It's something that I've been thinking about for a while. I think it'd be good for me.
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
Anyone have experience switching from cars to electric bikes? What can you say about it?

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I've seen a lot of electric bikes the past year...probably at least 3-4 times a week as I am out driving.
I don't think I would be on one of those going that fast with minimal protection...seems like a good way to get seriously injured even if it's not your fault with the way cars don't see bikes many times.

Electric bikes no, motorcycles yes. I'd definitely stay away from e-bikes.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Cyclists should have their own lane like mentally challenged people at the supermarket so no one will waste time and patience cause of them.

I own an Ebike...and Yes I agree. Stay away from the expressway and highways....
But if you're using it for only rural driving and short distances to go to the store or something, then it's definitely useful.

Depends on what you're using it for. I'd recommend checking out the rad power line of bikes though for the best customer service. I have a blix vika +, rattan 750, and a gotrax ebe2

You go slower, and get wet more often.

No problem. Looks like you already have experience tinkering, so you won't have too much trouble servicing which ever you choose. Back wheel should be more than enough. Front drive would only really be needed seriously if you're going to use it for mountain climbing. Mid drive from what I've read is more for riders that wanna climb a lot of hills and they are a little bit more pricey. Another recommendation would be the letric line of bikes. They are cheap and get the job done much as any other budget ebike on the market today. They released the cheapest mid drive I've seen just a couple months ago.

You can pretty much guarantee if you ride long enough you are going to have a very scary incident with a car at least once...
Bike lanes are super narrow and people don't pay attention...doesn't take much to send a bike rider flying 20 feet in the air.
I'd only ride them in places where cars are prohibited or on very calm side streets
