Adamas Nemesis

Just ordered a monster of an electric bicycle, but if my experience with cars is any guide I need a powerful motor and some serious cargo capacity...especially since I live on top of a 250-foot hill. California bike culture, here I come!

Update: it is a monster, but not in a good way. Parts were missing and I suspect the parts I did manage to assemble don't work correctly. Came from Amazon Prime so I'll be able to get a refund, but it ruined what should have been the best day ever. 😢 I'll never forgive it! 😔

Alright, things are looking up in the Adamas Nemesis e-bike quest. Went over to an e-bike shop (that can assemble one for me and ship it to my door...) and test-drove some models. Fell in love with this one:

@adamasnemesis oh I like the suspension and the extra hardpoints on the lower portion of the downtube are a great touch!

@adamasnemesis what did you get? I am in the market right now for something I can get groceries with during the winter.

@skotchygut I'm getting this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D4QSHQVT/

But I just ordered it this morning and Amazon will ship it to me in two days, so do hold off on getting it yourself until I've had the chance to see how it does! It has few ratings (albeit mostly good ones) and seems to be an affordable off-brand sort of vehicle. So if there's some kind of quality issue with it I wouldn't be surprised; I'm hoping it'll be perfect for my needs, though, so stay tuned!

@skotchygut Looks like a great choice.

@skotchygut Update: I got it, and parts are missing and even the parts that are on there don't assemble correctly...or maybe I don't know how to put them together. Anyway, it was my big day getting platinum blonded and trying to start putting it together ruined my whole day. 😢 0/10, would not recommend.

@adamasnemesis oh that's too bad! I wish the governments gave as much subsidy to electric bikes as they do to electric cars. Looking at anything else next?

@skotchygut No. I might look at a bike shop I can walk to and ride out with one fully ready to go, but that would be about it. I'm honestly not even sure I want to see an e-bike anymore... 😭

@adamasnemesis I don't blame you. I really want to make sure whatever I get has good fasteners and a lot of what I have seen doesn't measure up.

@skotchygut Ugh, I know. I'm looking over my options to go to a shop, look over what they've got, and then ship and assemble it for me. Leading candidate is an impressive-seeming place in El Segundo; because *of course* they'd have one (airport towns are weird, but they're weird in a way I can handle; probably helps a lot that I grew up in Dulles).
