True, not much of the claims have been validated. But regardless, they’re saying they are releasing the product within a month, so if it is only hype to attract investors, they are either too late or they will be delaying the launch of the bike. Cause, the truth will soon be revealed.

They claim it lasts for 10k or more cycles. Lithium free and good across a wildly bigger temperature range than li Ion. Density beyond the best of li ion. 400Wh/kg. They will supposedly start delivering the first bikes with the battery next month. More test results next Monday. A lot of bold claims,some substantiates with these current tests, some apparently deliberately not. Like density could easily be determined if they only weighed the battery under test. But regardless, the truth will be revealed soon enough. I am enthusiastic, but I’m not investing, so I have nothing to gain/lose. We shall see.

Well, there’s hydrogen, but that has its own downsides. Like it’s a bit explody, for example.

That makes sense. It would only work if scarcity is not artificial, but naturally limited resource. Sort of like how worst thing that could happen to a country is they find oil.

I mean - I get all the jokes and everything, but wouldn’t this democratization of coca generally be a good thing to the world? At least it might be good for countries that now have a problem with illegal coca production. I don’t actually have enough info about that industry, but I would like to hear some opinions from people more familiar. Would the “democratization” of coca be a net benefit? Even if not legalized fully? Would it leech money from cartels/mafia?
