    DJI Neo Drone

    The video quality is pretty impressive as well as how it followed you in the trees which is much like where I would like to spend 8 minutes with one to share with friends and family, get of few overhead shots of our place, and that would be about it. Thanks for sharing!

    52V, 20Ah Downtube Battery pack Design Feedback

    A nice gesture to the DIY community Ravi. On my screen the design looks good but am concerned with the overall length due to the angled nature? I would assume that the "nose" is there to help house the board but having the front angled so that the back has to to hold the correct cell count seems...

    DJI Neo Drone

    Want to see what you wish you look like riding or would be scared to? Go to Instagram. Or wait for Chargerides footage for his 5sec of fame.

    Amazing deals at Yamaha currently

    I don't think you have anything to worry about. The bikes are well speced and backed by Yamaha Motor Company, not just with a licensing agreement like some other brands do. I think that due to the fact that although they are more than sufficient for 90% or more of the riding public they were a...

    Mounting a BBSHD in an Ultra frame?

    That seems a bit extreme to me? I have an M620 that was loud also and greased it with John Deere Cornhead and it is super quiet at all levels of engagement? There also are "quiet" gears available but I have no experience with them nor need now.

    DJI Neo Drone

    Have to admit that the higher speed ability of the HoverAir is more attractive to me over the DJI and the cost isn't that bad over the $1k average price of the drones I looked into a few years ago? Still going to hold off for awhile I guess as I still can't justify having one for the amount of...

    DJI Neo Drone

    That's a deal breaker for me, thanks for the heads up! I'll have to live vicariously through Chargerides upcoming epics.

    DJI Neo Drone

    I have always kind of wanted a drone but never could justify the cost for as much as I thought I might use it. I am barely active on social media and have never been that impressed with most of the drone footage that I've seen from friends that have brought them along as well as the hoops they...

    People for Bikes: Progress on Ebike Laws in the US

    I wonder if Larry Pizzi will continue as an advocate for eBikes not that he is being phased out of ACCEL's operations? I suppose he will continue on with PFB but how much industry support will they have going forward as the industry as a whole seems to be pulling back some after the Covid bloom...

    ToSeven DM Series Mid Motors

    Actually the run on feature is baked into their latest software upgrades at certain assist levels for certain motors, I've just seen it mentioned on several platforms. Problem is that although I have alot of off road motorcycle riding experience I still use the left brakelever for my rear brake...

    ToSeven DM Series Mid Motors

    I also can't stand any run on, especially in the lower assist modes and did all I could to program it out of my UART Bafang motor. I do find it interesting though that one of the big selling features in the EU spec motor genre that Bosch and Shimano are programing it into their systems now and...

    Heavy E Bike hitch rack with ramp?

    Fair enough. But that was just an example and there are other options available out there in the www and beyond. I just don't see the justification of the price of bicycle specific racks when there are options in other categories that can cross over that cost less and perform as well or better...

    Heavy E Bike hitch rack with ramp?

    Look into a motorcycle rated auto rear carrier rack? They have a ramp and are rated for at least twice as much as an eBike...

    Wilderness.org e-bikes on federal land

    Took the a lot of words to get to the meat of the situation..... "The impacts of the selected alternative, including direct, indirect and cumulative effects, do not reach the level of a significant effect because most adverse impacts associated with implementation would be minimal and spatially...

    ToSeven DM Series Mid Motors

    Since getting my Z1 I haven't paid much attention to DIY options but bitd I did have some good experiences with the TSDZ2, I guess better than most did perhaps? Anyway I am a bit sad that the new TongShen is heavier and most of all still using a square taper bb spindle. Once in awhile I consider...

    Tour de France 2024

    A bit disappointed that NBC isn't doing the World Feed that is sans commercials this year.....It seems like coverage access for cycling in general since GCN+ went away has not done the Tifosi any favors and not just for road biking but MTB and CX as well. One thing I do to supplement my...

    UL-2271 certification for Zen 52V, 20Ah batteries

    Several years ago when I looked into battery certification I was amazed at the cost potential, per battery spec. I'm glad that Zen is in a position to absorb the costs and hope they get a substantial return on their investment! On another subject I just watched a Grin video of Justin...
