    Mileage and Range Expectations

    Are these 12 mph rides? 90 minutes? I had an interesting day at a charity trail ride. I got the typical 'how long does the battery last?' question. There is no good answer to this question. As for me, the trail was a 10 mph affair so my bike would have lasted about 2.5 to 3 hours at my...

    Battery water proofing

    Ha Ha! I'm wondering if anything else could be used to displace any humidity or oxygen in there. Inert gas or transformer oil? No wait, Helium!!!

    Battery water proofing

    I looked at multitool data for a 45 minute trail ride. Starting battery temp was 20 degrees and humidity was 40%. Ending temp was 40 degrees and the humidity was 20%. What do you guess as the volume of air inside the battery?

    Solar wings on an airplane: Scrappy

    I don't like how the front mount is via the battery cover lugs on the frame. Seems pretty wimpy with a 6mm thru-bolt. Obviously the skill of the builder is on full display so I'm sure my worry is unfounded. I've toyed with the idea of loading my light bee on my little boat to find a deserted...

    Ride trip to Colorado and Utah 2021

    I really know better but I pulled my bikes with an explorer and had some issues. It sucked gas and couldnt keep up to the bigger trucks. I limped it home but it just isnt heavy duty enough to push through the wind across kansas. A few in our group posted pics of our trip. Some are better than...

    Ride trip to Colorado and Utah 2021

    I'll stop hijacking your thread after posting a pair of alta pics. Here is devils head aka the sleeping indian Visited aspen where a buddy took me out in his cool little Grumman Growler I was sort of surprised how much gas money I burned on my road trip. What kind of economy did you see with...

    Ride trip to Colorado and Utah 2021

    Hey great write up and pics, snydes. What a pity that we failed to make a connection out there. I had a gps look at our Moab rides, 85 miles the first day and 65 the second. Obviously not Alta friendly! I had hoped to buzz up to your campsite to hang out but we were out for 11 hours the...

    Battery water proofing

    Another battery thread got me interested in looking at humidity sensor data stored in multitool. I see that humidity has been around 35-45% inside the battery when looking at "ride data" I gave my bike a spray down two days ago but avoided the bottom screen area. Its 38% humid at the moment...

    Lost Title. (Update)

    If 'somebody" had it titled to them, they will have to obtain the new copy of their own title. If you never transferred a title into your name, you can't get a replacement for a title you never had. The dealer might have had an mco with the bike which you would have to convert into a title...

    Mileage and Range Expectations

    You won't know until you try it. 20 mph isnt tight trails unless you are super fast. If you are roosting sand in the opposite direction constantly, you are wasting battery. elevation and speed changes kill battery. I got 30-35 miles per charge yesterday on typical east coast mining country...

    Here is a weird one

    The code 37 is suspicious. If the problem is a difference of each module's capacity, it should be repeatable everytime you ride it, i think. Maybe run it more while checking modules as it discharges. Also look at a few of the most recent "rides" to see if the same thing was happening. Seems...

    Westinghouse WGen9500DF Generator and Quiet Shed Build

    you might be able to get your clamp around a wire on the back side of the receptacle on the generator. Or gently slice lengthwise the cable sheath of the supply cord to gain access to one of the legs. The insulation is pretty thin on the one with the smaller cord, you can see the strands of...

    The R pack wirebond issue

    Great analysis. What ever repair is attempted needs to be able to carry about 20 amps? I assumed 40kW shared by 504 cells. I think the sony cells are rated at 30 A max discharge. NKON | Sony / Murata US18650VTC6 3000mAh - 30A - Products I like the idea posted upthread about some sort of...
