Ditch the Traffic  ,Ride a High-Speed Electric Bike to Work

Are you tired of sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic every morning? Do you wish you could bypass the congestion, reduce your commute time, and make your journey to work more enjoyable? If so, a High Speed Electric Bike might be the perfect solution. As urban areas become increasingly crowded, commuters are looking for alternative transportation options that are efficient, cost-effective, and eco-friendly. High-speed electric bikes offer a seamless way to get to work without the hassle of traditional commuting methods.

The Growing Popularity of Electric Bikes

Electric bikes have gained significant traction worldwide due to their convenience and sustainability. Many city dwellers are ditching their cars and opting for e-bikes as their primary mode of transportation. Unlike conventional bicycles, e-bikes come with a motorized boost, making it easier to navigate hilly terrains and cover long distances with minimal effort. High Speed Electric Bike, in particular, can reach speeds of 28-35 mph, allowing riders to keep up with urban traffic and reach their destinations faster.

Benefits of Riding a High-Speed Electric Bike to Work

1. Beat the Traffic

One of the biggest advantages of using a High Speed Electric Bike is the ability to weave through traffic and use bike lanes, reducing overall commute time. Unlike cars, which are often stuck in gridlock, e-bikes allow riders to take alternate routes and avoid congested streets.

2. Save Money on Fuel and Parking

Gas prices continue to rise, making daily car commutes expensive. Electric bikes eliminate fuel costs altogether. Charging an e-bike battery costs just a few cents per charge, making it an affordable transportation option. Additionally, many cities offer free or low-cost bike parking, helping commuters save even more money.

3. Eco-Friendly Transportation

Switching to a High Speed Electric Bike significantly reduces your carbon footprint. Unlike cars, which produce harmful emissions, e-bikes operate on battery power and produce zero tailpipe emissions. By choosing an e-bike over a car, you contribute to cleaner air and a healthier environment.

4. Health Benefits

While High Speed Electric Bike have motor assistance, they still require pedaling, providing a moderate workout. Regular cycling helps improve cardiovascular health, strengthens muscles, and enhances overall fitness levels. Commuting by e-bike is an excellent way to integrate physical activity into your daily routine.

5. Less Stress, More Enjoyment

Sitting in traffic, dealing with road rage, and worrying about parking can make commuting stressful. E-biking offers a more relaxed and enjoyable experience. Riders can take scenic routes, breathe in fresh air, and arrive at work feeling refreshed rather than frustrated.

6. Avoid Public Transportation Hassles

Public transportation can be unreliable, overcrowded, and subject to delays. With a High Speed Electric Bike you don’t have to depend on bus or train schedules. You have the freedom to travel at your convenience and maintain control over your commute.

Choosing the Right High-Speed Electric Bike

1. Consider the Speed and Range

When selecting an e-bike for commuting, look for models that offer a speed of at least 28 mph and a battery range that covers your daily commute. The longer the battery life, the less frequently you’ll need to recharge.

2. Check for Safety Features

Safety should always be a priority. Choose an e-bike equipped with reliable brakes, LED lights, reflectors, and a sturdy frame. A helmet and Electric E Bike clothing are also essential for safe commuting.

3. Comfort and Ergonomics

Since you’ll be riding to work regularly, ensure your e-bike provides a comfortable ride. Look for features like an adjustable seat, ergonomic handlebars, and suspension systems that absorb shocks from uneven roads.

4. Battery and Charging Time

The efficiency of your e-bike largely depends on its battery. Opt for a lithium-ion battery with fast-charging capabilities so you can recharge quickly at home or work. A removable battery is an added advantage as it allows for easy charging.

Tips for a Smooth E-Bike Commute

1. Plan Your Route

Before hitting the road, map out the safest and most efficient route to your workplace. Many cities have designated bike lanes and paths that make commuting easier and safer.

2. Dress for the Ride

Wear weather-appropriate clothing and invest in a Good quality raincoat or windproof jacket for unpredictable weather conditions. Proper footwear is also essential for a secure grip on the pedals.

3. Charge Your Battery

Make it a habit to charge your e-bike battery overnight so it’s fully powered for your morning commute. Carry a charger if you need to top up at work.

4. Follow Traffic Rules

E-bike riders should adhere to traffic signals, use hand signals for turning, and stay alert to other vehicles and pedestrians. Riding responsibly ensures a safe journey for everyone on the road.

5. Secure Your Bike

Invest in a sturdy lock to prevent theft. If possible, park your e-bike in a designated bike rack or a secure area at your workplace.

Conclusion

Riding an Electric Vehicle to work is a game-changer for modern commuters. It offers a practical, economical, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional transportation. By making the switch, you can avoid traffic jams, save money, stay active, and enjoy a stress-free commute every day. Whether you’re looking for efficiency, sustainability, or simply a more enjoyable way to travel, a high-speed electric bike is an excellent choice. So, ditch the traffic, hop on an e-bike, and experience the future of commuting today!

After a boring race everyone screams for smaller cars. Today, in the Monaco post race interviews, some drivers suggested smaller cars may be of benefit. Is there a reason the cars are still this big? Even the 2026 cars are only marginally smaller, when the "we need smaller cars" narrative seems to be close to a decade old by now. Is the hybrid era simply not able to fit cars that aren't this size?

Also, I'd love to hear your opinion on whether smaller cars will actually fix anything, if you have one.

The cars are the size they are because of safety (predominantly), the fact that they have to be able to carry 100kg of fuel (no refuelling), and aerodynamics

This graph shows the length and width of F1 cars from 1950 to 2022

The current F1 cars are wider than my road car (Hyundai i10 - a compact car) but so have all of the cars since the 60s

To have cars small enough to race around Monaco you’d need 1970s era cars, even in the 1980s Piquet described the track as riding a bike in your living room, and other drivers in the 70s and 80s mentioned that in order to win in Monaco you just have to stay in the middle of the track (and block)

Below is the number of overtakes for each Monaco GP from 1984 to 2024 compared to the average number of overtakes per race for that season (the colour coded blocks are the different engine regulations)

There are some years where Monaco had more overtakes than the average number of overtakes per race whether that’s due to weather or incidents, but on average each Monaco GP has had less than half of the average number of overtakes per race for each season.

The turbo hybrid era has had less overtakes than previous regulatory periods but I don’t think that’s due to car size so much as car speed, honestly modern F1 cars more so than being too big for Monaco, they are too fast. The fastest lap of the race was a 1:13.221 and most drivers fastest laps were around 1:14, in comparison the older cars have much slower lap times, the fastest lap in 1993 was 1:23.604, 10 seconds slower.

This is also why Formula E typically have exciting races around Monaco despite their cars being only slightly shorter and narrower than F1 cars, their lap times around Monaco are around 15-20 seconds a lap slower, specifically the cornering speeds are lower which means that a driver spends more time in the corners aiding the opportunities for a lunge or an overtake.

Reducing the size won’t fix things unless they got go karts out there, the best way to improve overtaking opportunities is to either reduce the grip (wet races have higher overtaking numbers), give the cars worse brakes (so they have to slow more before the corner), increase degradation on tyres

Size isn’t the problem, as we’ve seen with wet races around Monaco and the one off random theatrics (and what we’ve seen from FE) it’s possible to overtake, even with cars nearly 2m wide, narrower cars wouldn’t be a magical fix, they would still need help. Formula E can overtake because of the slower speeds, more nimble cars and less downforce and grip, so it’s a matter of finding a balancing act.

I just saw a well-intended post saying that Luigi must be set up because they have footage of suspect leaving hostel at 5:34 and outside Hilton at just 7 minutes later 5:41 and people have "proved" that this is impossible - and they're citing biking times on maps which shows a fastest time of 23 minutes with routes like this:

I've seen other people claim that they're familiar with biking in UWS and this sort of speed is impossible, but I suspect these are people who have only ridden CitiBikes e-bikes which max out around 12 mph and this route would still take around 15 mins (this route would also likely require multiple stops at traffic lights).

Listen, maybe he was set up, but 7 minutes from USW to Hilton midtown is 100% doable (especially before 6am).

I've biked in NYC for 12 years now and from the UWS hostel (I know the area well, I go to grocery store a couple blocks away) you'd cross over to Central Park (which is quiet road even during the day and would probably be empty at 5:30am), continue on bike lane for 4 blocks to enter Central Park at 100th st, then bike all the way down to the 6th ave exit of Central Park where its 4 blocks until Hilton.

That's 3.4 miles, and would include 4 sets of traffic lights outside the park (inside the park you just ignore them - especially at 5:30 am when there will just be runners and other cyclists).

On a Class 3 e-bike that does 28 miles per hour that's 7 minutes and 18 seconds which is well within margin of error of different cameras being a little bit out of sync etc.

Google Maps etc shows fastest time as 23 minutes biking because they use a biking speed of 8 miles per hour, and their routing algorithm doesn't know enough about biking in NYC to plan optimal routes.

I just looked up some tracking of me biking in Central Park, and my top average speed for a mile was 18 mph (probably on a downhill section) and that's me on a single speed fixed gear bike. Class 3 pedal assist e-bikes have a speed of 28 mph, some e-bikes have speeds 30-50 mph. NYC does only allows e-bike speeds up to 25 mph but there are a lot of people who use these faster e-bikes.

Where do the characters get the stuff they use In the Mario Kart Games from? And did the characters design the tracks that have their names?

I’m not quite sure what stuff you’re specifically referring to, but regardless, the answer is quite complicated. Assuming you’re talking about Karts and Items, the answer is “various places”.

Back in Super Mario Kart, while Mario was likely the one who organised, funded or at least initially proposed the event, Lakitu was the coordinator of the event, and ran the tracks. In the beginning they had more conservative rules surrounding the vehicles in use on the courses:

Hi everybody! Thanks for dropping by the Super Mario Kart race track. My name is Lakitu, I run this track. If you need my help, I'll be around. We race one seater, metal pipe frame go carts here. There are two engine sizes to choose from: 50cc or 100cc.

[Source: INTRODUCTION, Page 2, Instruction Booklet of Super Mario Kart, September 1992]

Mario Kart stated out a a fun recreational event with a handful of trophies. That’s the main reason the characters take part, and it has been the reason since the very beginning, in Super Mario Kart. Each one of the characters is competing due to their connection to Mario.

An adorable little kart racetrack has been built in the Mario world! Mario and his happy-go-lucky friends have gotten so enthusiastic about kart racing that they're already causing a ruckus! Even now, they're smack in the middle of a race! Let's take a quick peek at how it's going, shall we? Oh, it's just about to start! Even the usually cute characters look a little tense. Let's watch Mario and friends fight hard!

[Source: Intro, Japanese Store Promo for Super Mario Kart, August 1992]

However, in the years since it has become the Mushroom Kingdom’s premiere racing event and grown significantly. Racers from various Kingdoms take part resulting in an incredibly diverse audience. Mario Kart now has dozens of sponsors for each Grand Prix, extended tournaments, its own television network, branded tracks and inter-dimensional courses and guest racers.

Mario Kart 64 was the first major step in this direction, but Mario Kart: Double Dash!! brought things even further. From its manual:

THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM’S PREMIER RACING EVENT IS BACK! HOWEVER, THERE’S BEEN ONE MAJOR CHANGE TO THE RULES OF THE ROAD… THERE ARE NOW TWO RIDERS PER KART! NOW, RIDERS FROM THROUGHOUT THE LAND HAVE COME TOGETHER NO TEST THEIR DRIVING SKILLS. WHICH PAIR WILL PROVE THE FASTEST?

[Source: The Double Dash Grand Prix!, Page 6, Instruction Booklet of Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, November 2003]

When Mario Kart started out, standard Pipe Frames were the only legal builds for the Mario GP. These models were likely built by Mario and his friends themselves.

However, with Mario Kart: Double Dash!! the Pipe Frames were retired in favour of a variety of Karts. Many of these karts were custom-made or modified pre-existing cars. Take Luigi's kart of choice in Mario Kart DS, for example: the Poltergust 4000. This Kart is part of the Poltergust series, a line of inventions created by Professor E. Gadd.

Another pair of examples are the Wario Car, which Wario makes use of in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, and the Wario Bike, which Wario makes use of in Mario Kart Wii. These are Wario's personal car and bike, which he uses in the Wario Land and WarioWare titles, and both were built by Wario's friend Dr. Crygor:

I AM DR. CRYGOR, THE GENIUS SCHOLAR. OTHERS HAVE SAID A "DANGEROUS" SCHOLAR, BUT I PAY NO MIND TO THEIR OPINIONS. MY LABORATORY IS SET UP TO FURTHER MY EXPERIMENTS IN REALITY GAMES. FEEL FREE TO STOP BY AND CONTRIBUTE TO MY RESEARCH. IT IS QUITE FUN. DID YOU KNOW THAT I WAS THE ONE WHO CREATED WARIO'S CAR? WHAT? YOU DO NOT KNOW? DO YOUR RESEARCH!

[Source: The Laboratory Authority - Dr. Crygor, Page 21, Instruction Booklet of WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, May 2003]

This odd genius lives in seclusion. He built Wario’s bike. Mona’s moped, Kat’s sword, and Jimmy’s cell phone. He wears a cryogenic suit that doesn’t protect his head.

[Source: Dr. Crygor's character profile, WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!, April 2004]

The Standard Kart series of builds was then introduced as a replacement for the Pipe Frame in Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 and carried into tournaments from Mario Kart DS onwards. As a result of this, in later tournaments, custom or pre-existing vehicles were allowed to enter the tournament upon being modified to be legal for the Grand Prix. The Pipe Frames did eventually return in tournaments from Mario Kart 7 onwards, which featured more in-depth kart customisation.

Speaking of which, the Mario Kart events are sponsored by other brands Mario owns, such as Mario Motors, Mario Star, etc. These sponsors, as well as the many others not otherwise connected to Mario, likely fund the events and even provide them with parts and supplies.

It stands to reason that Mushroom Piston Engines provides engines, Fuzzy Battery provides batteries, Bob-omb Plugs provides spark plugs, Dream Gliders provides gliders, 1-Up Fuel provides fuel, Bowser Oil provides oil, 100% Organic Antifreeze provides antifreeze, etc.

Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 makes reference to a Grand Prix Committee, which sends letters to Cup winners to invite them to the Cup’s special Challenge stage. Their letters are closed with an “M” stamped seal. This would imply Mario is at least on this committee, if not the head of it. This is presumably the committee that organises the events and decides which participants to invite, what items will be used, etc.

As mentioned previously, all of the participants either know Mario directly or have connections to people who know Mario. The Super Mario Kart manual seems to call attention to how each of the participant racers connect to Mario specifically.

MARIO & LUIGI The Mario Brothers have pretty much the same abilities in cart driving. Mario and Luigi have had a friendly rivalry that goes back to their childhood.

[Source: THE 8 CART DRIVERS, Page 21, Instruction Booklet of Super Mario Kart, September 1992]

PRINCESS & YOSHI At first, you might think that The Princess and Yoshi would have nothing in common (except their fondness for Mario).

[Source: THE 8 CART DRIVERS, Page 22, Instruction Booklet of Super Mario Kart, September 1992]

BOWSER & DONKEY KONG JR. These two drivers have long been Mario's arch enemies.

[Source: THE 8 CART DRIVERS, Page 23, Instruction Booklet of Super Mario Kart, September 1992]

While Toad and Koopa Troopa's descriptions don't specifically connect them to Mario, Toad is of course a long-time friend of Mario and servant to Peach, while Koopa Troopa is a minion of Bowser:

Usually a faithful underling of Bowser, [Koopa Troopa] shows even the big boss no mercy during a race.

[Source: Characters and Special Items, Page 20, Instruction Booklet of Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, November 2003]

Koopa Troopa, of the Turtle Tribe. Usually one of Bowser's minions, but as far as races go, it's a different story!?

[Source: Characters, Mario Kart Wii, Nintendo Co., Ltd. website]

In short, Mario is what brings them all together - and in turn they each bring their own special items. The iconic Banana Peels thrown by racers in the Mario Kart series are actually from the Kong's Banana Hoard on Donkey Kong Island, having originally been brought to the races by Donkey Kong Jr. back in Super Mario Kart:

Because of Donkey Kong Jr.! He likes bananas, and the peels are slippery, so they got the okay.

[Source: Tadashi Sugiyama, Director and C.G. Designer of Super Mario Kart, Nintendo Classic Mini: SNES developer interview – Volume 4: Super Mario Kart, September 2017]

In the original game, the only CPU-controlled character who throws banana peels is Donkey Kong Jr., which was a way to characterise the characters.

[Source: Hideki Konno, Director of Super Mario Kart, Nintendo Classic Mini: SNES developer interview – Volume 4: Super Mario Kart, September 2017]

Despite Donkey Kong Jr. not appearing in tournaments after Super Mario Kart, it seems his son, the current Donkey Kong, continued to supply Bananas from Mario Kart 64 onwards. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong even brought along some Giant Bananas in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Mario Kart: Arcade GP 2 and Mario Kart Tour:

Special Item GIANT BANANA Only DK and Diddy know where these monstrous fruit can be found.

[Source: Characters and Special Items, Page 19, Instruction Booklet of Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, November 2003] From this we can speculate about the origins of other items. Shells are common clothing/armour worn by Koopas, but seeing as the shells in Mario Kart are standard Koopa Troopa Shells, it stands to reason that the Koopa Troopa racer or perhaps Bowser brought the Red Shells and Green Shells originally used in Super Mario Kart.

These shells are worn by Koopa Troopas, both within and outside of Bowser's Army. We can even see one of Bowser's Airships in Super Mario Galaxy equipped with a shell dispenser:

The Green Shells and Red Shells even function how you'd expect - with Green Shells flying straight forward and Red Shells heading towards the nearest target!

However, with the expansion of Mario Kart in later titles the shells, which are mass-produced, appear to be provided by a company, with sponsors for "Green Shell Strike Equipment" and "Red Shell Strike Equipment" making appearances:

Koopa Troopa and Koopa Paratroopa seem to have their own supply in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!:

Special Items TRIPLE SHELLS (GREEN / RED) Don't let Koopa and Paratroopa worry about not having enough shells.

[Source: Characters and Special Items, Page 20, Instruction Booklet of Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, November 2003]

Bowser also provides his own shells for the tournaments in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Mario Kart: Arcade GP 2 and Mario Kart Tour:

Bowser's Shell This big ol' shell on loan from Bowser will crash any karts it hits and keep on going. It can only be thrown forward.

[Source: Items, Tips and Tricks, Mario Kart Tour, September 2019]

On the topic of items, Super Mario Kart used ? Panels to dispense its items. These panels are likely made by the same people in the Mushroom Kingdom who make ? Blocks. While they weren't used in later Mario Kart tournaments, they have still made a few other appearances since, such as in Mario Party 9.

From the Mario Kart 64 Mario GP onwards the ? Panels were replaced with the iconic Item Boxes, which were likely much more convenient for transportation and addition to the racetracks. But it wasn't until Mario Kart Wii where we actually learned where these come from, through the course Toad's Factory.

This is actually the Item Box Factory, as we can see not only from the trackside banners with the Item Box logo and giant sign of Toad with an Item Box, but from the shipping containers with items ready to go into the Item Boxes:

Inside the factory, we can even see the process of how Item Boxes are made. The Items are put inside standard Brick Blocks, before the Brick Blocks are placed on a conveyor belt with stamps of some sort. These stamps appear to be filled with some sort of magical rainbow liquid, likely sourced from Power Stars, which transforms the Brick Blocks into the Item Boxes, giving them their translucent rainbow appearance and their ability to float:

Circling back to the Kongs for a moment, Funky Kong is actually the one responsible for the construction of the DK Barrel Cannons featured prominently throughout Mario Kart courses.

We learn this when Donkey Kong mentions Funky in the context of their creation in Mario Super Sluggers:

Oooook! (Looks like Funky Kong has been busy.)

[Source: Donkey Kong, Best Friend of Funky Kong, Playable Character in Mario Super Sluggers, August 2008]

This isn't all too surprising though, given Funky Kong's previous barrel-based mechanic work and his appearances in Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart Tour, as well as the barrel-inspired Funky Stadium which he presumably also built:

Speaking of which, it's about time I discuss the stadiums, circuits and other courses and where they came from!

Mario is world-famous and incredibly wealthy from his adventures, businesses and sports stardom. Multiple of the circuits in the games are also clearly built by him or at least in honour of him. He‘s the only character with actual circuits named after him in Super Mario Kart:

State-of-the-art racetracks in the Mario world that are rich in variety. The effectiveness of the pipe obstacles is the key.

[Source: Mario Circuit's description, Japanese Store Promo for Super Mario Kart, August 1992]

Mario Circuits have also been described as the primary circuits of their respective Grand Prix:

Mario Circuit This is the main circuit in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Familiar denizens of the Mushroom Kingdom can be spotted here and there. The road's filled with curves, so this is a good place to practice drifting.

[Source: Courses, Page 31, Instruction Booklet of Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, November 2003]

It stands to reason that most characters had a hand in designing the tracks that bear their names. In fact we know that's the case for several courses, such as N64 Wario Stadium:

That rascal Wario was in charge of the design and construction of this course. A fan of motocross races, he brought in major amounts of sand to fill this huge stadium in an attempt to build a course more suitable to bikes than Karts. Each lap's distance is extremely long, making it difficult to stay concentrated on the race.

[Source: MARIO KART 64 COURSE MAPS, Page 30, Instruction Booklet of Mario Kart 64, February 1997]

Meanwhile the Bowser's Castle courses are modified from or otherwise based on the real Bowser's Castle:

Surprisingly, the Bowser's Castle has been transformed into a race ground! Because it's inside the building, most of the corners are tricky right angles. However, the most difficult part of the course is where the Thwomps are. They will block your path, and if you run into one, you will spin out. Should you be stepped by one, you'll find yourself squished flat as a pancake.

[Source: MARIO KART 64 COURSE MAPS, Page 31, Instruction Booklet of Mario Kart 64, February 1997]

Bowser typically designs his courses with the help of his minions to be filled with traps in the hopes of beating Mario. This goes beyond the Mario Kart tracks and also applies to his Tennis Courts, Golf Courses, etc.:

Lord Bowser designed his course to defeat Mario, so it’s kinda full of lava and bombs and stuff like that.

[Source: Spiny, Minion of Bowser, Non-player Character in Mario Golf: Super Rush, June 2021]

Bowser enlisted his minions to create this course in hopes of defeating Mario with all the traps and hazards.

[Source: Koopa Troopa, Minion of Bowser, Non-player Character in Mario Golf: Super Rush, June 2021]

However, this isn't universally the case. For example, Peach Beach is merely Princess Peach's favourite beach resort in the Southern Isles, while Toad's Turnpike is on a public road in Toad City!

I could go on and on about the Mario Kart series and the depth to its worldbuilding, but I think that's quite enough for today. Thank you for reading!

i hath put 2000 miles on my e-bike, my commuting and grocery getting machine. This is your daily reminder that you should get an e-bike, it is the joy and pride of my life and I love it so much. I never would have put 2k miles on a regular bike cuz I hate exercising. This thing allows me to make a 9-mile commute to work. It also moved a computer modem with it:

I regularly get a week's worth of groceries with it:

It's been on a 140-mile, 3 day ride along the C&O Canal:

It's been across the country, including Denver and Las Vegas:

This is what part of my commute to work looks like

instead of this:

I get to see, stop, and take wobbly pictures of wildlife, including this pretty deer:

and snakes

Anyway, if you live anywhere with somewhat acceptable infrastructure and you can swing for what is basically a pricey bike or a very cheap car replacement, I would highly advise you get one. I wish I could just take it everywhere and get rid of my car. It's the fastest way to feel good and happy.
