    Brilliant engineering behind Tesla Model 3's motor

    I've been driving a long time and I've never plowed into a lot up fire truck in broad daylight. . Never sad "FSD" will never be "there" just saying I've been hearing that forever. "Drive itself across the country in 2017"....

    Brilliant engineering behind Tesla Model 3's motor

    The horse/ car comparison is WAY different than Tesla/ other cars. FSD has been hyped forever, always going to be 100% " very soon" and it's not as if other companies aren't heavily invested in similar technology. My car can get me where I go just as quickly and comfortably as a Tesla the same...

    Brilliant engineering behind Tesla Model 3's motor

    Personally I think VAG is doing pretty well with their new push into EVs. My wife isn't even into the subject and is thinking about an ID4. There's a definite price advantage, plus the Mach-e is pretty good for a first real effort. I'm just saying it can go too far, like Tesla doesn't make it's...

    Brilliant engineering behind Tesla Model 3's motor

    I think the whole Apple comparison is way overdone, along with the whole putting "vertical integration" on a pedestal. Henry Ford went that route 100 years ago

    Espin update on the Sport and Flow Models

    So my son's Sport wouldn't go into the highest gear so it turns out the derailleur guard was bent and wouldn't allow the derailleur to travel far enough to get in that gear. So I had to strategically use a hammer to bend it back then did a full adjustment and lube. I think the front sprocket may...

    Brilliant engineering behind Tesla Model 3's motor

    Thanks for the link. I know it's more inefficient going by the EPA I'm just saying there have been a lot of people on EV websites who own them and drive them in the real world and get much better numbers than the EPA test. Well that's sort of to be expected just like what a gas car when the...

    Brilliant engineering behind Tesla Model 3's motor

    How much less? The real world tests that I've seen showed that the Porsche is much more efficient than what the EPA test seems to represent.

    Got my Espin Flow - Short summary

    On my ride one up 700 series you can choose between 3,5,7,or 9 levels of assist and you can adjust the percentage of assist in each level. I currently have it on 7 levels. First two or three be pretty low assist and gradually increases but as I get towards the higher numbers I have much bigger...

    Espin Flow pedal assist power levels

    Hopefully, it's his first e-bike so I guess it's more noticeable to him and my my Ride1up 700 series has adjustable levels ( not to bring up an old sore of contention... lol,) and I set the first 3 to be pretty gradual increases. One other question while I'm at it, he noticed when he hits the...

    Espin Flow pedal assist power levels

    Thanks, the manual says not to adjust the top speed but I'm not sure why. I would definitely like to lower it since the bike is for my son. I didn't see in the manual that you could adjust the assist levels so how do you go about that? I like the bike and the quality seems good but the assembly...

    Espin Flow pedal assist power levels

    I guess the consensus is the assist level isn't adjustable? Just got my sons Sport together today and we went for a quick ride and the difference between 1 and 2 seems like a big jump. Other than that so far it seems like a great deal.

    Espin update on the Sport and Flow Models

    My son just took his new Espin sport for its first ride. Still checking it out but there are some things I like and some I don't compared to my Ride1up 700 series. I really wish the PAS levels were adjustable as the jump from 1 to 2 seems like a big jump in power. Any possible way to adjust this...

    Frozen battery?

    It is great isn't it? I just got my first e-bike at the end of the summer. I'm 51 and was never really an avid bicyclist but now I'm out on it far more often, although not lately because of the winter weather, but it's one reason I can't wait for spring to come. As for those who argue against it...

    Frozen battery?

    Hey small world! I actually looked at a house a couple blocks over from main Street about a month ago. Been in my house forever it's pretty much finished when it comes to remodeling and almost paid for so not necessarily looking to move but I love that location. The house in Yardley needed some...

    Frozen battery?

    thanks. I can't wait for the warmer weather so my son and I can take some nice long rides up the Delaware canal. He just turned 14 so I'm hoping he's still interested in riding with me, if not further up the trail I know there is an ice cream shop in this town called Yardley, PA. I could always...

    Frozen battery?

    That's what I was thinking, I mean I'm not a battery expert but I know they sell them And ship them over winter months. I had just heard that you shouldn't let it freeze.. I have a little firsthand experience when I first bought battery powered loan equipment one year I left one of the batteries...

    Frozen battery?

    So I ordered an espin sport for my son for Christmas and according to FedEx it's going to be delivered today. My question is I live in a suburbs of Philly and this morning when I left for work it was 24° outside. I don't know the exact route the truck took from LA to here but assuming the bike...

    I tighten or check my rear spokes pretty regularly I check and tighten my rear spokes pretty regular as when I hit the throttle I occasionally get a clicking type sound. I've gone over them with a tension meter then trued the wheel using the zip tie method. Usually if I get the sound I'll pull...
