I found these paragraphs inspiring enough to share. Just living is praxis when you live mindfully.

I had an ebike for a month and it cost almost nothing to recharge, so this would be a really good fit for home solar as you mention.

Miss that thing a lot, it made going out even for mundane things or just even exploring so fun. Now i'm back to my manual bicycle 😢 still fun but much more tiring lol

What happened?

[–] lemann@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

My apologies - it was a free one provided by my local government for a month. We previously had a docked ebike system, but it went bankrupt due to vandalism... The replacement system put in place was to give people the ebikes directly, which worked much better

Where do you live? Government giving ebikes for free sounds crazy for me, that I live in Italy
