I'm into electric bikes like the X-Treme XB-200Li because I hate gas. Everything about it. The cost. The smell. The pollution caused by it as cars and trucks everywhere spew hydrocarbons out of their tailpipes. Welcome to another installment of 'Don't be a gAssHat'!
And so when I heard X-Treme Scooters is offering a new folding electric bike, the smallest yet, I almost pissed myself I was so happy. The XB-200Li super folding electric bike is a full size bicycle that folds down to a ridiculously small size of only 25” x 31” x 7”. It comes in at only 39.5 lbs. This makes the bike so easy to handle and store that I can easily see it replacing heavier models that are a bit harder to handle.
Here's some good news amidst all the gAsshats we've talked about lately... According to epidemiologist and veterinarian David Waltern-Toews, we may be sitting on the solution to our energy shortages.
"... in Rwanda, the stuff is processed to produce methane for heat and electricity. In Sweden, the world’s first bio-gas train uses energy sourced from a sewage treatment plant. In Nepal and India, cow dung provides energy for more than a million people. Poop collected from a dog park in Cambridge, Mass., produces enough methane to power a street lamp."
Wouldn't you like to put your poop to good use? Hey, it's free gas, right?!
Definitely not gasshat. This 3-D printed car is as strong as steel, half the weight, and nearing production. Before anyone worries about safety, the car is being built to Le Mans safety standards. Will cars soon be super light, super strong, super safe, super cheap, 100% electric or super gas sippers... and made using a 3-D Printer?
