we're fucked.

my wife and I both use the 8bitdo ultimate 2c. its slightly small and better for smaller hands, but its probably the best controller for the price where i live (usa; ~$30)

it can be difficult to hit the L4/R4 inner shoulders, so dont plan on using them unless your hands look like daddy longlegs.

to retire as early as possible so i can do the things i want instead of doing the things my employer wants.

~21 more years to go; i'm currently on track

i started in january of this year because i upgraded my wife's computer. that gave me an old computer to tinker with.

i recommend getting an old computer, installing an OS (look up thinks like truenas, proxmox, unraid... there are more and they are different; try them all out if you want to see what you like)

then go onto youtube and search for things like " beginner" and you will get a bunch of tips/tricks/tutorials/etc. for starting out with your favorite.

yes - thank you; this is extremely important when thinking of the future logistics of riding an electric vehicle.

thankfully i am in southern california so its just 75°F every day, but will be very important to consider for anyone that finds themself here later <3

isnt my brother's wife's mother my mother-in-law?

charlotte, maybe?

ooooo thank you! if my situation gets worse i'll definitely look into foot straps.

i can currently rest my foot on the pedal and move my leg around a bit, so i am able to use pedal assist without any type of lock (i just cant push or pull on the pedal, heh. extra pressure on my foot activates a bunch of pain)

i didnt even think of scooters - thank you for the recommendation!

i have gotten so much info from this thread, thank you, and everyone else, for recommendations here; it has given me way more options and research to do.

i didnt realize sidecars had a big learning curve. as someone who has never driven a moto, this option may be a dead end for me - thank you for this info. a sidecar was my first thought (probably due to all of the ww2 documentaries i watch, lol), but probably isnt the right way to go.

i think i am all set on the e-bicycle front (~20mi total range), but will keep an e-cargobike in mind if i need more carrying capacity. this is another trike recommendation. i didnt know something like this existed before this post - i definitely have more research to do.

thank you!

"we havent tried anything and we're all out of ideas" :p
