artist of the abstract, geometric + minimal. come hang out /mbranson

yeah i feel you, have been watching them evolve over the years with curiosity but never felt it was time til recently. there are more compact and powerful options now that make sense to be a supplement to my usual gravel ride for those times when i just wanna do a couple miles to the grocery + errands or out for a meal in a hilly part of the city.

tbh i've never loved wearing my street wear on my gravel bike in a more aggressive riding geometry (commuted for many years and was always changing clothes0 -- having something stable with fat tires and a more upright ride is a sweet spot + e-assist means i can make it up some hills and not be a sweaty mess when i arrive. 😅 (so vanity?)

here's the one i'm eyeing...

I like it when it makes me feel something.

I would love to know more about intended use case and stuff. As a Dutch guy and ex cyclist I have feelings about hem. But they can be super great and definitely have their place!

they're finally small enough and powerful enough to make sense as a use case that's different from my primary gravel bike. basically an electric moped/scooter alternative that can stand in for my car for more all around city excursions and errands. haven't wanted a 'cargo' e-bike necessarily and now they've started to shrink those build styles to be a compact option that makes sense for my needs. plus, they're super fun to ride!

tis true. feels like the last year has seen a larger release of smaller and more powerful options to choose from that just make more sense for my use case.

boxing is my art 🥊 
i like to take food pics  

i've ridden them and find them fun, but want the stability and ability to pedal / use the bike lane still.
