    The transition

    A data point: one of the display choices on our Sprinter (188 Hp) is Hp and Torque being used. Rolling down the relatively flat highway @ 70mph uses over 25%. Display spends most of its time ~50%. In the mountains, 90% isn't uncommon. I have not seen 100%, but the transmission controller...

    The transition

    Pretty sure I have never argued against EVs; just that they are not my thing. There is a difference.

    The transition

    For someone that comments on the cost effectiveness of EV vs ICE, it doesn't make sense to waste $ by buying high price jerky at a gas station.

    American Customary (a.k.a Freedom) Units vs Imperial vs Metric

    When the company I worked for started playing with the metric system, they started by converting still relevant drawings (yes, pre CAD). If you pulled a dwg that had decimal mm, it was old. For me, seperate rulers, digital caliper that is dual with the push of a button. I do very little that...

    How do you draw down a battery for long storage?

    I'm not disagreeing with facts: I assume the fact is that less than 100% charge is better than 100% for storage. Optimizing battery life can be a goal for some, not imporant to others. The OP has stopped using the bike, but decided to keep it; doesn't seem important to optimize that battery's...

    How do you draw down a battery for long storage?

    Been doing it for 6 years; still going strong with Gazelle. YMMV

    How do you draw down a battery for long storage?

    Don't overthink it; we leave ours at whatever state of charge it's at and check periodically to make sure they don't over discharge. Surprisingly little self discharge over a year.

    New Federal E-Bike Legislation March 2026

    That's ok if you don't get it, doesn't bother me. Nice job throwing examples that are not relevant.

    New Federal E-Bike Legislation March 2026

    It takes more attention to pedal at 20 than throttle at 20; thus my preference to keep Class 2s off MUP.
