Yes, he is a parasite for profit. The algorithms do not care if you click in agreement or disgust. A click is a click.

It sure boosted my productivity last week. You won't believe the bikes people are bringing in if I told you. It is like Bears on Wheels. The tandem comes apart in three sections and fits into two suitcases. It is getting a front hub motor to assist a bit with the hills around here. Then when it...

I made this whale shaped chart for programing 48V batteries. The idea is to get the same miles per bar. The drop in volts on the first bar used is 3V and the drop of the final bar is 4.3V. The gray area on the chart per bar is the same area. If each bar instead had a voltage drop of 3.6V, the...

There is news from over the weekend in the LA area. Firstly something like 58 mini-bikes were impounded. And a buy-back program was initiated for illegal eMotos in the Anaheim area. https://ktla.com/news/local-news/lapd-minibike-crackdown-6th-street-bridge/

The Cadillac dealer of all places sold Yugos. I sat in one and the quality of things such as the turn signal lever was less than a free disposable McDonald's Happy Meal toy, by a lot. Now I remember the hand roll up windows in the early 1970's Benz' as being as smooth as silk and when you...

It is better than I was thinking.

It is true. They get someone to fill out the application and W-2 info and then hack their lives. After paying them some money $20 and asking for a larger $250 processing fee as the next step. Then they have a CC # and code from the back side.

It would be great if @gkochner could bring the entire bike inside at work. Don't some employers get incentives both form health insurance and governments for encouraging healthy activity and green commuting? Why can't you park it in the basement? There is still that condensation issue @teskow...

I was about to ask about region. St. Paul is tough. Batteries do not work well in that kind of cold. IP65 components are not waterproof or water vapor proof more importantly in your situation. The motor will warm and then cool, bringing in moisture which will then condense for example inside the...

Funny, you sound like AI. My batteries charge to 90% consistently. Then every couple of months I can charge to 100% just before a ride to load level the cells.

I have a theory called the 'Conservation of Cute', wherein things are only exactly a cute as they need to be to get away with all the shenanigans and still survive; the more adorable the more you need to watch out! For me anyway, it mostly applies to women, children, and dogs.

The multi-use path that I ride everyday has three posted rules: 1) Stay right, 2) Be polite, 3) Do not obstruct. Half the people don't follow them. It is simple common sense so that everything flows.

This year 5,000 bikes were abandoned. The percentage of electric bikes there has gone up each year. Does that imply that maybe half or more of those were eBikes? The stoned, soaked, and stuck in the mud blues.

With all that rain it is good that you put in the anti-grinding surface on top to keep the skateboarders away.

I am in a chicken town. I purchased a 300W infrared chicken light for warming newly hatched chicks at Tractor Supply. I use it to draw down batterieries. It is pretty fast. I tried a fan but that is too slow. All the chicks in town love it.

And in two weeks they will all have VD. The cost of 'free' love is expensive. I heard that a group proselytizing religious conversions was booted at midnight. Too bad they missed out on the mud pit and the untraceable esophageal VD.

Here is the alternate CA about 80% of drivers are supper considerate, that is up from 50% about six-years-ago. 20% are jerks. Traffic can be gridlocked 20 yards ahead and they will still blow the crosswalk, that is when I ride up and slap their hood and give them the finger. I point it at their...

All those bikes are so effed! Water got into controllers and the moving axles are not perfectly waterproof. That muck is highly corrosive and kills electronics. They were tripping on acid and won't even remember where they abandoned their useless bikes the night before. There is no water to wash...

I am not allowed to read or post for a week. No streaming. No books. No radio. It is part of that class assignment.

I venerate them. Behind a giant grain mill, by the way much of the grain has normally come from Canada, there is a three ton bag that gets filled every week and taken to the landfill. Any grain that falls from the conviers gets swept and put in the giant bag. I will collect some to feed the...
