I'm surprised chargers which automatically recognise battery voltage, BMS continuity etc are not widely available. All the chargers (Some quite ancient) I use for my toy planes have this facility and confirm pack voltage and balance connection status before charging. Any cell over volt etc...

I guess the "Trolly Bus", phased out eons ago doesn't seem such a bad idea now for city wide transport. Better than the current crop of E-Buses charged by diesel generators... TTFN John.

Fabulous, an area I know well having stayed in Drummore many times and cycled off to Port Logan, Mull of Galloway, Ardwell bay etc. (Bloody steep hill up to the Mull, but it has a great cafe as a reward). Looks like your campsite was above East Tarbet? TTFN John.

I wonder if at least a proportion of these might be caused by owners using 48v chargers on 36v systems (Or 54v on 48v etc). Many appear to be kits and parts possibly bought from many different sources. TTFN John.

Just a question to satisfy my curiosity... Having seen a number of posts referring to towing a trailer. Rather than wondering about the power available for towing heavy loads up hills do you encounter any problems with steeper descents? Do standard cycle brakes cope without any issues? I...

A lot of the construction is Balsa Wood. (Another pet peeve of mine). The price of building my toy planes has gone through the roof. :mad: But they are not recyclable due to the Carbon fibre and other non degradable chemicals and substances used during manufacturing. TTFN John.

Unfortunately yes. :rolleyes: The loss of habitat and indigenous wildlife has been immense. The last real stronghold of the Scottish Wildcat where it hasn't been diluted by feral domestic moggies in Clashindarroch forest is currently under real threat due to a planned wind farm proposed by a...

The way everything is going (App, Siri, Alexa, smart TV voice control etc). The youth of today will never understand the pain of having to trudge through 12 feet of shag pile carpet in the 70's to change the TV channel. TTFN John.

I have to admit to being confused as to why there doesn't seem to be enough tarmac to fill the potholes but plenty is available to build speed humps. Enquiring minds need to know. :rolleyes: TTFN John.

The problem I found with doing that when I transferred to E-Bikes was having fo remember to fold the display out of the way to prevent it being damaged if contacting the ground. I have a bike stand but more often than not I use these...

Not sacrilege at all Flecc, my late wife and I used take our bikes on holiday and cycle everywhere (Full days out with beer/wine and a packed lunch). Nowadays I still do the same but none of it would be possible without my beloved E-Bikes. I'm probably travelling further than we used to and my...

Although they do quote a maximum weight of 25kg and "Fatbikes" are not allowed due to their 2.5" tyre width restriction which is a shame as I was planning a few days cycling out and back from Corrour Station House and have a "Fatbike" specifically due to the terrain I hoped to ride across. I...

Not sure if t would fit your needs but I use "Komoot". I used to use "Viewranger" which I really liked until it was absorbed into "OutdoorActive" which while it has some really nice features, I felt it tries to be all things. Hiking, Running, Biking etc without satisfactorily achieving any of...

But nowhere near as satisfying. :cool: TTFN John.

I'm sure his phone would have broken his fall. :D TTFN John.

Those damm stealth gates, they are out to get you. ;) This guy though takes it to the next level, wonder what was so interesting on his phone. TTFN John.

Pressurised lighter refill containers work well. Just fit a generic spray can head (WD40 etc) to it. A bit like having your own Napalm dispenser. :) TTFN John.

I can't help feeling with all the other steps you have taken to be visible indicators probably wouldn't even be seen by motorists. Have you thought about increasing your perceived "road footprint" with something like these? TTFN John.
