You would think someone would be working on large EV management systems for fleet use. Balances the load on the network and speed charges the lowest ones first, trickle charges the rest? If not, maybe a development opportunity for some upstart in the EV charger game. You have to think that...

Depending on where you live, I could see reasons why you would prefer to charge off-site. First being access to free chargers of course. But additionally, some communities have tiered energy billing, and charging a car would likely drive you up into the next tier quickly. Here in BC Canada...

Best to buy a decent one for manufacturing tolerances, and a good one like the park tool has 2 measurements. Once side tells you when you are .50% stretched, and the other .75%. If you go past .75%, you risk wearing your cassette and chainring much faster, which increases the maintenance cost...

Check this out - particularly the 2nd rack mod to keep the fork low. Should keep the balance a bit more manageable with a taller bike. There are other variations on this type of mod in youtube land as well...

One of the factors in the fold is the space for the crankset and pedals to blend. That's why most folders use a high beam that eliminates the interference altogether. To do that with a diamond or panel frame, you would need to manually rotate the pedal to clear at least, or add folding pedals...

Drive can have an impact too. Hubs are often nicer on chains as the power doesn't go through them. Big Mids can shorten the life as the power is driven through the chain. My hub bike has the original chain and virtually no measurable wear at 2,000kms, while my mid has similar mileage and is...

That's just classic T72 behavior when hit. Russia was late to the party in designing modular ammo storage with blowout panels so that the crew might survive. In fact, they sit right on top of the ammo. "In Soviet Russia" Conscripts are cheaper than tanks. ;-)

I think the fact that Apple now has baked in battery management that avoids 100% charging your phone whenever possible, and shuts off automatically at 20%, strongly suggests the 80/20 rule has merit on small batteries too. But I agree that it's just a degree of OCD that suits some, and not...

I bought one of the Luna Chargers for my second unit. It allows for 80%, 90%, or 100% charging, and various amperage rates from 1-5. Almost 2 years in service as my primary now and it's been fantastic, and at $100, won't break the bank for those features. Luna Charger I'll still probably...

Warm is fine as long as the fan is kicking in. If not, then it's a problem.

I'd say your mileage seems pretty typical for the Ultra. My RX Pro (Ultra) consumes noticeably more battery than my Rize RX 750 hub. I can get 50% more range out of my hub partially because it forces me to contribute a bit more (same battery on both), but that's like buying a corvette and...

Have you seen the new VW Mini-Bus concept? This could be one to get excited about? Supposedly there is a camper series already in the plans. Volkswagen ID Buzz

Nope, but the Lithium and Cobalt wars are gonna be great!!!

Love me some weather rock...

Gust gauge wind sock on bike? 🤓

Bitrix seems to sell the range extender kit for the Juggernaut FS Pro which uses a second smaller battery mounted in the water bottle area (At least the web site lets you spec that - probably worth confirming it fits). Since the kit requires a mounting plate and some wiring, the factory RE kit...

Generally no, you can source from other retailers, but with a few caveats. What bike and battery model? You may not be able to source aftermarket options for systems like Bosch, as they have a proprietary "handshake" in the firmware. But you can still usually just order a genuine Bosch...

As Peter suggested, I'd try the other elastomer(s) before giving up on it. Most suspension seat posts have different elastomers/springs for rider weight and/or preference. If you are a light rider, you may as well be putting F350 pickup springs on your VW Golf. Not enough tuning in the world...

One other thought with the bikes you mentioned is that the Aurora won't really be a step-through once you drop the seat all the way. The bottom bracket/frame joint is very chonky, and its going to sit very near your proper stand-over height. The Rad has a leaner frame and you may actually be...

As a rule of thumb, your saddle height should be no more than 110% of your inseam. Your shoes will add a little, and it's typically fine to be slightly tippy toed when stopped unless you have balance issues or an overly heavy bike - hence the +10%. So just based on that, 110% of 29" is 32"...
