I think that's a multitool for golfing. You can fix divots in the grass, replace cleats on golf shoes, clean them up, etc.

I watched Crocodile Dundee growing up so I keep sharks away with dynamite

The only surfing I do is on concrete though, so that really makes the whole affair hard to understand for local authorities.

Now though, they're just like, "Oh yeah, dynamite guy. Yeah, don't worry about it, it's just for sharks, You're fine.."

SAFETY WARNING: Engwe EP-2 Pro (and similar) faulty fender design (fedia.io)
 

To anyone else out there with an Engwe ebike or any bike with a cheap fender: If your fender is not designed with breakaways on the mounts, you should either remove it entirely or replace the bolts with 5-10 lb zip ties to create your own breakaways and prevent a serious crash.

https://engwe-bikes.com/cdn/shop/products/Ep-2pro_5c418549-daf2-4cda-8994-6e4ac361cb9b.jpg

What happens is, if the fork mount fails and the front fender does not have breakaways, it wraps around the front wheel and sends you over the handlebars (quite possibly at great speed).

Engwe 100% does not care, did not cover my medical bills, replace my $300 helmet, warn their other customers, issue a recall, or even bother to fix the underlying issue.

To be clear, this fix literally costs a couple of zip ties. That is how little they care about their customers.

If I had not been wearing a quality helmet, my Engwe likely would have killed me or left me with life altering injuries.

If you're looking for an inexpensive ebike, don't buy Engwe. Get an REI Co-op, Ride1up, or Lectric. Any semi-reputable brand is a safer choice.

Also, as always: Wear your helmets every time! Be safe out there everyone.
