    PSWPOWER - DO NOT USE THEM

    Interestingly I thought. Products can't be marked delivered unless the GPS device they use is close to your house. That's if they bother to mark parcel as delivered however, they have to if that if they want to get paid. Makes me wonder why they don't mark parcels as delivered sometimes?

    People in Sheffield have spoken out against the irresponsible use of electric bikes, after a local MP raised concerns in the House of Commons.

    I watched e-bikes going through the city pedestrian street today. Looked like Joe public but later in the evening it will be food delivery bikes. I thought bikes were banded in city pedestrian zones? Re shared paths. I can see the problem on some if not very wide. How many accidents are there?

    I think it's batteries shorting out that causes fires. I see buckets of lithium Ion batteries at work all swollen up and so far no fires. It worries me although in a sealed store room out the way. Reading online swollen lithium Ion batteries are not thought to be dangerous although care should...

    36V Bosch tool battery for e-bike use

    I keep thinking about this. Using tool batteries to power bike as I've loads just sitting about. Well about 7 18v plus 4 at 12v. I thought today I could just fit 2 18v batteries in 2 chargers permanently then wire that up to motor. Plug in the chargers to 240v to charge. I guess you would need...

    Traffic noise while riding.

    I try to listen to music or a podcast on my commute but it's not working out. Even on full volume I can't hear much with the traffic noise. Tried a few different bluetooth buds but no good, and when I get to a point where the traffic noise decreases the volume is too loud. I just don't bother...
