    Aloha from Maui!

    If your on Maui here are some fun, kinda flat but scenic rides: 1) I like to park at Kanaha Beach Park and take the mostly off-street paved path behind the airport to Paia and then to Hookipa Beach and back. 2) Another Fav is to park at Lahaina Aquatic Center and ride through Front street and...

    Why do the top manufacturers embrace 36 volt/ 250 watt power systems?

    Aloha, I like to park at Kanaha Beach Park and take the mostly off-street paved path to Paia and then to Hookipa Beach and back. Another Fav is to park at Lahaina Aquatic Center and ride through Front street and then along the coastal areas and beach parks to Kaanapali, and then up to the...

    Aloha from Maui!

    Big Mahalo, just went to their websites; its like Vic Hubbard for EV's! Their Scooters look like an early death but you'll go with a smile.

    Mahalo Dave, I know that kind of watt hour battery will extend your range but it's still 36-volt, correct? Would the higher Wh translate to more power at the wheels?

    A fascinating discussion of EV battery fires

    I literally store my batteries in my (cold) BBQ with the lid shut and the plastic cover on to keep them dry. Then I keep the BBQ under the porch eave so it won't get hot in the sun. When your dealing with a chemistry that can burn and fuel the fire with ...itself and without the need for oxygen...

    Aloha from Maui!

    I have enjoyed riding my 2017 Stromer ST1 limited edition a few times around Maui. This bike has such a smooth and sturdy feel to it but the time has come to sell it (with a newer battery purchased last year) because I don't ride it much. The OD reading shows 205 total miles, LOL. Why? I am 225...
