Trains are the only thing I need to finally sell my car altogether. It’s existentially important to me that I can at least get to the next city over if I’m doing this as a prepper thing. The big limitation with ebikes is that 80km/50mi is the expected range on a single battery with a 3-5 hour recharge time. As it stands I can replace 99% of my urban driving with the ebike, but I can’t go regional with it until the next generation of batteries starts dropping. A train that could get me two cities over would solve all of my problems except for moving between apartments.
Yo, we just gave up our gas guzzler about 2 weeks ago and I couldn’t be happier! Bikes, buses, and trains, Fuck yeah!
