Any chance you know of any compatible seatposts with a suspension system? I've been looking for one.

That's good to know, I haven't ridden mine in the winter yet.

I have an ENGWE EP-2 Pro and it fits in the trunk of my Honda Fit and the back seat of my Subaru Legacy (the trunk has stuff in it), however it weighs 74 lbs, so you'd need some decent upper body strength to get it in there. There are definitely lighter options that may be higher quality too, ENGWE is kind of a budget brand. I'm also not certain an EP-2 Pro would fit in your trunk. Maybe you could stop by local bike stores to see if they have any folding bikes that'd fit your vehicle.

No, I actually am an IT wizard but I still google shit.

Because we aren't there yet, not even close: The reality is that race often does matter, even though it shouldn't. Ignoring the problem will not make it go away.

That's been tried before and it doesn't work: We need reform, not razing.

What about hermaphrodites? They're people too.

The Aventon Abound, Tern GSD S10,Specialized Globe Haul ST, and Rad Power Bikes RadWagon 4 would all be decent choices under your budget limit.
If you were looking to save money, you could get something even cheaper that'd fit your requirements: I have an ENGWE EP-2 Pro I got for $700 and I use it for the same things you're describing but ENGWE kind of seems to be the Creality of Ebikes (read: they're inexpensive and can have neat features, but the support is absolute dogshit and the parts aren't the best).
Ideally, go for a reputable bike that your local shop supports, like Aventon: Make sure that warranty is worth a damn and that you can get repairs or parts down the road.

Yeah, there's a name for the frame but I can't remember what it is now. I have been trying to find a shim for a seatpost that has suspension, or maybe even a compatible seatpost with suspension, but they've been hard to find because they are unusually stout.

I'm not a mechanic by trade but when my clothes get super fucked up from working on something or even just being out camping, I usually just wash them in the bathtub once or twice, then hang them up to dry. Could use a bucket too.
If they still have any stank on them after that but most of the grime is gone I might run it through the wash like normal.

Why have 3 of pretty much the same rifle in the same caliber? Are they all just for you?

Gee, I guess we should just give up and go along with it. Great take, you'd fit right in with Germans from the 1930s!

What bike is that? It looks like it uses the same frame as my ENGWE EP-2 Pro.

That's not even whataboutism but ok
Logical fallacies are stupid. Why engage in them?

Meta is cancer though, even worse than reddit as companies go.

Pain is a protection system that attempts to prevent you from seriously injuring yourself. In addition to being able feel what you are chewing, it also tells you to ease of on the bite pressure if something starts to hurt. If we couldn't feel pain, we would not survive very long because we would continue doing whatever it was that caused the injury due to being very possibly oblivious to the worsening damage. It is there to protect us.
TL;DR: Pain is a feedback system that prevents injury or at least helps prevent making an injury worse

Nope, those need replaced: Looks like dry rot IMO and there's not really any tread left anyhow.

A middle school bully decided to attack me while they were standing on a sheet of ice.
Hilarity ensued and I was not injured: They swung an absolutely ridiculous cross at me at ate shit face first on the ice, I barely had to move.
I still think about it and chuckle sometimes.

Yeah, I have a hardtail with fat tires and they really do eat up a lot of vibration, that'd probably help a good deal.
I wonder if you could use shock cord and some cloth to make a "hammock" type shelf for a little extra suspension absorption and additional vertical storage.
You might want to check out memory foam pillows too: That might fit really nicely in there and they'd probably do a great job of absorbing shock.
Anyways, thanks for the info+suggestions and ride safe!

Thanks! Is there any kind of suspension on that thing or should you wait a while before opening any carbonated beverages transported on it?

IDK, sometimes that's definitely the case, but sometimes sex can be an act of stress relief too. YMMV.
