I'm no chemist, but I'm afraid you are correct. Self discharge is a real thing with most batteries. There are chemistries that don't have that issue, but I don't know where you can buy batteries like that.

Plastic could be a miracle substance ... used for medical devices, construction materials that can last a century, etc. Instead we use it to bag garbage, cheap toys, and for one way packaging . BAH.

One of the advantages of not having TV is I never see sh!t like that

Both points 2 and 3 are likely to be long term issues really. People will handle blackouts as they do now ( by compliancy followed by panics) and maybe a fossil fuel generator. Trained mechanics and replacement proprietary parts may be an issue for a very long time. Adequate range and chargers...

Awesome. Even taking short rides occasionally, he can reach 100 rides before his 100th birthday. My sister is in her upper nineties and walked all around a 15 acres garden with us when we visited her a couple months ago. Much better than TV.

And to witness a spectacular failure of a boosted ego, look at the company's founder ... :oops:

Mythbusters for EVs https://open.substack.com/pub/heated/p/a-guide-to-electric-car-misinformation-a6a?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=hhp6b I will cross post this in the transition thread since they've got different readers as far as I can tell.

That is also true ... a matter of perspective. I believe in letting the authorities do their jobs, but still doubt their effectiveness in anything beyond their routine day to day situations. And I doubt a missing container of ebikes is routine. Odd that the owner has hasn't posted here if...

Any authority will always claim that the injured party is hindering their work. It's approximately stock answer #5 on the top 10 list.

Welcome to EBR. You'll find several of your country men here ... apologies in advance for that ... ;), and of course plenty of Creo riders.

Another 6 inches of snow? Maybe that's why they call it "April Fools Day"...

At least it's spring ... gives our old legs a reason to get out ... eh?

Is it Hitler or a cop or who ... ? It's not Mickey Mouse.

Was it a battery fire ?

Couldn't really see anything but white smoke. Said it was a trike, so maybe homemade ... anyway one of the busiest and most public spots in London ... they'll be looking to scapegoat someone or something no doubt. @Chargeride you might want to hide your bike for awhile 😉

I am actually a rather slow reader nowadays; I always have to keep going back to reread something then flip forward again 🙃 to where I was. Senility is a terrible thing...
