    Lost my keys( I think)

    I suppose she could but.... once it's unlocked she might be able to find a replacement cylinder which would come with keys.

    Lost my keys( I think)

    The key in Taylor's photo appears to be a very cheap one which means the lock is probably just as cheap. Watch a few videos on lock picking (it's easier than most people think) and I bet you'll have it unlocked in no time.

    Washington State to allow bikes to "yield" at stop signs

    Oregon's law giving bicycles the right to not have to stop at stop signs went into effect January 1 of this year. I have found many drivers have no clue whatsoever and many get angry when I blow through a stop sign 🙁

    Small Airplane

    It's probably not experimental. It most likely has an SLSA (Special Light Sport Aircraft) designation and there's a big difference. http://www.flyrv12.com/slsa-we-build-it-you-fly-it/

    Bimotal drive

    Looking at the pictures of how the motor drives that gear I would think it would be a pretty loud machine.

    Battery winter care

    Check the charge occasionally... every time you turn the calendar to a new month is probably overkill. If the battery still has, roughly, 40 to 75% charge you should be okay.

    How many amps does your battery deliver?

    I'm not sure we straightened anything out. According to the manual I found online, the display should be showing "wh" for the amount of watts going to the motor, not "ah" for amps. If it was me I'd be inclined to try and reset the display. From this page...

    Who are "they" and where did you read it? I know of a few here who do exactly that when they transport their bikes.

    My battery is stuck won't disconnect!

    I lived in Colorado for 58 years... this wasn't caused by sun damage.

    Good job finding and getting parts ordered and for documenting everything!!! There's a good chance it will help others down the road. I hope it works out!

    My battery is stuck won't disconnect!

    There seems to be a lot of posts with this same problem from Jucied. Here's a search: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/search/1218790/?q=battery+connector&t=post&c[child_nodes]=1&c[nodes][0]=35&o=relevance I also looks like you might be able to get new connectors(?)...

    My battery is stuck won't disconnect!

    Try pushing the battery in as hard as you can, the same direction you would push to lock it, and see if that lets you turn the key to unlock the battery.

    Burley Single Wheel Trailer

    That's an interesting approach in that instructables. Here's a closeup of the Piccolo hitch. It's a bit over-built but I guess if you're hauling a kid around... It requires a special rack but I wanted to be able to use it on different bikes so I made an adapter, this one lets me hook the...
