    Frozen battery?

    Keep them legs pumping and remember on the 'leg and lung burners" go up a number on the PA, if its too hard on the highest level-push! you are still getting exercise. Most of us are not competing for the triathlon( if you are more power to you and lower the PA!)

    Chili Verde

    It was -15 C here this morning( helped in part with the Albedo of the snow, no doubt) so I will just stay around the fire till "Old Sol" does His thing, at least its clear and calm. I do not ride in lousy weather, planning on doing a bit more after the weather is better. No doubt the good Folks...

    Chili Verde

    " cording" to my opiniation'( with "GIGO" thrown in of course) it actually worked the other way in some instances it was brewed in India with all kinds of strange things and a lot of alcohol to survive the trek back to the Isles. My Daughter used to date a rather strange fellow who worked at...

    Never watch the "Superbowl",I assume the good Folks hereabouts know the story of IPA and why it can be so shall we say"loud"?Love the Ladies that can sing it was a tragedy about Linda Ronstadt, speaking of range Axle Rose supposedly has the greatest range. As far as Chili goes my youngest...

    Any IGHs with over 350% range, >20,000km service life & 300nM torque rating???

    Muscle cars are frequently busting cogs, you can tear anything up if you try hard enough,I twisted the crankset out of an old middleweight bike doubling uphill one time,I guess I could generate more force in those days,I braced on the handlebars and was heaving pretty hard. I like the idea of...

    Rear hub and mid drive motor working at the same time. what is the the outcome?

    Hope so , because the deer will probably be the one that walks away, not so much the rider( think bruised ribs vs broken neck)

    Rear hub and mid drive motor working at the same time. what is the the outcome?

    Would an electric trail bike be the best answer? If you are trying to build a better mousetrap, good luck. I love electric, nowadays I have been giving some thought to an ICE powered thingy burning a low emission fuel( alcohol) Perhaps a Hybrid has some merit with a small Genset and reasonable...

    You ever hear of 'Silvaculture? plant once basically be able to nourish off forever?( except for the "annuals' of course) I read there were 2000 year old Hazelnut bushes in one local, that only required cutting back occasionally, its such an interesting trip( makes you see the logic of the...

    Greetings from UK, yet to take the plunge, am thinking DIY so far.

    Ah, so basically a "universal" motor( brushes eh) lets see the way I used to fix "brush" containing motors was sand armature down regroove commutator and check and lube bushings or bearings( my drills always came back to life after this treatment as well as starters, generators etc.Carry on you...

    Greetings from UK, yet to take the plunge, am thinking DIY so far.

    Stick another 250 watt hub motor and wheel on the front, it will have plenty of go and shouldn't attract a lot of attention.

    My Daughter loves mutton, not so much myself as I have a certain abhorrence to all 'meats" even though its the only food that actually gives me strength( sort of like the Vampire who loves Humans and doesn't like to prey on them) I always wanted to get into composting and embraced the concept...

    Best e-trike for neighborhood hil

    It can affect the Handling and feel, rake and trail can affect the handling and stability of a trike, the less"rake and trail" the more maneuverable the trike, conversely the more "rake and trail" the better the stability at the expense of maneuverability, you could see this in the old VW tub...

    Best e-trike for neighborhood hil

    Its a very good looker and I would venture to say if one has no bike experience this would work, my trouble with trikes is the feel( I was 13 yrs old before I could ride a bike, I could balance, couldn't pedal, my legs wouldn't work. One day I got pissed jumped on a bicycle and lo and behold my...

    Best e-trike for neighborhood hil

    My back has been royally screwed for many years and seating or even recumbent positions are one thing I have to be cognizant of, I cannot use a "creeper" when I work on vehicles, limited mobility makes you aware of your "limits" and no one else can tell you what you can and cannot do.( makes one...

    I have to admit if beef were higher priced perhaps it would curtail overconsumption a bit, I o not think any"diet" is the answer if it promotes overconsumption, I remember not so long ago the trend of "pigging out" at the FF joints. This tasty garbage will put the fat on you about as quick as...
