    You can now buy solid state travel batteries, so I think that one we will start seeing in bigger stuff in the not too distant future as long as there are no major disruptions.

      Ooo, got a link? I mean, to the travel batteries.

      It’s going to take TSA a while to catch up, but there’s a capacity limit of 20KAh for carry-on batteries. There should be no restriction for solid state ones, although convincing an agent of that seems futile. But if they become common enough, maybe they’ll change the rules.

        I have no personal experience with them yet (I still have a few newish lithium ones that are more than enough to keep my family’s stuff charged for days) but https://kuxiu.co/products/kuxiu-s2-power-bank

        If you search for them there might be other ones as well; I don’t think the one I posted was even the one I was thinking of but I can’t remember where I originally saw it

        This is part of why I’ve been holding off on buying a new ebike: If they make something that has a solid stat battery and belt drive, I’m definitely going to pull the trigger, but for now I’m still riding a budget ebike and saving my money for when they finally come out with an ebike that DGAF about the cold.
