One of our former students who got a job in the DC area is now studying Jow Ga. He showed me a lion dancing clip and I was impressed. My sifu is a fan of how the DC Jow Ga folks present themselves back when he used to judge at meets. Fierce!!!!
One of the young fast learners at the northern dragon school has been excelling in all the technical aspects of the art. He remembers and executes just about all the forms (empty or weapons) and really puts time/effort in developing himself. About 6 weeks go, I told him everything looks great...
I live in undulating area. I have a Rad Rover (750w 80Nm torque, 70+ pounds) and Fuji eNevada, a relative dweeb at 250w, about 40 Nm of torque but weighs about 45 lbs. The fuji goes up faster and easier without having to up the assist level or go down as many gears. I'm about 205 lbs. But once...
To add on the Coast head lamp: the Victagen points where the handlebar does. The head lamp points where you look. It has 3 brightness levels (I usually run it on low) and can be focused from flood to spot beam. It uses AAA batteries. Alkaline disposables last longer but I use rechargeables which...
Don't buy into the expensive stuff all too quick. I just came back from a 16 mile night ride on dark country roads. Nobody does anything over 30 miles at night so battery life is not as critical as many think. Just need something that can last 2 hours. I have 2 of these Victagen lights at $24...
Not so much but a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has a built-in inverter and 120v outlet in the back powered by the battery pack for its dual electric motors.
We drive mostly electric vehicles (my big motorcycle has been sitting in the garage since I bought a BMW electric scooter). Along with the Kobalt 80v tools, we haven't had to do any maintenance on the electric components. We had a Chevy Volt and have a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV that required oil...
A friend uses Kobalt 40v mower. I use mostly Kobalt 80volt tools except for the string trimmer. My friend complains about the short battery life. I have a 1 acre lot and 2 stock batteries (2 aH) that came with the mower. These batteries can do about 60% of the yard before I need to swap. My...
Being ebike riders, we all have benefited from clean human powered propulsion aided by battery power. Quiet and powerful bikes that allow a nice break from the noise in our life. Have you discovered the wonders of electric vehicles? I myself have been driving electric vehicles since 2012 and...
Somehow, even in this ebike forum, I don't think of any of those brands mentioned. DeRosa, Pinarello, Serotta, Merckx, Bianchi, Pegoretti, Cinelli, DeTommaso, Masi, Colnago are some of the names I associate with best brands.
I rode in earnest when i was in my late 20s. Our local bike club, the Princeton Freewheelers, had numerous rides of all paces on every day of the week. I logged over 24,000 miles while with that club. I moved 35 miles away and there were less roads, no bike club worth joining. My mileage...
This was earlier this year. Only a mile away from home. Grew to a couple hundred acres. I was riding my ebike to investigate source of heavy smoke in the neighborhood. Last year we lost 11000 acres about 8 miles south of us.
You can buy from Nox Gear. The vest is the Tracer 360. Has all kinds of lighting modes. There is also a vest for the doggie. I got jealous of my dog because the wife bought her the vest. So I had to get one. https://www.noxgear.com
