Nah, like for an e-motorbike there's like 5 KW needed as battery and it lasts like 60 km. (The vehicle weighs like 120 kg) and goes usually like 75 km/h.
While my e-bike only has a 0,75 KW battery and lasts 90-100 km.
The pedalling lowers the amount of energy needed by quite a bit.
Never been in USA, but working at McDonald's here in Belgium while living at your parents, with 2000 euros net from a minimum wage job... Yeah after a year you can buy the house that I showed.
I'm sure you can work while living with your parents.
Having the 25k euros is only step one. Afterwards you need to build up capital for passive income when you are in Indonesia.
The cost of living is very low. the median net worth in Indonesia is 5000 euros. So with your starting capital, you'll be ahead of the curve.
With your English, you have some niches you can do. Like working for English speaking companies. Local or from your computer.
most people that do this, go to Bali. But if you want cheaper areas, the place I showed is also do-able.
Bali is popular because more people there speak English. For Americans, the Philippines is popular because English is an official language.
My wife's indonesian so if she wants to, we'll go there.
likely not, because I prefer Belgium. But I'm also not complaining about the high housing prices here in Belgium. I know why they are high. It's because people want to live here.
Same reason why housing is more expensive in Bali.. People want to live there.
It says I burn 450 calories a day for 28,7 km. So when I ordered the bike, I started going to work with a manual bike just to get used to it.
The difference is clear. My knees hurt for 2 weeks, my quads were lightly sore the whole time. When I arrived, my back would be wet from sweat.
But I would be a lot slower, I'd be taking a lot of breaks between pedalling. The hills would take a lot of energy, like it's a squatting set.
When doing cardio, it's important to be consistent.
The bike I'm using, never tried any other e-bike, is the R&M Multicharger2 GT Rohloff.
I'm always on the automatic mode. With the system that it has, it adjusts how much power it assists with.
The bike weighs like 30 kg.
Going up hill is very easy, it automatically shifts to a lot of assistance. Then it stops doing so.
Braking doesn't feel like a pain in the ass anymore, so it's a lot safer for pedestrians. On a manual bike you'd hate braking because getting started is a huge waste of energy. With this thing, you just shoot ahead quickly and then it stops assisting until you get in higher gears.
You can handle the bike quite well, as you can use your pedalling to adjust the speed. You can easily go at walking speed and you easily can go to max assisted speed or in-between.
It's a lot easier to choose your own speed than my wife's la souris scooter.
For the burning calories part, I asked yesterday le chat mistral why. It said that because it helps you stay at top speed for the whole ride, you take no breaks, it just keeps you consistently into the same burning mode.
I often go at 26 to 29 km per hour. It only assists to 25 km per hour. If it's a flat road, it will minimally assist. The bike is 30 kg, I'm 90 kg. It's still a good workout. When I get tired, I can keep pedalling, I just go to 25 km per hour at minimal assistance. Until I can go faster again.
With a manual bike I would have to really just lower the gears and rest up for a while, dramatically lowering my intensity and speed.
Hope this helps
You can still buy a house by working at McDonald's. All you need to do is leaving your country. Here's a nice house in Tanjung Pinang, Bintan, Indonesia.
25000 euros.

They do that in the US. It hurts a lot of people leaving the US. They are the only relevant country in the world that does this.
Very bad. For example. Someone gets his income from Australia. He lives in Indonesia. Then the indonesian government will tax on the person's worldwide income. The Australian government will tax the Australian income. The American government will tax all of the income.
Then there's double taxation treaties to reduce the damage.
It's nasty. USA in this instance has no right to claim that income. The person does not live in USA. The income does not come from USA.
Just an abuse of power
Parlez anglais où ta gueule 😡😡😡😡😡
Oui oui je parle beaucoup de Français mon amour 🥰
Macron sur le canapé est très chaud 😳
Ton langue est pour la poubelle 🤨
Oui oui, beaucoup de Français

Liège.... Oh no. No no no... What have you done liège? Why did you? I showed my wife all of the beautiful cities in Flanders. Then I said. Hey, let's go to wallonia.
Liège.... Why? What is the reason? Why must you suck out the souls of any resident? Dystopia. The most beautiful part is the river. Because that's the only part where cars cannot go.
Why, liège?
Commuting is all about avoiding crowds. I love driving, I just hate traffic. It's so mainstream so all the joy is gone.
Trains are amazing when it's not packed. You can look outside, have some drink, use your phone without getting motion sick.
Busses are pretty wild, not my favourite. If you see a bus in Belgium, do not play a dare with them. You will die.
E-bike is amazing if you have a road without cars. Which is what I do now. 28,7 km a day. Decent exercise too. The off road part is pretty fun. Bit of a game to be honest.
The logo of this Lemmy page is brilliant though aha
Fun link, Dessalines dude banned me too today. Only a 14 days ban though.
I ring my bell when I pass people that won't see me on my e-bike.
if I wanted to be a complete fucking jackass, I'd just pass them at 30 km per hour without making a sound.
I'm sure they would love that.
It's the responsibility of the vehicle user to make sure that people know of them.
Noise is extremely useful as it's a 360 radius.
It's annoying, but useful.
Unless you can come up with other solutions to make pedestrians aware of vehicles. Beyond just looking. It's extremely easy for a pedestrian to put their foot on the road before looking sideways just because he heard nothing.
Sucks for immigrants. I'm born rich
Median net wealth per adult in Belgium is 250k euros. It's because the housing stock is owned by families living in them. Their kids inherit that.
"Sucks for immigrants" isn't even true. Social mobility is great here. Free education for them. But buying a house will indeed be very expensive for them. They have to pay for the current day economy. The economy that is attractive to immigrants.
Housing will always be expensive in a good economy.
Look at Singapore, it's all owned by the country, and it's expensive as hell.
