Did you mean energy here?

My biggest concern in getting an e-bike is the fear of it getting stolen. I live in an European capital where this kind of crime is quite common. Didn't look too deep into insurance options, but still.

Other than that, the idea sounds super nice. I see more and more people using e-bikes here.

It was when riding the subway with my noise-cancelling headphones that I realized how good an investment it was. Oh, the bliss.

To me this is fairly dependent on how fast the speaker speaks. Most of the times 1.25x works well. Sometimes 1.5x is too fast.

Something to factor in here is if you're sleep deprived. I can normally nap for 20 minutes and get said boost, but not when I'm sleep deprived. In that case, it feels way harder to wake up at the 20-minute mark, I also wake up groggy and I feel like napping longer (and that's what normally ends up happening).

Seems to tackle the Pareto principle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle
