Good ideas but not foolproof. An apartment building where my brother lives nearly burned down from an e-bike charging on a balcony. As a result, e-bikes are not permitted anywhere in the buildings. My brother has to run an extension cord out his window and charge in the trunk of his car...

I really want to get into RC flying but I live within 5 miles of a small airport and the FAA regulations make it too prohibitive.

You may be asking the moose for a ride if that rear tire blows. ;) Welcome to the forum!

One of the only times I use my throttle is for situations like this. Only have to move a few feet to get into a lower gear.

Might be the wrong size co2 cylinder.

All this is true but keep in mind, not all the satellites your terrestrial GPS sees are WAAS enabled. Airplanes have a much clearer horizon, or view of the sky, so fewer WAAS satellites are required for position augmentation. Also, WAAS is only available in North America. Those in other...

I'm not aware of any consumer grade GPS receivers that will give you an accurate, immediate fix. The exception would be if the GPS was turned off and then back on again within a short period of time, and not moved significantly from the original position. GPS receivers need to acquire signals...

Such a device should include a can of spray paint that would put a "racing stripe" on the side of the offending vehicle as it passes.

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't criticizing. I echo your sentiment. I was merely quoting the law. BTW, it's federal, not state.

I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but you do not own the airspace over your property. It's a federal offense to shoot down a drone in the US. You are responsible for damages even if the drone is flying illegally...

These guys managed it: This one looks more problematic: Then there is always the bicycle built for 20:

Mine started life as a 2018 Pedego Platinum Interceptor and morphed into it's present configuration:

Could you just leave the plastic cover off? The void would be partially filled by the bottle bob & battery. It's difficult to tell from your pic if the hose clamps would fit around the down tube with the cover off.

Unless you are able to do your own service & maintenance, it may be difficult to find a bike shop nearby that will work on a bike purchased online. Even if you can do your own work, think about parts availability. You get what you pay for, and there is no exception for e-bikes. Give servicing...

Grin Tech in Vancouver carries a line of Hailong style 4 prong batteries. Not sure who manufactures them for Grin but in my experience, all are quality builds. https://ebikes.ca/shop/electric-bicycle-parts/batteries.html Yes, this type of connector is subject to corrosion when exposed to...

Have you looked at the Magnum Nomad or Magnum Peak 7? Both are carried by Ridesmart Maui Electric Bikes located on your island: https://ridesmartmaui.com/electric-bikes-for-sale-maui/ Keep in mind, things like saddles, stem risers, suspension seat posts, tires, handlebars, grips, pedals and a...

It's hard to see in your pic but you said there were a few CM clearance between the plastic panels and the down tube. You should be able to run the hose clamps through this space. That way, the bottle bob would contact only the downtube. I use the bottle bob with a 10# Dorado 9C battery, and...

I used this product from Grin Tech: https://ebikes.ca/shop/electric-bicycle-parts/battery-accessories/triple-bob.html I then mounted a Reention battery cradle like this one, but you could use a cradle for other battery types as well...

Not sure if this is your "carrot effect" or not, but I find I exert myself more when using cruise control than PAS. You would think it would be just the opposite, but psychologically, I feel the need to help the bike rather than having it help me using PAS. Maybe it's just me, but I feel a bit...
