lol thanks for nominating me for a traffic mpg award. Yea traffic is ridiculous, luckily I'm able to make my own hours for the most part so I usually get there at 11am and leave around 7pm which does help with traffic.


I have a garage full of ebikes and escooters, but I rarely use them. I think 40mph is like my magical number that I need to go. The Elite will do 45mph, which is not enough for me to get on the 405 or 101. I used to commute with a 1970 honda cb100 which topped out at 70mph and definitely wasnt freeway legal, but at least I could kind of go with traffic if it happened to free up for a stretch.

I could take side roads with the Elite but that would put the commute at over an hour. In a car it's 40minutes - 1.5 hours depending on traffic. On the motorcycle its 25-45 minutes.

I'm thinking I may do a tapered tail box, anyone have any inspiration for me?
