You get on a regular bike and just sit there ringing the bell wondering what's wrong with the thumb throttle.

You get on a regular bike and just sit there ringing the bell wondering what's wrong with the thumb throttle.

Now that is classic.


How about when your chain comes off and you dont even notice.

 

[Canis Lupus]

...your sweetheart moves out, takes all her stuff, and all you see is more room for e bikes.

Funny

You get on a regular bike and just sit there ringing the bell wondering what's wrong with the thumb throttle.

Funnier!

..."unleaded" still refers to your power source, but not to a liquid.

You get on a regular bike and just sit there ringing the bell wondering what's wrong with the thumb throttle.

Or when you don't even have a battery or controller on the bike but still keep flicking the throttle thinking it is going to do something (did that today a lot; wishful thinking I guess!)

when your batteries are mistakened as some type of explosives. ill say that because ive been told that several times about my konion pack...lol

No one can see my pack(s) in my cargo pod, but if they could, I'd probably get comments (or stopped at gunpoint by paranoid types) with this one:

You know you're an ebiker when you ride the most efficient form of transportation known to man.

Sorry it's not funny, but I love to state this truth at every opportunity.

How about:

when gliders stop to ask you how to reduce their watts/km.

Eh?

You go looking for hills

 

[johnrobholmes]

...when you stop noticing hills.

 

[Whiplash]

....you see a big grass covered wash and think...I could jump out the other side of that!

 

[beast775]

all electrical appliances in the curbside trash look like good e bike wire.

 

[Ykick]

Surely this one's been mentioned but I can't find it - "scouting for power outlets..."

My bank has one by the door so if it's a long line I just plug-in for a few watt/minutes. I don't mind the wait since they're paying me in electricity for the delay. Envision the day when people hold signs saying "Will work for electricity!"

 

[Icewrench]

...you want to go to the next death race and pass loud stinky gassers.

 

[Whiplash]

Already going to happen!

....when you walk into your garage to take your dirtbike out and grab your bicycle instead!

 

[Whiplash]

.....when you have an off road race track in the city park all setup and still don't piss anyone off....unless you run em over!

 

[amberwolf]

Envision the day when people hold signs saying "Will work for electricity!"

"Will trade calories for electrons!"
Or where groups of relatives work for each other, they can trade in family joules. :lol:

How about when your chain comes off and you dont even notice.

Yeah, that's happened to me before... 8)

You know you're an Ebiker when your portable tool kit includes Anderson connectors.

When the only people cooler than you are Methods, Dr. BAss and LFP !!!!!

The first thing you do in the morning is check speedpost!!!

 

[kriskros]

[GrayKard]

You know you're an Ebiker when you look for longer routes.

 

[SoSauty]

the weather forcast is 100+, you put 'blue ice packs' in both cargo pockets as biker's air conditioning :wink:

 

[John in CR]

You know your a E-Biker when .... you're trying to figure out how to join the ebike version of the mile high club.

 

[drewdiller]

...you look at a bike with really long chainstays, and instead of thinking, "That must be heavier and handle more slowly than normal", you think, "Hey, I can fit another battery in that space."

 

[LI-ghtcycle]

.... you look at that "old school" mt bike and get excited because it's NOT nice light aluminum, but solid chromoly steel because you know it will take the 60+ lbs of E-Bike kit & battery no problem, and STILL only be 90lbs! :lol:
