Serious offer: i know how to make electric bicycles, electrify analog bicycles and repair broken electric bikes/scooters. If you are in #Brisbane, feeling fuel pinch, and want to get (back/newly) on two wheels, hit me up. Parts to electrify a bicycle cost a few hundred dollars, no need to spend $4000 on a store bike if you don’t want to. I even have some analog bikes we could use for parts. If you have access to ex rental scooters from defunct rental companies, i can also help resurrect these.

Will hold a weekend #ebike #escooter #micromobility workshop if there is interest.

ETA: if not in brissy i can recommend parts to buy

ETFA: if you have a good bike but a dead battery, this can be resurrected for around $100

ETEFA: your replies tell me I'd better pump out a blog post on this subject pronto.
