Good luck with your choices, cyber. Definitely keep riding!!!

People love to do stupid things to themselves. Fine with me. Just don’t do it in any way that makes me a passive participant. Personally, I dislike the smell of cigarettes but enjoy pipe smoke (tobacco, that is). There’s very little pipe smoking going on these days, I also like to smoke a...

FYI, I charge mine in my fireplace. Don’t know if that’s an option for you. Thought I’d mention...

I’ve been banging the crap out of my iPhone 13 mini (which admittedly is a tough little beast) with a solid mount to my handlebar. I do have a front fork and fat tires so the impact is reduced, but I haven’t had any problems (yet). But, fair enough on all the comments! I used to keep it...

How’d it go, @EMGX? Do you have a voltage readout anywhere while you’re riding. You can tell a lot from that as you’re riding. Cheers.

Lithium phosphate sounded really good when I read about it. Thanks.

I’ve been looking into marine applications of electric (battery) power. Of course, almost all large ships use electric motors, but I was more interested in personal water craft. Anyway, I started reading about “deep cycle” AGM (glass mat), which is some tech that I previously knew nothing...

I don’t think so, Chris. There’s lots of material other than just air. But, hey… I wouldn’t like to be in one if it gets shot up. The boat might survive, but I wouldn’t. :) Seriously, check out https://oceancraftmarine.com/

Yes, absolutely. I’m strictly talking about lithium-ion batteries. Other technologies have (very) different best practices.

I believe that’s called a RHIB in the US. Virtually unsinkable.

@EMGX there’s a lot of information published on “best practices” for use of lithium-ion batteries. The general consensus is try to keep in the 80%-20% range. And, for storage, keep at 50%. The explanation for the 80%-20% and 50% has been discussed many times so I won’t rehash that. The...

Ugh. How annoying, spoke. At least you could ride it this way.

It may be too much to hope for that they’ll be working on some new RipCurrent or road-ish bike product(s). The fact that they lead off with the Scrambler and the Nomadix (e-dirt-bike: https://juicedpowersports.com/) doesn’t exactly light my fire.

Oh, I know. I guess since I saw the “error” post you were saying it wasn’t working. Did I misunderstand? Anyway, hope you feel better soon! Love looking at these custom builds!

Hehehe. Well, since it was the OP who revived it, I guess it’s not really a zombie. :) I took care of a friend’s house once and the guy was seriously into salt water tanks/fish. I got really nervous one day when there was an earthquake and I was in the house, but luckily there was no damage...

bummer about the leak. sounds like a cool tank. are you running fresh or salt water? [edit. sorry, I didn’t realize this was a necrothread. Still curious though.]

Nice that you’re traveling around, Stefan. I wish I could do that, but I can’t. Such is life. Houston’s nice. Not sure about the weather this time of year. Try to make it to San Antonio if you’ve never been.

^^ How’s it coming, Pedal?

Some sort of farm animal corral? Looks like one of the gates can be locked in different positions. Hmm…. Head scratcher for sure!

Yeah, do you know how that happened, Charge? Looks like a nice, dirty ride. Right up your alley. Even the disapproving pedestrians were cute! :D
