It's something that I've been thinking about for a while. I think it'd be good for me.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Anyone have experience switching from cars to electric bikes? What can you say about it?

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

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.
"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.

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.
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

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
