I'm not sure which model Easy Motion bike you have, but there is a charger available on eBay which might work...

I'm extremely happy with my Park PRS 30. I saved some money by skipping the base plate & legs and just clamped it to a leg of my workbench. Still a $600 investment but well worth it for these old bones. Rather than risk damage to an expensive seat post, I keep a cheap post without a saddle...

Yes, a good heavy switch rated for 48V, >15A DC. Switches rated for these specs are usually large & bulky. You can get around this by using lesser rated switches and never switching under load. I've had good luck with these...

I asked AI if it will destroy humanity. Apparently, it doesn't know. :rolleyes: Here is the response: Will AI destroy humanity? The question of whether AI will destroy humanity is a subject of intense debate among experts, researchers, and the general public, with no single consensus answer...

The main reason not to do this is just the unnecessary wear on the motor, internal gears (if any) and bearings. What type battery is it? what does the discharge connector look like? If you can safely access the contacts, a simple discharge rig can be made using a lamp with an incandescent bulb...

I have two older style Dorado DP9 52V, 20ah batteries that get used in the rain occasionally. The DP9 case isn't waterproof but I've never had a problem with corrosion in the past. If there's rain in the forecast, I stretch an old shower cap over the battery or apply plastic wrap around the...

It looks like I'm going to take some of my own advice. The walls of my heated garage / workshop are lined with shelving, so wall type bike racks won't work. The shop has a 10' ceiling though, so I ordered one of these to take advantage of the wasted space...

Welcome to the forum! A good place to start is Grin Tech in Vancouver: https://ebikes.ca/getting-started/start-here.html They also sell a variety of quality built kits & batteries. Once you get into it, you'll likely have many specific questions that can be answered by using the forum search...

A heavier bike might work to the advantage of the rider. The garbage truck wouldn't notice the difference. Would be a different story if we were talking about pedestrian collisions.

The joke is, conventional bikes can be ridden at the same speed as an e-bike and are just as much a target for garbage trucks. Conventional bike collisions happen every day but aren't newsworthy and don't generate new laws.

Do sun pillars count?

The only issue I have with charging to 80% is, it can lead to an increase in the number of charge cycles . Not sure which is more harmful, charging to 100% or charging more frequently.

As you've discovered, you need a pump specifically designed for air shocks. There are many out there with varying prices. The Silca is a great choice, but a bit high priced. Likely a good product to own, especially if you use it frequently. I use this relatively cheap unit from Fox...

Then there's the old dodge of putting a piece of junk you're trying to get rid of at the curb with a sign that says "Free". If there are no takers, replace the free sign with a price tag. Someone is sure to steal it.

I've had problems with many electronic and mechanical timers over the years. Once in a great while, one will fail to turn off. We get frequent power surges & outages here and they can mess up some timers. If I'm not nearby to check on the charge cycle, I've gotten in the habit of using the...

We've named all our turkeys. The hard part is deciding which one to invite in for dinner.

It's tough for us not to have turkey since they keep inviting themselves to dinner.

May well be true as long as the tandem doesn't get stolen too.

It's possible the difficulty I'm having with Tannus is due to the deep rims on my mag wheels. It may not be a problem with a spoked wheel rim.
