Oh shit, you reminded me I found a nest of mokwheels at this pop up ebike store near me. They're spreading!

[-]

Philodo and Mokwheel are the same. I have the Philodo Falcon. Sometimes they will send a Mokwheel if their main is out of stock to ship soon enough for a customer. Pretty good bang for the buck actually. Philodo has great after sales customer service. Some downfall is waiting up to 2 weeks for a part if they dont have it in a warehouse here in the states.

I forgot to ask where the mokwheel place is. I wonder if they have any stock of parts?

I'm going to have to get a photo and name next time (actually just moved form that town). It shares the space and uses the window front of American chimney cleaners. Streetvorww doesn't have it but if you look - they made the whole front room and accents green instead of the fire trim you'll see.

Nice thanks! Thats only 6 hours away from me. I will have to look into it! Have a good one!

No problem. I should be riding by it later so I can get the website for you too; I don't see them on Google.

How bad ass, do you know if they ever run it with the water?

This large sculptural fountain stands over four stories tall and weighs more than 24 tons.

It is designed to slowly rotate and features 366 water nozzles that create a curtain of water.

The sculpture was created by artist Bill Burgess and architect David Barber, inspired by the rotation of the nearby Pikes Peak mountain.

The mountain is rotating? Like rolling hills on a whole new level?

Now I want to take another 5,000 mile road trip just to see this, maybe next year when it's working. Last time I drove 5,000 miles throughout the Southwest, I took a 700 mile detour to see Mesa Verda, only to show up on a Sunday the day before the park fully opened for the season. They said, come back tomorrow, I said Tomorrow I'm going to be on highway 50 going 135mph in the middle of the night, not for the faint of heart. All those signs warning you of antelope, bears, wild mustangs, they all come out at 3-6am to scavenge off the trash people throw from their cars; so u better have damn good breaks. Nothing like coming over the crest of a hill doing 148 & seeing a herd of wild mustangs on the road right in front of you. Everyone wants the fast car, not a lot of people think about stopping that fast car...

To think some clown is doing 135mph and isn't even capable of using English at a grade school level.

They do most summers…apparently the city does not have the money to run it this year.

Physical_Delivery853@reddit

Damn, that's a shame, u would think people would crowd fund such an important & expensive sculpture.

[-]

atomicbird@reddit

It’s in a park that’s not very accessible or very nice, so most people never see it.

[-]

MickyBee73@reddit

That's a real shame, it's really cool. 👍

The Chinese are outpacing everyone in firing out tonnes of ebikes and advertising through sending them to loads of influencers for free.

Where they let the side down is, for some reason, they just refuse to pay a native English speaking professional to work on branding and naming. So, there’s often bike names with half the letters of the alphabet, that make no sense.

Even with clothes it’s the same thing, I remember seeing a windbreaker jacket labelled “Breaking Wind”. Obviously, no one in that office knew that in English that means farting. Changing the words around can have a completely different thing.

People were having a great laugh the other day when a friend showed up on a Chinese bike that had “Easy Ride” on the side. Which could be interpreted as an “easy lay”.

They were obviously trying to do a play on the words “easy rider” a term often associated with motorbikes, but they got it wrong again. A slight change in spelling can also mean a completely different thing.

I can’t understand why they cheap out on branding so much, they could literally hire a consultant on a contract, it doesn’t have to be a full time employee.

"Breaking Wind" 😂 That's funny!

Used to go to this park all the time as a kid!! America the beautiful park in Colorado Springs. This is a big fountain that they (at least used to) turn on in the summer and you could play in it. Was always a great time. Admittedly looks in poor shape but to be fair we are coming off winter.
