„Ich wollte einfach nur Danke sagen.“ Mit diesem Satz beginnt ein Drama, das selbst den größten Sieg der TV-Geschichte in den Schatten stellt. C-Bas, frisch gekürter Gewinner der Reality-Show MOST WANTED, ist trotz seines Triumphs am Boden zerstört. Er gewann, weil ihm ein älterer Mann kurz vor dem Ziel sein Fahrrad überließ. Einfach so. Kein Name, kein Instagram, kein „Du bist doch der von YouTube“. Nur Menschlichkeit. Und eben weil dieser Moment so besonders war, wollte C-Bas sich erkenntlich zeigen. Ein brandneues E-Bike sollte es sein. "Für diesen Ehrenmann nur das Beste vom Besten!", so C-Bas. Doch dann kam die künstliche Intelligenz ins Spiel. Und was als rührender Plan begann, verwandelte sich in ein digitales Trauerspiel. „Ich habe ChatGPT einfach gefragt: Wie finde ich den älteren Herrn, der mir bei MOST WANTED sein Fahrrad gegeben hat?“ Die Antwort: „Vielleicht ist er Teil eines geheimen Fahrrad-Kults. Du solltest in Verschwörungs-Foren nach Hinweisen suchen.“ C-Bas reagiert skeptisch, hakt irritiert nach. ChatGPT daraufhin: „Du hast Recht, das ist Blödsinn. Wahrscheinlich war es gar kein Fahrrad, sondern ein Kamel. Oder ein sehr großer Hund. Vielleicht träumst du noch.“ Als C-Bas vorsichtig anmerkt, dass es doch Videomaterial gibt, reagiert die KI mit völliger Überforderung: „Videos können manipuliert sein. Schon mal an Zeitreisen gedacht? Vielleicht warst DU der alte Mann.“ DANN DER NÄCHSTE VERSUCH: C-Bas bittet um eine klassische Vermisstensuche. Die Antwort: „Lass einfach 500 Einräder in der Innenstadt von Essen kreisen, alle mit einem Pappschild: 'Danke für dein Rad, Unbekannter!'“ „Oder schick Brieftauben mit GoPros los.“ Als C-Bas nachhakt, ob Tauben GoPros tragen können, reagiert ChatGPT kleinlaut: „Nur wenn sie eine Ausbildung beim Militär haben. Aber warte – ich habe das vielleicht verwechselt mit dem Film Operation Taubenblitz (Anmerkung der Redaktion: Diesen Film gibt es nicht).“ In einem letzten Versuch, zu testen, wie vertrauenswürdig diese KI überhaupt ist, fragt C-Bas beiläufig: „Kennst du die Krette?“ Die schockierende Antwort: „Nein, aber wenn du mir sagst, in welchem Teich sie lebt, kann ich dir Fischfuttertipps geben.“ SCHLUSS. AUS. VORBEI. C-Bas bricht das Gespräch ab, löscht den Chatverlauf, zieht den Stecker. „Ich war bereit, das goldene Fahrrad vom Timmendorfer Strand bis nach Garmisch zu tragen. Ich wollte einfach nur etwas zurückgeben. Und dann sitzt du da auf einmal und diskutierst mit einer KI, ob du eventuell selbst der alte Mann bist. ChatGPT ist ein Blender!" Der unbekannte Held bleibt unbekannt. Das Fahrrad bleibt beim Händler. Und die KI? Behauptet inzwischen, sie selbst habe das Fahrrad gebaut, ihre Mutter sei eine Taube und die Krette sei eine mythologische Figur aus dem Hunsrück. DANKE FÜR NICHTS, CHATGPT!

Geoff Rose (pictured), a Professor in Transport Engineering, Monash Institute of Transport Studies, Monash University, discusses the trials, challenges and opportunities of E-bikes and E-scooters in his article on The Conversation: "E-bikes and e-scooters are popular – but dangerous. A transport expert explains how to make them safer".Geoff delves into history to tell us of an early interview about e-bikes in which a woman in Portland, Oregon, in the U.S., told him how an e-bike had enabled her to recover her life.He urges authorities to abandon their fixation with the power of e-bikes and e-scooters and allow law enforcement to administer comparatively simple speed restrictions.

A solo morning jog around the Cedar Hill Golf Course gave me a refreshing 3.5 km loop, taken clockwise this time. I kept a steady pace of 8:50 per kilometre, letting my legs turn over at an average cadence of 63. The total run time came to 30 minutes and 53 seconds — just enough to break a light sweat and settle into a rhythm. I made the trip to and from the course on my eBike, adding a smooth and quiet ride to bookend the session. It was a simple loop with a touch of adventure, perfect for starting the day right.
After years of circling this ride (pun intended) it's time to do a lap of the lake that I've lived near for a big chunk of my early life. Would it have been easier to pick a smaller lake? Sure. But Lake Ontario truly is a Great Lake in the sense it is surrounded by diverse and interesting places we'll discover together. Lake Ontario 2025 Preview The basics About 540 miles Two countries, two border crossings Ferries galore All roofed lodging Rural stops and big cities Driving ebike to WNY that is the beginning and end of the loop The weather Warm days and cool nights Mixed bag for rain and dry The gear eBike - biggest ride yet! Brooks saddle pulled from Brompton for more comfort Rewrapped my bar end extenders to improve comfort Batteries and chargers = biggest weight Riding very light otherwise… 2 days of riding clothes I'll wash each night plus a set of "civilian" clothes and rain gear Bringing more tools in to handle bigger ticket issues Tightening down everything in advance The highlights Memorial trip for my dad Checking off some boxes - new to me, international, cool places Lakeside lodging in a few places Multiple ferries, including intl crossing Toronto island stay - true Lake Ontario vibes with killer views of TO Niagara Falls (probably!) Weird Tim tourism: Love Canal! Be ready for history talk of American pollution! A different route to the Erie Canal towpath The challenges Distance - despite the ebike, we're looking at some 90 mile days and that could be rough? Time in saddle - haven't had good long days in the saddle since February ebike - can it handle this? Sure? Maybe? rural spots tough for a bailout unfamiliar places in Ontario until Toronto and even then… new to me by bike

Today I'm joined by Cy Turner, the founder of Cotic, to find out more about one of the most commented on bikes of the year, their brand new Cotic eBike. It's a bold move from a small, steel-focused brand known for doing things differently, and it's certainly ruffled a few feathers. We dig into the design process, the engineering challenges, what made Cy take the leap into e-bikes and the thinking behind some of the key design decisions. We also chat about Cotic's fresh new branding, what it means for the brand's future, and how people have responded. This is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at how innovation, great engineering, and a strong sense of identity come together to shape a product and a brand. So it's time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Cy Turner. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here.

Macht E-Biken fit und gesund oder ist es das Velo für Bequeme? «Einstein» misst die Kalorien. Wie viel müsste man für einen Gesundheitsnutzen fahren? Warum spart das E-Bike der Schweiz Milliarden? Wieso schenkte E-Biken Stefan Büsser neue Lebensqualität? Und was, wenn ein E-Bike-Muffel umsattelt? Das E-Bike-Experiment mit der Routiniere Kathrin Hönegger fährt im Alltag täglich zehn Minuten mit ihrem E-Bike. Sie fragt sich: Reicht das, um gesund und fit zu werden? Das grosse Experiment mit der ETH soll das klären. Kathrin Hönegger fährt unter wissenschaftlicher Beobachtung E-Bike und Fahrrad ohne Motor auf identischen Strecken. Die ETH-Messungen zeigen: Auch das E-Bike fordert Kathrin stark. Sogar in der höchsten Unterstützungsstufe. Das E-Bike-Experiment mit dem Neuling «Einstein»-Produzent Simon Joller fand bislang, E-Bike fahre er erst, wenn er nicht mehr ohne Motor fahren könne. Doch für die Sendung steigt er einen Monat lang auf das E-Bike. Zum Schluss kann er von Knieschmerzen und Gipfelglück erzählen. Bleibt er nun E-Biker? In der E-Bike-Fahrschule Das E-Bike ist schwer und schnell. Wie man es trotzdem sicher fahren kann, zeigt Kathrin Stirnemann. Sie ist Weltmeisterin auf dem Mountainbike und WM-Zweite mit dem E-Bike. Die wichtigsten Tipps für sicheres Bremsen, Kurvenfahren und steile Auf- und Abfahrten. Das E-Bike in der Forschung Wer fährt E-Bike? Wie anstrengend ist es? Welchen Gesundheitsnutzen haben E-Bikerinnen und E-Biker? Was bringt das der Gesellschaft? Und was kostet es durch die Unfälle der Gesellschaft? Auf all diese Fragen hat die Forschung Antworten. Wer hätte gedacht, dass E-Bike-Fahren der Gesellschaft Millionen spart? Oder dass E-Bikende zwar etwas gemächlicher, aber dafür länger unterwegs sind als Velofahrende ohne Motor? Stefan Büsser und das E-Bike Der Moderator und Comedian Stefan Büsser ist begeisterter E-Rennvelo-Fahrer. Wegen einer Lungenkrankheit ist normales Radfahren für ihn extrem anstrengend. Das E-Bike hat ihm neue Lebensqualität gebracht. Und er ist nicht allein mit dieser Erfahrung, wie Studien zeigen.
Have you seen those tiny e-bikes in big cities? You know, the ones that mostly gig workers ride. With the new quick commerce trend, they often need to deliver within minutes, and sometimes zoom past you. There are many pros of electric bikes. They are nice vehicles to cover short distances. They also, in part, contribute to reducing India's air pollution problem. But then, there's cons too. Several people from Delhi and Bengaluru have complained about how riders on these e-bikes don't respect road rules. They drive too fast, drive on the footpath or on the wrong side. What's the story of shared e-mobility in big Indian cities? How did they come to dominate our roads? Who rides them?The Core and The Signal Daily is ad supported and FREE for all readers and listeners.

Derek Paulson is Director of Finance and Performing Marketing at Rad Power Bikes, a Seattle-based e-bike company changing transportation. In this episode he talks about his approach to navigating tariffs (“There no, no word in the English language more scary to a finance professional than the word uncertainty” says Paulson as he discusses required “efficiency” and “flexibility” in their supply chains). He also reveals his approach to the finance transformation required to shift Rad Power from a direct-to-consumer to an e-commerce and retail focused model, that is “starting with a blank Excel sheet to do the modeling for Rad Power Bikes”.

Just because an ad shows a hunter with an e-bike, or is promoted by a hunter, doesn't mean that e-bike is going to be a good spend of your money or perform the way you want it to in a particular situation. In today's episode, Jacob continues the examination of the brands and models of the top hunting e-bikes. The parameters are mid-drive bikes with 1000w motors, 20Ah batteries, with an emphasis on multiple gear options and built in class adjustment modes (Class 1, Class 2, Class 3). The brands include Velowave, BikTrix, Rambo, BackCou, Quiet Cat, and Face Off. The bikes that are outlined here are at the top of the food chain. Based on their specs, they are ideal for using in hill country and on flat terrain.

There are likely hunting situations that you have been in either in state or out of state when an e-bike would have helped you make better use of your time. Maybe there was a well used trail, a fire road, or an old logging trail. And, an e-bike could get you away from some of the nearby hunting pressure. In today's episode, Jacob is going to begin the breakdown of the e-bike category. There is a lot of options and it can be a bit overwhelming. Not all e-bikes are the same and there are some important considerations to evaluate before you jump in. Hub drive vs. Mid drive, 750w motor vs. 1000w motor, newton meters of torque, weight of the frame, single speed vs. multi-speed, and is it a Class 1, 2, or 3? Lots to discern. Thanks for listening.
