70 some years ago, when I was in grade school, a classmate had a minibike that he would ride on the street all over the neighborhood. The cops caught up with him one day and put the minibike in the trunk of the police cruiser. They took the kid & bike to the station where he was made to wait in...

Very profound, except "The Lord" is often the father in the eyes of these kids, and he's the one who bought the kid the Surron in the first place. :rolleyes:

That's a fair comparison, and the data doesn't lie. But context matters too. Living in a small apartment, the 'risk profile' feels different than in a large house with a detached garage. For those living in confined spaces, with no other alternatives, these charging cabinets might be a viable...

An automatic extinguisher is a good idea but what kind do you use? Lithium fires generate their own oxidizer, so CO2 has little effect. The ammo cans are a deterrent at best and hopefully will give me enough time to roll the rig outside. From there, I would just let it burn itself out.

Using quality UL batteries and chargers is the best preventative measure you can take, but a charging cabinet is certainly a good idea. Protecting the batteries during storage or transport is also critical. Before I built a charging rig, I used to charge batteries in a fireplace or my wood...

I appreciate your ongoing review. I'm considering the RV820, maybe you could answer a few questions I have. Web searches have not revealed many specific answers and hopefully, you could help. 1 - Can the light function be controlled from the unit itself, or does that have to be done via a...

A decade or so ago, a nearby town was plagued with kids riding ATV's on the street. Laws were passed but mostly ignored. The fix was to impound these $7K+ ATV's until a hefty fine was paid. They were held at the impound yard for 12 months and if unclaimed in that time, they were auctioned off...

Worst case scenario is, these E-moto's will cause more regulation, which will spill over into the legal e-bike market. I'm already seeing "NO EBIKE" signs popping up on some of the trails I ride.

Maybe he's too worried about getting run over. :rolleyes:

Anyone tried using the Aradar app on an Apple watch with a Garmin Varia? https://aradar-app.com/ It appears to provide audio, haptic and visual alerts, but I'm not sure about light control.

The Big Savage Tunnel on the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) trail opens on March 25th. Always a great sign of spring here in the east. They close off the tunnel portals during the cold winter months to keep frost from damaging the tunnel liner. https://gaptrail.org/amenities/big-savage-tunnel/

It's amazing what you can do with one of these sign boards. My wife's uncle owned a hardware store and had one out front along the highway. One day, his brand new Lincoln Town Car was T-boned and totaled by a drunk pulling out of a gas station. The insurance company only offered a little more...

Or this one:

The reviews on the Lezyne aren't promising. Not as sensitive as the Garmin and many say, it won't pick up a rear approaching rider on the trail. That would be my primary need.

How about this more family friendly one:

I think Jeremy took offense at my post, not yours. :rolleyes:

From what I've been able to learn, the radar will simply provide an alert (tone & banner) on the Montana screen via Ant+, not the display produced on an Edge or smartphone. I'm thinking a compatible smartwatch might be the best approach

I understand this. I don't have a smartphone or bike computer to pair with this radar unit. I'm trying to find out if I can pair it with my Montana 700i GPS via the Ant+ function. There are mixed opinions on the web as to whether this is possible.

I don't have a Garmin Edge, or smartwatch and I carry my smartphone in my pocket. Not sure if these radar products will work for me. There are reports on the web about the 515 being compatible with other Garmin GPS units that have Ant+ functionality. Not sure if I could get it to work with my...
