Democracy (252 years or bust), #Climate > #EV > #MicroMobility for survival (born 317 ppm), mountainbiking and guitar for fun, #Leguminati. CT to RI to TX to OR to CT in just 40 years. Money out of politics (Citizens United, revolving doors, lobbyists).
These can be locally manufactured for New Yorkers by New Yorkers in a small network of micro-manufacturers. Fabrication shops can weld chassis and single Mom's can make wire harnesses in their apartments. It's a very flexible concept that requires minimum tooling and minimum training.

This idea applies to much more than just ebikes - we built a simple Lightweight Electric Vehicle (LEV or NEV - Neighborhood Electric Vehicle) in six months for under $10K in a single car garage by one person. It was a small delivery van that worked very well.

Congratulations and best of luck to you. Please read my pinned post on MicroManufacturing OpenSource MicroMobility for possible ideas on pilot programs for NYC.

The amount of energy that we are wasting with AI to draw pictures and make videos is nauseating. Energy costs keep going up as well as greenhouse gas emissions. Only in the USA.
