    eBay (UK) to ban private e-bike sales over fire fears

    eBay (UK) to ban private e-bike sales over fire fears

    the moral is dont throw your toaster radio or any electric appliance in the bathtub- on the subject of battery fires,i commented once on the difficulty of extinguishing metal fires,some Einstein wrote back those batteries use ions not metal,wtf? where did Jimmy Nuetron think the ions originated?

    Will you choose it?

    the proper one with the proper controller and battery can,note that a lot of ecycles are hub driven( not your 250 watt 36 volt variety)

    Bafang M620 Ultra motor broken? Low torque problem. Best retailer for US?

    these things really spin,so a preemptive lube job may help things and of course the stress one puts them through,you need proper gear shifting and not lugging these little marvels.

    new batteries

    what do you all think of the new al-graphene batteries headed to market? the only disadvantage i see is its lower operating voltage,seems to be much better in most every way( doesnt even need cobalt) projected density of 1000 wh per kilo.

    I don't feel safe about this....

    we do not know the "assay" of chinesuem steel,it more than likely contains a bit of copper( due to car bodies) probably very little pb(because it vaporizes ar such a low point),copper bearing steel is a thing,used in culvert pipes etc,back in the day it was used in the reactor vessels in nuclear...
