Rather like Sinclair's X1, that Podbike been taking pre-orders and teasing. I wonder how that lovely bodywork will look, after trundling into this and rolling over? Microcars and fully enclosed pedelecs for British roads, need SUV-like suspension!Podbike – Podbike

That thing looks about as much use as a Erider 15Podbike – Podbike
Now I'm half expecting @billyboya starting a thread saying his Podbike has a motor problemThat thing looks about as much use as a Erider 15
Wow you guessed my post my podbike has a motor problem LOL.Now I'm half expecting @billyboya starting a thread saying his Podbike has a motor problem
I still have my Erider Model 15 electric moped minus a battery, But cant seem to sell as spares, so was wondering if anyone knows of a web site for a good cheap 48V battery for it. maybe I would sell it ok then. But trouble is I would be losing out as last battery only lasted 8 months from Aliexpress who didnt want to know about a refund. it cost me about £180 plus moped cost me £350 so cant see me getting much for it anyway even with another battery as I would be selling it at a loss but have to try something its now cost me £530 so say another battery well cant see anyone buying it for over £600
Many of us have long been telling you to to cut your losses.
You should have scrapped the e-rider straight after buying it and taken the £350 loss. Now you've grown that to £530 loss, so please accept that and write it off to experience. Whatever you do, don't spend more to make that loss even greater.
.
Yes you both correct. It’s just that fact no one seems to want it for spares. Will leave it for a while then try advertising it again. Thanks again both of you
happy new 2023
If it doesn't sell as is, your only hope of getting any money back at all over ten years or so, may be breaking it into tiny parts and selling those individually? Otherwise throw it in the bin/recycle, chalk it up to experience with learnings along the way about electrickery, motor windings and the like. Some losses are dead losses.

If vehicle permissible speeds were based on permissible kinetic energy, then the desire for speed would become downward pressure on vehicle weight, which then requires a smaller, lighter battery, which costs less.
For freight, there would be pressure to use optimal vehicle and mode, which would favour rail for longer journey legs, which is easier to electrify than kitties. Lorries, actually, but autocomplete / spell check is sometimes too funny to correct.
Limiting kinetic energy limits the energy dissipated in a collision, which allows safety to be maintained using a less strong structure, which weighs less, which needs less energy to move around, which needs a less powerful motor and a smaller battery, and so less weight.
And so sustainable transport was solved.

I think we have both extremes: a poorly kitty that has become very lightweight, and a trainline at the end of the garden. The line is electrified, though still lots of diesel; we haven't tried electrifying the kitty.

Is an electrified cat faster than a stabbed rat? Tune into The Grand Tour next week to find out...
What's your kitty poorly with? Cat flu is rife this time of year of course, destroys appetite - a huge warning sign is if they stop drinking, means it's much much more likely to die - cats prefer to get hydrated via food, which is a problem: I got a cat fountain for mine, which they ignored until they were near death's door. They get infected fscking, fighting and overlaying territorial scent markings with their own using glands on their faces. Also cold temperatures experienced engaging in the former, worsens resident infections.

Bowel issues, almost certainly cancer but the scans can't prove that for sure. Operation might extend his life a few months, but is likely to be uncomfortable. He seems comfortable most of the time at the moment and still purrs a lot. He's on very low steroids to help keep his weight up a bit, and the vet mentioned some other benefit that I must admit I have forgotten.
My 15 year old developed a very large lump in his bowels, which could clearly be felt - they refused to operate, said nobody would... and if they confirmed it was cancer during an op, they would be obliged to put him down - at that age, there was little chance of recovery after such a big operation. Pleural effusion was the reason for taking him to the vet, his heart gave out, many cats are predisposed to heart problems genetically - thyroid issues can herald that and other problems; including kidney issues, due to inadeqaute blood supply because of heart problems.
Best keep your cat indoors, as they very often run away from home when they feel they're close to death.
