  • Besides being the wrong size by definition, AA batteries are expected to have 0.8V to 1.5V, while Lithium Ion cells (such as 18650) have a voltage range of 2V to 4.2V. That’s completely incompatible, you couldn’t even replace two AA batteries with a single Li-Ion cell.

  • Careful with attaching things connected to your skin with live. If there’s any fault, you’re going to be electrocuted, unless there’s an isolating transformer with good isolation in the circuit.

  • This might be very specific to the US. Here in Europe, SUVs aren’t nearly as prevalent, and trucks don’t drive on the same roads as cyclists do. In my experience, when I'm going 30km/h, I’m no longer a roadblock for cars.

    However, bike paths aren’t designed for the kinds of speeds you'd get with that thing. I'm driving an e-bike, and I have to brake to a near standstill whenever I get to a bend in a bike path, because for some reason the planners think that bikes can turn on a dime. Also, in my city we have a lot of mixed bike/pedestrian paths, and pedestrians don’t appreciate it when you drive by with 30km/h within a few centimeters. I've also had people who froze like a deer in headlights when I approached.

  • The costs feel extremely low to me for such a project. In my country, just the greater area around the city I'm living in received a €677 Million investment for train infrastructure in 2020. The next few years this will be spent to increase capacity in a small area that already has infrastructure.
