Average person can do 100W of power, there's 12 so that vehicle can do 1.2kW at the, um, crank and probably a cool 1kW to the wheels. Don't know how sustainable that is, you might start getting tired bitches complaining after a while.

These are no fuckin joke. I was stuck behind one in Downtown San Jose and it was awful. As soon as I could, I got into the bus lane floored it

why is this legal?

>>17628823
Technically bicycles occupy a full lane, too, because you're violating traffic laws if you overtake them in the same lane. Bicycles need no registration either. Depending on state unmotorized vehicles may not need lights. You're free to write your representatives about the issue if you're so bothered with it.

Fresh driver here, how the fuck do you even drive up such hill?
On 1st or 2nd gear? Do you even touch the clutch?

>>17627538

jeez i wouldn't trust my hand brake on that hill

>>17628860
I've never driven that particular road, but eventually you get used to where the bite point is on your clutch and you can ride it for the initial take-off when you're not scared of rolling back slightly. It might be a good time to use the hand brake, but I've never had to do that.

As for what gear, the engine will tell you when it's time for the next one. Stay in the gear you're in until it's time for the next one.

>>17628878
I know when bite point is, and my car even has a hill starter. Even thou I know how to start with a handbreak on, I would still be scared of that hill

>>17628752
They usually take them bar hopping at least thats what I see in my city

>>17628905
Fear shuts down the mind. You'd have to look at that hill like an exciting chance to prove your merit.

we've got them in seattle, but there are way more individual bicyclists crapping up the road, these things are barely noticeable unless some idiot tried to drive it through downtown.

Jeeze, just looking at this is bringing back that hill start anxiety from my learner days

>the engine will tell you when it's time for the next one.


Not really, if your engine doesn't have enough torque when you drop to the next gear, it won't be able to keep accelerating or even maintain speed.

Some times its just better to stay in a lower gear and drive slower.

>>17627538
Can those trams even get up that hill when it's rainy or icy? Or doesn't it ever freeze in San Francisco?

>>17630393
Rarely snows in SF. When it does, usually just a dusting too.

>>17630393
They're pulled by a cable in the ground, of course they can.

While the hills are pretty steep, you have to remember that this was shot with a telephoto lens that compresses things and makes the hills seem steeper than they really are. In person they're not as bad as this photograph implies. It's literally an optical illusion.

It's not *that* bad but when I was on it during the rain, the traction control was kicking in HARD in a previous gen mazda 3.

I have also seen a limo get stuck on the crest

LA is LAX
Portland is PDX

its part of the hipster invasion of Texas. beware.

are you stupid? do you expect them to excavate the whole hill so it wouldn't be as steep?

>>17628860
honestly when i was driving around SF on hills like that in my 96 civic i use the hand brake and went up them in 1st
go too fast in hitting the level parts where the intersections are is unpleasant
i remember once going up one of those hill in the rain in an automatic minivan and it rolled back till i gave it gas and if i gave it the slightest bit too much gas it spun the tires

>>17632947
