I've licked my fingers after handling a lead battery, as you would after eating a KFC wing for example. I'm testing to see if any acid has leaked, and it always does, even if just in a gaseous form. Like how they find higher levels of radioactivity just outside nuclear plants. They shouldn't...

That's mostly all the harley riders and some of the young riders. Outside of the USA Harley isn't a big thing. They are a retro bike, a 1950's design and most riders here prefer something a little more up to date, and capable. The big sellers here are Japanese and Euro Adventure bikes and...

Yeah, horrendous fires in garages and living rooms. It should be printed in a big warning in the beginning of the manual but instead they tell you not to swallow the small parts or lick the battery. Naturally the manufacturers knew all these risks years ago but kept them quiet from the public.

All MC batts are housed just rear of the tank, below the riders seat. As a participant on motorcycle forums for years I watched many riders go across to Lipo, to save weight or for longevity. Chances are that was a lipo starter battery fire. I wonder if the fuel in the tank burned off too...

Well I know it's "All in EV" here, but for getting around a large city on a motorcycle I'd still prefer internal combustion. There are good reasons street legal rechargeable battery bikes are just a novelty with adult riders and it has nothing to do with battery fires or charging...

No doubt a few oil sheiks will buy one.

Well Google is an octopus, it has no moral compass, just an algorithm to generate higher revenues. They infested my phone with a lot of it's services but I disabled all of them, and it lets me know with endless messages telling me to turn them back on. But hey, I'm no phone zombie, it's not in...

It's indeed a huge bubble and if you're an insider you'll make a killing. Just like all the insiders from the EV bubble. The average man in the street still hasn't twigged that that industry has collapsed because the media is hiding the sales collapse behind the rebranding of hybrid cars as...

Most welcome, look forward to reading some of you posts, where you ride, the fun you have. Cycling to me has always been about fun. As a kid and now as an old man. Most of my ebike rides are late at night perusing the local backroads out here at 1am. I feel like an explorer, I feel like I...

Alas the entire Lipo/EV-O-sphere is full of false marketing and pet delusion. The Toyota dealer told my sister her Petrol Hybrid recharged by regenerative braking where in fact the motor reverts to a generator when running on fuel and recharges the battery. Oh there is regen in there but it's...

Or tow them behind, on a separate barge with a JATO pack so if they go postal the barge can shoot off elsewhere. Or just don't install them in boats and aeroplanes. Or cars for that matter ;)

Have you contacted the people at Specialized yet, those who designed and built the bike? That would be my first port of call if I'd bought a brand name e-bicycle. A google AI spiel: To troubleshoot your Specialized Turbo Tero 5.0 e-bike display (or any e-bike getting a communication or power...

Cardboard waste is not a problem if you grow enough trees to keep up. It degrades in the soil, good mulch for the garden probably. Before plastic they used to put some wax coating on it, for potato chips, bread and the like, just a smear that degraded too. The only reason industry uses so...

:) And now lets have the figures on stolen vehicles, and how many are 'deliberately' torched to destroy evidence. In the United States, approximately 850,000 vehicles are stolen annually. [1] While a breakdown of the exact number of stolen electric vehicles (EVs) isn't tracked separately, EV...

broken home single mom probably. Moms are great rewarders but are lacking on the discipline side. Or so a local cop told me.

Outside the box folks, outside the box

Another happy customer :)

Well actually I said a bit more than that, I explained why most household recycling is a con job. But 55 years of propaganda and bottle washing has buried that simple truth. I don't buy much soda but it's always 10 packs of ally cans, never plastic bottles. My neighbor takes the empties and...

I miss the old color schemes. All the bikes now are solid colors, monochrome, dark shades, like out of some Noir murder movie.

Just a coffee, I love that light feeling endorphin rush after a ride and a gut full of food kills it. But then I'm not on the tour da france and need to pack it up for another leg the next day.
