    Keep us informed on how things go. I'm interested to see what happens.

    Hailong HL1 36v Batteries - on/off switch - yes or no?

    Well done. Hope it will do the journey you propose. If i were you. I would do the last ten of those miles near home, so if it runs out you are not that far from home. On the bad side, my weak cell group needs regular long balance charges to keep it in line with the others. Of course now you...

    They shot the tiger. Pretty harsh really under the circumstances. I think it is an example of natural selection. Like this one which also resulted in a death. Who would do this at a tiger drive through? Here Kitty kitty.....

    Haibike Trekking 10 front support noise

    It could be a few things. Check for play in the pedal, or the pedal securing bolt. Loose fastener on the chain ring allowing it to flex. Loose crank bolt allowing movement of the crank arm. In my BBS001, I had a similarly timed sound. It varied between being a creak or click. That was due to...

    Pavement

    Absolutely perfect common sense. I adopt an exaggerated level of consideration and politeness when I am riding among pedestrians. I often take a low traffic shortcut through the Freeman Hospital. Where I exit the hospital roads there is a narrow path, which I use very slowly, in case a...

    Interesting idea for long term, large scale energy storage. "If you want to make a battery that's dirt cheap, you have to make it out of dirt." Pretty clever stuff. Store surplus renewable energy as heat and use that heat to heat cities. Hot sand at 600c in large storage vessels underground...

    When Saneagle (who is a very clever and sensible fellow) goes on about things like this, I think he is playing a game and winding us up. There is no way the fellow who analyses technical e-bike problems and shares his knowledge really believes these things. I'm just not having it. He's a...

    Here's the thing that gets me about all this - chicken is cheap. I bought a whole medium chicken in Lidle last week for about £3.85. - and that's a retail price. Takeaways buy at wholesale prices. The profit margin on takeaway food is massive. The meat content of a Chinese Takeaway is about...

    Phylion battery query

    I am guessing from Cyclebuddy's chart above that if JimRiley wanted to connect a generic 36v charger to test the battery, that he would need to fake up a logic 1 on pin five. I think the other two logic pins on the battery charge port are sending logic messages the other way to the Phylion...

    Hailong HL1 36v Batteries - on/off switch - yes or no?

    I think if it was me, impatience would overcome my scruples and I would use the other charger with caution. You won't need to raise the low cells to the full 4.2 volts to see whether you have increased the range. If you raise them to something like 4v, you should see a much longer range from the...

    Phylion battery query

    That looks just like my partner's Pendelton battery. Same five pin charge port. The BMS can go to sleep on those, but they can be woken up. You have a good chance that the cells are not too low to be re-charged with the pack at 40 volts. When she got her bike, we got it really cheaply because...

    I wonder if the OP has seen this thread: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/mott-electric-pedal-car.47721/ He is in NI and I think the Mott people are in Ireland. I think they sell plans as well as built cars.

    All this diversion into Chinese takeaways in England is a pointless exercise. The issue is that Trump lost that debate in the opinion of anyone who has an open mind. He was all over the place. I watched the whole debate - about an hour and a half long. Harris avoided answering a couple of...

    There are all kinds of deviants doing unspeakable things. You and I have both seen individual cases of people from China doing stuff like this. They are deviants. It would be a distortion to suggest that chinese take aways are doing this., just like it would be a distortion to suggest that men...

    Argos £245 folding Bike Improvements

    Interesting stuff. Maybe you worked in the bike industry to know such things. Either way - I like what I got for that amazing price. I just took out my other electric bike for the first time in nearly a month this morning. Just making sure I look after its three year old battery, by charging...

    I suspect he had the idea of cutting his meat bill at the takeaway. But he is in England. All the people in the video are in England. What has this to do with what Trump said? He was not talking about Chinamen in England, he was talking about migrants from central America on the southern border...

    There is no such thing as 'reported on social media.' Social media is full, top to bottom with wackos, spouting rubbish. You refer to it as if it had some credibility and authority. It is just people spouting and venting and talking shyte. The more time people devote to 'social media' the more...
