible for two thirds of the Galaxy. But their young manage to get the hang of it very quickly, and we're told it's a skill that once you learn it, you never forget. Even after decades, their "body remembers", which adds another layer of curiosity to how Human "muscle memory" functions and retains this other form of knowledge.

Once their children learn this skill, any skill really, they tend to experiment and go as far as they can with it. One time we saw a whole group of them riding around their school's outdoor gym field at nearly 35 km/h on the straights. I and several other delegates would quite literally die if one were to crash into us. And crash they did, we were shocked and panicked, but before we could alert anyone, the child simply brushed themselves off, stretched a little, spent MORE time in fact checking if their bike was fine, and then got right back on. Seemingly zero lessons learned as they crashed two more times within the next half hour.

As we left, a group of slightly older children on somewhat smaller but tougher looking bicycles with steel protrusions from the wheels. They seemed very energetic, so we followed them at a distance to a large open concrete park with strange geometric structures all around. Before we could question the purpose of this place, the kids were flying, their bikes were screeching, and we were terrified. Jumping off ramps and these half-cylinders, doing frankly impossible feats of acrobatics.

OH MY GOD ONE OF THEM LET GO OF THE BIKE MID JUMP!!!

Oh thank god, they caught it again before landing.

Why did they spin around before doing so though?

...

Stunts?

You... willfully endanger yourselves for... "s t y l e p o i n t s"

My hearts can't take it anymore today, please take me home.

Howdy, same sad anon from like 15 seconds ago/hj

More thoughts on the modern au, less sadness this time!

I feel like Athena would probably have a bike, cuz it's a form of transportation that's also athletic that doesn't rely on a motor or being directly on the road. She'd totally bike to work/school, and probably be willing to bike too long of a distance to avoid getting into a car. It's probably have a basket of some kind, and it'd probably have at least a few stickers, (courtesy of athrodite/area maybe? They'd totally get her like 20 stickers of owls and anything she's interested in whenever they walk into a store/gift shop) and I feel like ares is the kinda person to have a motorbike/dirt bike. It'd be fun if they just went out to race each other on some mountain trail every so often :] and part of the reason it'd be fun for them to both have bikes of some kind, is then you have an excuse to give them helmets that make sense in the modern day :3c it'd be funny if ares has the most intimidating looking helmet, and it has little pink heart stickers and stuff all over it cuz of athrodite <3

It'd be fun if Athena is always wearing a hat most of the time. Ive got autism (not technically diagnosed yet but its so obvious if you look at me for 5 seconds irl jdvsjsv) and I'm constantly wearing a hat whenever I leave the house because it helps lessen the sensory issues and it feels wrong to not have anything on my head. So it might be projection but I feel like Athena would also do this, and it's a good proxy for the whole never taking her helmet off thing. Personally I wear bucket hats when it's hot out, and beanies when it's cold, and I just have one in like every color. It'd be fun if she only takes her hat off when she's comfortable with a situation, or being vulnerable with her emotions, so basically, only in her apartment jdhsjsve. Just, I got to work, helmet off, hat on, I'm ready to go.

Gifted kid syndrome? Check ✅ aroace? Check ✅ autism? Check ✅ special interest in mythology? Check ✅ got bullied for being too smart and so stops talking about academic achievement In front of people as a safety mechanism? Check ✅ anon is projecting SO hard? C H E C K✅ ✅ ✅

I feel like Athena and athrodite bonding over clothes stuff would be fun. They don't talk much and just awkwardly stand next to each other whenever ares leaves the room, until dite rips a hole in her favorite dress or something, and thena just pulls out a sewing kit and fixes it, and then dite just becomes like, the willing recipient of any clothes thena makes. Athena starts making accessories for her, and sewing cool patches onto her bags/jackets, and suddenly they've become friends.

Athena and ares would probably still duel, it's just that now instead of using spears/swords, they're just hitting each other with those tubes you get from wrapping paper, or plastic lightsabers, or pillows or something. Siblings <3

I can see them enjoying renfaires and maybe conventions. Athena would totally make a really complicated and amazing costume and then hide in the back corner not talking to anyone the whole time :2

athena would probably love strategy games, turn based RPGs, and puzzle games, meanwhile ares likes stuff that's more like fps and real time games. They'd have an animal crossing save file together :) I have so many thoughts about viddy games but I won't share them here cuz this ask is longer than a CVS receipt and if I started talking about games then we'd be here for the next century. Tell me if you wanna know my thoughts about them :] (wearing a tee shirt that says "ask me about Splatoon" written in comic sans across the front)

If their apartment lets them have pets, it'd be fun if ares has a dog, cuz sacred animal. I don't know exactly what kind, but itd be good if it was a small dog with a decently long snout and scruffy looking hair, because then it could look a bit like a wolf. And the reason that's important is that then Athena could call it little wolf :∆. She'd probably only do it when alone, but it's fun :). I don't think that you're allowed to have an owl as a pet, so If Athena had one there's some options. 1, snake, cus sacred animal, and they're fun lil guys who don't need that much care, (take pity on Athenas 25 hour a day work schedule) she'd probably have a ball python. 2, some form of easy and legal form of bird, like pigeons or finches (I had society finches once, they were neat :>. The males like singing, so idk if they'd be allowed to keep those in an apartment tho) because closer to an owl, and all that. For most types of bird she'd need multiple tho, cuz girlie does not have enough time to bond with an animal with high social needs. 3, a cat, because owls are birds running cat software, and cats are cute. Athena does strike me as a cat person. 4, slightly more unhinged because no basis other than it's fun, rats. Same social issues as birds, so multiple rats, but rats are smart lil guys and also sometimes called pocket puppies cuz of how similar they act to dogs, so ares would prolly like them. Even if Athena didn't have a pet herself, I can see her being the kinda person to go out and befriend the strays. Go and feed the ducks at the park peas, feed the crows and pigeons, feed stray cats, etc. girl goes up to the roof of their apartment with a handful of oats and birdseed and every pigeon in the zip code arrives immediately. Massive flock of birds. Another thing for people to bully her about ig. If she's got a pet it'd be fun for their name to be a reference to Odysseus somehow :V

Anyways, that was a lot and I spent like 20 mins writing this, sorry it's so long ':D. I don't say a word to anyone and then I see something that's interesting and never shut up. I've yapped for long enough, feel free to use any of these ideas you'd like, or entirely disregard this ask if you wish. If you wanna hear more then lmk cuz I still got ideas :P! I always feel kinda weird sharing thoughts like this ,:\ so it's nice to know I'm not bothering someone by doing it. I'm on anon cuz I'm shy and being perceived makes me crumple up into a ball like tinfoil lmao

-🌻 (I'll sign off any more asks I make with a sunflower emoji so I'm recognizable, maybe in the future I'll wanna ask properly with my blog, but not rn. ':∆. I mean, not like it'd be hard to tell it's me, you could probably tell from the length and the fact that I use emotions every 2 seconds but still ':] )

hiiii I'm so lateee

yay loreee

ooh Athena biking places is so smart I love it! I can very much see her bike even when it's snowing and freezing her fingers off bc "Busses suck, leave me alone Ares" (will i do angst with this, ofc I will :)) ooh ares would be a motorbike kinda dude... gotta think if I want him to have both a motorbike and a car... otherwise I like him having a dirtbike and that being their shared hobby Also yes Aph would buy stickers and yes Ares would let her put them anywhere and honestly? Athena would too bc she's polite like that, though she would be quite puzzled why Aphrodite is nice to her.

oooh the hat thing is super interesting actually. I def want her to wear earbuds like all the time unless she's relaxed at home or has to listen to something important bc she's sensitive to sound and bc it's like a "leave me alone" sign for other people.

Hehe I just had a thought about Ares bringing Aphrodite over for the first time, calls for Athena, she comes out of her room and is like "Uh... hi?" and then later is like "Ares wtf you're supposed to warn me ahead when you bring people over!" and he's like very sheepishly "But you would have disappeared!" and she's like "YES, that is literally the point of the warning!" They're a mess I love them.

dw anon, we are in the projection room together here lmao

awwww how cutteeeee. You just know Athena stood there contemplating whether she should offer it for a long moment bc my girl is shy.

yeah no argument the paper tube fight is so canon. SIBLINGS

look here anon, there is no reason to make Athena more like me she is already basically me anyway /lh

shshshs so what about Splatoon? (I have no idea about videogames help)

aww pets :D I do see Ares wanting a dog for sure, though I'm kinda drawn to letting them have a cat (projection heresay, Tasha wants a cat so bad) bc they're both so busy and might struggle to get it enough movement. Jury is still out on that one, but thank you for the ideas. Also, the stray thing is so canon, it even has a little plotpoint attached to it. Also also, apartment roof sounds dope i kinda want to incorporate that now.

no no, thank you for so many ideas this is so fun :D I love to read them! You're def not bothering me, never worry about that <33

How to Choose the Best Electric Mountain Bike for Any Terrain

Electric mountain bikes (e-MTBs) have revolutionized the cycling industry by providing extra power for conquering challenging terrains while still maintaining the thrill of traditional mountain biking. Whether you are an experienced rider looking to tackle extreme trails or a beginner seeking an easier way to explore nature, selecting the right electric mountain bike is crucial. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you choose the best e-MTB for any terrain.

1. Determine Your Riding Needs

Before purchasing an electric mountain bike, consider how and where you plan to ride. Are you looking for a bike for steep mountain trails, cross-country adventures, or a mix of different terrains? Identifying your specific riding needs will help you choose a bike with the right features, including motor power, battery capacity, and suspension type.

2. Consider the Motor Type and Power

E-MTBs come with different motor types, mainly mid-drive and hub-drive motors. Mid-drive motors, located at the bike’s bottom bracket, provide better balance and efficiency, making them ideal for rough terrains and steep climbs. Hub-drive motors, found in the wheel hub, are generally more affordable but may not offer the same level of performance on technical trails. Motor power, measured in watts, typically ranges from 250W to 750W. A higher-wattage motor delivers more torque, which is beneficial for uphill rides and rugged terrains.

3. Battery Life and Range

The battery capacity determines how far you can ride before needing a recharge. Most e-MTBs come with lithium-ion batteries ranging from 400Wh to 700Wh. If you plan on long-distance rides or riding on power-draining terrains such as steep hills, opt for a higher-capacity battery. Additionally, check the charging time and whether the battery is removable for convenient charging.

4. Suspension System

A good suspension system enhances ride comfort and control. There are two primary types:

Hardtail e-MTBs: These have suspension only in the front fork, making them lightweight and ideal for smoother trails and cross-country rides.

Full-suspension e-MTBs: Equipped with both front and rear suspension, these bikes offer superior shock absorption, making them suitable for rocky and technical trails.

5. Frame Material and Design

The frame material impacts the bike’s weight, durability, and overall performance. Aluminum frames are common due to their balance between weight and strength. Carbon fiber frames are lighter and provide better vibration damping, but they tend to be more expensive. Choose a frame design that offers a comfortable riding position suited to your body type and riding style.

6. Wheel Size and Tire Type

Electric mountain bikes generally come with 27.5-inch or 29-inch wheels. 27.5-inch wheels provide better maneuverability, making them ideal for technical trails, while 29-inch wheels roll over obstacles more smoothly, providing better stability on rough terrains. Fat tires offer extra traction, which is beneficial for sandy, snowy, or muddy trails.

7. Braking System

A reliable braking system is essential for safety, especially when riding on steep or wet terrains. Hydraulic disc brakes are preferred over mechanical disc brakes as they offer better stopping power and modulation, ensuring control in challenging conditions.

8. Weight and Portability

Since electric mountain bikes come with a motor and battery, they are heavier than traditional mountain bikes. If you plan to transport your bike frequently, consider a lightweight model or one with a removable battery to make it easier to carry.

9. Additional Features

Modern e-MTBs come with extra features such as smart displays, integrated lighting, GPS tracking, and smartphone connectivity. These features can enhance your riding experience and provide valuable insights into battery status, speed, and terrain navigation.

Conclusion

Selecting the best electric mountain bike requires careful consideration of factors like motor power, battery life, suspension, and wheel size. By understanding your riding needs and terrain preferences, you can find an e-MTB that delivers performance, comfort, and durability. At Yasyas.com, we offer a wide range of high-quality electric mountain bikes designed for all types of terrains. Whether you're an adventure seeker or a casual rider, Yasyas is your go-to destination for finding the perfect e-MTB.

Revolutionizing Battery Management for Electric Mobility

The rise of electric mobility is transforming how we move, work, and live. From electric vehicles (EVs) zipping through city streets to e-bikes powering last-mile commutes, the shift toward sustainable transportation is undeniable. At the heart of this revolution lies a critical component: the battery. As the lifeblood of electric mobility, batteries determine range, performance, and longevity—but they’re also the bottleneck. Enter the next frontier: revolutionizing battery management systems (BMS) to unlock the full potential of electric mobility.

The Battery Challenge

Batteries, particularly lithium-ion ones, are marvels of modern engineering. They store energy efficiently and power everything from sleek Teslas to warehouse robots. Yet, they come with challenges. Overcharging, overheating, and uneven cell degradation can shorten their lifespan, reduce efficiency, and, in rare cases, lead to safety hazards. For electric mobility to scale—whether for personal EVs, fleet vehicles, or micromobility solutions—these issues must be addressed head-on.

Traditional battery management systems monitor voltage, temperature, and charge levels to keep things running smoothly. But as the demand for longer range, faster charging, and greener solutions grows, these legacy systems are showing their limits. The future of electric mobility hinges on smarter, more adaptive battery management.

The Next Generation of Battery Management

So, what does “revolutionizing” battery management look like? It’s a blend of cutting-edge technology, data-driven insights, and forward-thinking design. Here are the key innovations driving this transformation:

AI-Powered Optimization Artificial intelligence is stepping in to make BMS smarter. By analyzing real-time data—think cell health, driving patterns, and environmental conditions—AI can predict and adjust battery performance dynamically. This means less wear, better efficiency, and a longer lifespan. Imagine an EV that learns your commute and optimizes energy use to squeeze out an extra few miles.

Advanced Cell Balancing Not all battery cells age equally. Some degrade faster due to manufacturing variances or usage patterns, dragging down overall performance. Next-gen BMS uses sophisticated algorithms to redistribute energy across cells, ensuring uniform wear and maximizing capacity. This could mean the difference between a battery lasting five years versus ten.

Thermal Management Breakthroughs Heat is a battery’s worst enemy. Innovative cooling systems—like liquid cooling or phase-change materials—are being integrated into BMS to keep temperatures in check. This not only boosts safety but also enables faster charging without compromising longevity. Picture plugging in your EV and hitting 80% charge in 15 minutes, stress-free.

Wireless and Cloud Connectivity Modern BMS isn’t just about what’s under the hood—it’s connected. Wireless diagnostics and cloud-based monitoring allow manufacturers and users to track battery health remotely. Got a fleet of delivery vans? A centralized system could flag a struggling battery before it fails, minimizing downtime and costs.

Sustainability Through Second-Life Applications What happens when an EV battery reaches the end of its road-worthy life? A revolutionized BMS can assess remaining capacity and repurpose it for less demanding roles—like grid storage or powering homes. This circular approach reduces waste and aligns electric mobility with a greener future.

Why It Matters

The stakes are high. By 2030, global EV sales are projected to soar, with millions of batteries hitting the streets. A robust BMS isn’t just a technical upgrade—it’s a game-changer for affordability, reliability, and environmental impact. Consumers get longer-lasting vehicles with fewer repair headaches. Businesses gain efficient fleets that don’t break the bank. And the planet benefits from reduced emissions and smarter resource use.

Take micromobility as an example. Electric scooters and bikes are flooding urban landscapes, but their batteries often falter under heavy use. A revolutionized BMS could extend their range and durability, making them a viable alternative to cars for short trips—and easing traffic congestion in the process.

The Road Ahead

We’re already seeing pioneers push the envelope. Companies like Tesla and Rivian embed sophisticated BMS into their vehicles, while startups explore modular designs for swappable batteries. Research into solid-state batteries promises even greater leaps, with BMS evolving to handle higher energy densities and faster charge cycles.

But challenges remain. Scaling these innovations requires investment, standardization, and collaboration across industries. Governments can help by incentivizing R&D, while manufacturers must prioritize open-source frameworks to avoid a fragmented ecosystem.

Conclusion

Battery management isn’t the flashiest part of electric mobility, but it’s the unsung hero. Revolutionizing it means more than tweaking a few algorithms—it’s about reimagining how we power the future. As AI, connectivity, and sustainable design converge, BMS is poised to drive electric mobility further, faster, and greener than ever before. The road to a fully electrified world starts here—one optimized battery at a time. For more information battery management system for electric vehicle

Biking requires upkeep, such as checking the controller wattage for 1800w motors, cycle tyre pressure chart, and disk vs. rim brakes.

Which One is Right for You?

Ultimately, the choice between biking and running depends on your personal goals, lifestyle, and physical condition.

aIf you want a low-impact exercise that covers long distances, biking is the winner.

If you prefer a simple, calorie-burning workout, running is ideal.

If you're looking for a fast and fun commute, an e bike clearance deal might be the best option.

If you have a dog and want to take them along, a dog carrier bike or doggie bike setup is great for biking, while running with a leash works too.

No matter which activity you choose, both biking and running can improve your fitness, mental health, and overall well-being. So, whether you're hitting the trails with a duro electric bike or lacing up your running shoes, the most important thing is to keep moving!

Final Thoughts

Both biking and running have their unique advantages. If you're unsure which one to commit to, why not try both? Whether you're looking at an e bike controller upgrade, checking out Denver ebike rebate options, or simply wondering do lower psi rated bike tires give better ride, the key is to stay active and enjoy the ride—or the run!
