    I never agreed with Peta until today.

    No it does not explain it. If a price can go from $1,500 to $11,000 for the exact same service in the exact same area, someone is screwing you. As for the liability insurance yes, it is a very small part of the problem, but there would be ways to control it. Unfortunately nothing is being done...

    I never agreed with Peta until today.

    Believe me I tried everything .... Every time we have medical bills I need to spend days and hours trying to correct "errors" that are always to the benefit of the insurance... In France, if You are local with Social Security, it covers 60-70% of the cost, and you have a complementary...

    I never agreed with Peta until today.

    Let me give you two real life examples 1) Years ago our daughter needed to have outpatient surgery, we understood it was not covered by insurance so after a lot of work (it is next to impossible to get in advance pricing), we managed to get an advanced quote from the surgeon, the...

    I never agreed with Peta until today.

    Healthcare insurers in the US don't help you pay, they basically just negotiate a discount over whatever price the provider decides to charge. The result is providers that inflate their prices to keep their profits high even after the discount. Medicare is the only half way decent system, where...

    I never agreed with Peta until today.

    All of it, Insurers, hospital, clinics, Pharma..... The prices they practice is insane and out of any rationale, and the opacity and arbitrary nature of them is borderline fraudulent. At this point it belongs in the racket category. It is the result of a system based on greed over a few decades...

    I never agreed with Peta until today.

    While you are right on principle, the problem arises when misfunctioning society and corruption give people the sense that some people are above the law. Anger and desperation start to rise, until at one point it gets out of control and things explode....... The healthcare system in the US is...

    52V, 20Ah Downtube Battery pack Design Feedback

    I assume the connectivity for data reporting and monitoring is not necessary for operation. I think the BMS has local storage for the data, so whenever a connection can be made it would transmit to the cloud, but if there is no connection, it would just store it until one is available. I aslo...

    52V, 20Ah Downtube Battery pack Design Feedback

    Because of the wide amount of battery sources, many from unregulated origins, e-bike battery safety is really a key developing issue these days. It seems Zen is not only coming up with safer hardware in the way the pack is built, but also on the BMS which provides much tighter battery control...

    Retrofitting the automatiq is farly easy. Enviolo has several videos on the process, and there is a thread on this site with someone who did it on a riese & Mueller

    Battery starting to fail?

    Do you know the model of the cells by any chance? With the exact cell model, we can look for the cell discharge curves at various amp draw, and create the appropriate table to match voltage and capacity. As an example, here is a table I made for my 12S 12P pack of Sanyo NCR 18650GA

    Bafang to Rohloff belt drive question.

    Well the issue is that Gates does not make belt for every number of teeth, so you always have to check the chainstay for the closest available belt, and see if the bike can accommodate the small change in chainstay...

    Bafang to Rohloff belt drive question.

    Going from 22/55 to 20/60 basically shifts the lower gear by a little over one gear. So unless he has to use gear one today with 22/55 he shouldn't miss it when going to 20/60

    I would only consider it if 60T does not fit

    Bafang to Rohloff belt drive question.

    Untighten the wheel, move forward to take the belt of the sproket, remove wheel, open the rear triangle, slide the belt out through the opening.

    Bafang to Rohloff belt drive question.

    If a 60T sprocket does not fit, we can look at 19/55 (see below). For that @Ravi Kempaiah needs to confirm how much range there is at the rear axle to move the wheel forward or backward.

    Bafang to Rohloff belt drive question.

    I agree, if a 60T sprocket fits, I think you should go for 20/60 with 130T belt. @Ravi Kempaiah would only needs to confirm that a 60T gates sprocket would not interfere with the rear arm!
