American here: Shit, I'd like to see our own veterans get the care and benefits they're supposed to be entitled to.
Some vets have been getting screwed over for literal decades after being forced to kill, suffer injury, psychological damage, lose good friends, and regularly risk death all supposedly for our country.

Publicly traded corporations are great at ruining shit people made in the blind pursuit of profit so the old ways of checking out reviews and reddit posts don't really work so well anymore.

Popular among teenagers, the large electric bikes have triggered ‘numerous complaints’ to councils as fears grow for the safety of riders and pedestrians
It always seemed weird to me that it's such a problem over there. I ride an electric fatbike in the US sometimes but I make a point not to ride like an asshole, most other riders seem to be reasonably courteous on paths and streets.
Low-speed, electrified, increasingly autonomous vehicles are going to be the norm, not the outlier. Standardized roro boxes and cargo trikes are part of it.
Nice, he should definitely add solar panels on the roof.
Also, I love that he has a god damn commercial popcorn maker and hotdog warmer in that thing. I bet if you set up at a trail head people would love it!
If you're still looking for a decent bicycle helmet, I'd recommend Bell or Giro. Ideally, get something that's MIPS rated, but they can be a little pricier.
That's awesome, good job! Schwinn is kind of weird, from what I've read they do still actually make some good stuff but the majority of it is big box store garbage assembled by underpaid, overworked stock clerks. Definitely not what they used to be though.

Cars have ebikes handily beat. Same for motorcycles.
UK ebikes seem like kind of a sub-par transport for a criminal who needs to get away quickly now that I think about it... Aren't they limited to like 250 watts too?
The LBS suggestions are well founded but it looks like that might be pretty tough for you. Any chance you have an REI closer by [email protected]? Their coop bikes can be pretty good. I think they might also sell Specialized, which is a solid brand.
I've definitely seen people do dumb shit on regular bicycles plenty of times, but yeah, I suppose it is more frequent on ebikes. Where I live, scooters seem to be the most frequent offenders of doing dumb shit though. I figure it's because they're more popular among younger people who just do dumb shit because they're young (I know I did, kind of amazed I didn't die).
Ebikes with a throttle are still ebikes, in the US the are specifically listed as class 2 ebikes. I get what you're saying but ebike definitions get a little blurred depending on where you're talking about.
