2/ It’s common for people to mistakenly assume e-bikes and e-motorcycles are much the same.

We appreciate those who recognize the important distinctions between these electric vehicles. See our post above for the Monterey Police Department press release correctly identifying the vehicle involved as an e-motorcycle. (Page 3 of that press release also includes a photo of that impounded vehicle.)

We also appreciate media professionals who are committed to accurate reporting—including that when these humans do make an error (thankfully MCN/MCW isn’t written by AI bots!), the best media pros promptly acknowledge and correct it. That’s what #MontereyCountyNow / #MontereyCountyWeekly staff writer David Schmalz did today with his Feb 14 story originally titled "Wild e-bike [sic] chase in downtown Monterey ends in major firearms arrest.” https://www.montereycountynow.com/blogs/news_blog/wild-e-bike-chase-in-downtown-monterey-ends-in-major-firearms-arrest/article_491b11ce-eb1b-11ef-b4fd-cff75c185ee6.html

When I'm not working, I like #photography, riding #ElectricBikes and #ElectricMotorcycles and #making things; I am really pretty good at #soldering and (believe it or not) I'm a licensed HVAC technician (hey, I needed to buy some refrigerant for an experiment.) I am pretty good at #3dprinting and I like to experiment with #photonics; I have a couple of patents in that field.

I read a lot, mostly #sciencefiction , often trash, but hey, it makes me happy.
