It's all about making it more difficult to steal, not impossible.

Also, with a quality ulock (think ABUS, Hiplock, or even a Skunklock Chemical) it will break multiple cutting wheels before they're able to get through (if they're able to get through lol).

It doesn't need to be unstealable, it just needs to be a pain in the ass to steal, so they will move on to an easier target.

Maybe, maybe not, but I'm pretty damn sure they'll never disclose the actual numbers or police repost or astrotufing bots.

Typically emoto = electric motorcycle, ebike = electric bicycle, but there's definitely bleed-over in their usage.

When I used them, I screwed both in usually.

A government not popular, especially a totalitarian one? No way, really? I am shocked!

Well, not shocked, but...

What's the opposite of shocked?

E-Bikes Are Real Bikes—and They’re Great for Everyone (www.bicycling.com)
 

From transforming daily commutes to bridging the gap for non-cyclists, e-bikes are the most significant evolution in cycling since the mountain bike—and that’s a win for all.

I'm not saying there aren't still people there, I'm saying a HUGE number, possibly even the majority, are bots. Might not be more than 50% yet, but there have always been a lot of bots on reddit and it only got worse over time.

I am becoming increasingly skeptical of that, repost bots run completely unchecked: The admins 100% do not give a shit and haven't for a long time, pretty much always ignoring reports because it artificially inflates their numbers.

Bar-end bike lights boost side viz, and add turn indicators to your ride (newatlas.com)
 

Head- and tail lights definitely help make bicycles visible from the front and back, but what about from the sides? The handlebar-plug-replacing SideLights are designed to address that shortcoming, plus they serve as headlights, tail lights and turn indicators.

Crafty unpowered device raises the roof on bike storage (newatlas.com)
 

Bicycles not only take up a lot of space in garages, they also tend to get buried behind all the other stuff that's crammed in there. The Kradl is designed to help, by hoisting bikes up to the ceiling. And what's more, it doesn't use any electricity.
