    Yamaha Leaving US Market

    I think Mr. Rás probably hit it pretty close... then add a soft and saturated market in the US and the numbers just don't make it. It has nothing to do at all with not knowing how to build an ebike as their offerings are impressive and I would choose one hands down over any comparable Bosch powered.

    Right To Repair/Modify, Who Owns Your Bike?

    Sony started it for me over 30 years ago and that's why I refuse to give them, Apple and such any off my money. Let the sheep continue to wait in line and think they've got the best ever.

    Yamaha Leaving US Market

    I have a similar Makita hammer drill for over 30 years that I abused the hell out of and it still works as new. Many a hammer hole using bits beyond it's rated capacity. Many of their dishwashers have a similar story as yours. Everything Bosch is not golden.

    Battery safety education - Only you can prevent battery fires!

    Fire safes are designed to keep fire out. You could potentially be creating a shrapnel bomb if the fire/expansion reaction can't vent. These battery fires do not require an oxygen source.

    Need your help: Left side motor cover question

    More than likely it was over tightened when installed. . My experience is they use power tools when not appropriate. There should be a little blue thread lock on the screws so they can be just snug enough but still won't back out on there own. A small plastic washer or even an O ring can be...

    Pannier bag update, the ultimate hack!

    Sorry... not the kinda thing I'd be proud of. 🙃 The uneven surface of the pedals will eventually wear a hole into the bottom of the bag. I would put a layer of protection over it... But even better I would just start with something more appropriate like a block of wood or a layer of dense foam...

    Inner tube sealant

    I always input a blast of air before checking pressure or releasing air to blow the valve clear of any sealant. Since I started doing this no valve issues. Using Flat Out at the moment

    Headed to Rome, Italy next week, then a week in Amalfi Coast. Any eBike advice?

    I've made many a trip and traveled Italy extensively from north to south and usually in 5-6 week stretches and can honestly say I've never been robbed or seen or heard of anyone getting taken. I guess some just look the part. 🙃

    Headed to Rome, Italy next week, then a week in Amalfi Coast. Any eBike advice?

    Not sure if renting an ebike would be near the top of my list of things to do. But I would recommend heading over to Capri for the day and then renting a small boat to circumnavigate the island...One of my more memorable excursions. I did this in August but during your dates of travel it may...

    The Carrot Effect

    Donald Trump too enjoys the Carrot Effect... but only in the men's shower. Seems Arnold Palmer or someone with Peyronie's gets him giddy.

    Try disconnecting the brake cut out if being used. Disconnect the throttle as well.
