    Electric Car thread

    As a young person I too had VW autos. Most were the 36 horsepower ones. So noisy you had to yell to talk. No headwind maybe 60 MPH. Very little cabin heat if any. Set the valves real often. For a small car they didn't get very good gas mileage either, like 26 or 27. Yes the big V8's did about...

    So what's the guess on the new Lectric ONE product coming March 12?

    The bike has so many standard features as to be almost unbelievable. After watching the YouTube demo and his enthusiasm I am sure there are lots of people who are going to be clamoring to get one. If I didn't have a new bike I would certainly be seriouslyconsidering buying one. This is real...

    Negotiations on price

    Be sincere about buying, offer a reasonable price and be ready to pay right now. If they don't negotiate the walk away is very powerful buying tactic. It is surprising how often the seller will call you back before you leave the premises The problem is we usually want the item more than the...

    Should We Eliminate the Time Change?

    " Adopting a standard, whether it's ST or DST, would eliminate all this confusion." This is so true. I talk to so many people who make a Such big deal out of DST. Hard to believe but some actually believe it gives us an extra hour of sunlight. They must be joking. How about China, My...

    Theft prevention/recovery?

    Make sure you go through the police. I went to the place my AirTag said my stuff was and didn't know if I was going to get away without getting shot. The police told me to never do that again but to come to them for help.

    Help finding a mid-drive, torque ebike with a throttle and natural pedal assist?

    "I feel like you need to own a throttle equipped bike to really understand the benefits." I have had two bikes with throttles. The bike I now have has a Brose motor so no throttle. Do I miss the throttle, YES, there are times I do. You may not use it much but it is sort of like a car without a...

    Total e-bike ban after a fatality in Key Biscayne, FLA

    This is so true as of the last few years. We have polititions in our country who are very good at promoting that attitude. There are a lot who like to follow trends of famous and important people and this is one of them that sucks.

    Facebook experts. 1 eBike experts

    I believe there are very few experts out there that are actually experts on the care and safe charging of our ebike batteries. Most of us learn from articles and opinions that we have read and not from actual experimenting and testing we have personally done. Opinions are like as#####s, we all...

    One can not even imagine the amount of bicycles in Amsterdam if you haven't been there. Rules and regulations are necessary.

    What's holding back the e-bike boom? Research, safety, and bias (article)

    14,000 miles ridden within the warranty period. The motor was replaced under warranty. Tell us what brand of bike this was and the brand of the motor please. I must say this sounds like a fairy tale to me.

    Dual Battery Balancer circuit - experiences!

    When switching (breaking electrical contact) with DC verses AC there can be much more of an arc with DC, such as a welder makes so the switches are designed differently.

    UL Certified Ebikes

    In the grand scheme of these multimillion companies $2500.00 isn't very much money. The price of a small automobile. Most brands of bikes do not have a different battery on each and every model.

    Moving Away From Heavy E-Bikes

    I understand simplicity being the attraction of single speed bikes to some but on the other hand if one just wants one speed just put your bike in a gear that you like and leave it there. Shifting is an option if you have the gears to do so. My wife couldn't learn to shift gears if her life...

    Will you choose it?

    Not my cup of tea. Yes it looks very stout to be sure and made to fill a very narrow nich. My preference is a delicate clean looking machine.
