Slow forum lately and I thought the vids were entertaining and relevant in regards to lithium battery construction techniques and the need for low temp shutoffs. This is the second time someone on this forum has told me I'm off topic or posted something irrelevant. I should probably take the hint.

For you battery geeks. I first saw this guy's vids last year when I was researching lithium motorhome batteries. He talked, and talked and talked some more (ever notice how youtube people just love to talk?) about electrical theory and he didn't impress me a whole lot. But now he's slicing...

I was on US Forest Service land the other day and someone stopped me to ask if my bike was an ebike. He was nice about it but told me I had to stick to motorized areas. We talked a bit and he said the recent Nat. Parks ruling that permits ebikes doesn't apply to the US Forest Service because...

Since you're being so serious, I will too. Item 1: It was a joke Item 2: You'll notice that I rephrased what you said to owned a calculator or tape measure or been married? I didn't say anything about owning a spouse. Item 3: It was a joke

Really? You've never owned a calculator or a tape measure or been married?

So it's just... f = b · sin θ · cos θ But of course. I knew that. I was just checking to see if you guys did. :)

I have the utmost confidence in your ability to come up with something. lol <--- friendly jest (in case it isn't obvious)

I thought about Kevcentral saying that too. lol How does the fact that we bought pre-orders enter into this? They were/are still working bugs out. The odometer/speedo bug is annoying but we did save money by buying a 'work in progress'. Just speaking for myself, I'd buy it again. Either...

If you lay the bike on it's side when it's folded, you're going to lay it on the deraileur side not the handlebar side. Have you oiled your chain recently? It shouldn't contact anything but it will. Some cardboard or a tarp will save your backseat or carpet.

What I don't like about it is having to break out my phone when my vehicle already has an odometer. I should be able to just use it. Also, I don't have extra grey cells laying around lol. How many miles was that to the store, 8? No, it was 8 on the odometer, which means it's really 10. No...

I have a hunch smaller tires = less gyroscope effect. (I'm probably not using the term correctly)

But on the way home is okay? :)

Grabbing a drink of water at speed can be fun. :)

I did what is for me a long run today. 8.4 miles on the odometer getting there, and 8.4 coming back. My plan was pas 2 heading out and if my energy bar was happy, pas 3 on the return. Another newb lesson. The human body makes a pretty good sail. I was heading into a stiff wind coming back...

Oh my aching ass. I've ordered my butt to get it's act together because we're going out to breakfast tomorrow. 9 miles each way. But 150 in a weekend? I can't even imagine. lol
