    Disabled cyclist; with one bad choice behind her, needs help with a new bike

    My rule of thumb is I should be able to lift up my unpowered bike with one hand. I will then know for sure that I can load the bike in the back of my car on my own if I have to. All factory made bikes are compromises, including the Crusa that you bought from me, especially on weight. I would...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    As I said, the guy regurgitate irrelevant facts ans fictions. If he did the calculations instead, he would have seen that UPS that datacentres use takes out harmonics from the grid instead of add to. Datacentres have to comply with IEEE519 and EU EN610000-3-2 for their permit. Their servers...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    They are cars bought for special projects which have changed or cancelled, so they are surpluses. You have auctions like that in China but they don't have much if any effect on growth of EV sales across the world. Demand for oil seems to have peaked.

    Orban did the same before in 2023. He retracted his opposition a little later.

    Why are you interested in a small amount harmonics on AC supply? If a device needs DC supply, harmonics are removed by the ac-dc converter stage. Atherwise, the amount of harmonics generated by the appliance is usually more than the grid's but gets absorbed locally. Incidentally, that guy...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    I suppose they have to provide a minimum level of service to help EVs with enough charge to reach the nearest charging stations. With new EV battery packs capable of 2000 miles on one full charge, the diesel backup generators won't be often needed.

    It's just a commodity like samarium for example, If you need it, you'll have to pay market price. China hoover up as much gold as available for a few years now, especially from USA, pushing up demand hence price. Politically, it's more acceptable than selling RMB or buying US treasury bonds to...

    Netanyahu bombs Iran with American ammunition. Last weekend, US planes and US warship destroyed Iranian nuclear processing facilities. So for many, Trump ordered the strikes. Starmer would not have bombed Iran. For the period we are discussing, gold price went up 1.04% in dollar term, as you...

    ... in that period, the DJI went up by 1.45% and the dollar lost 1.12% versus the GBP. For a UK based investor in US stocks, the net gain is only 1.45%-1.12% = 0.32% As a side observation, a lot of businesses imported goods in advance of tariffs imposition so Walmart and Amazon for example are...

    there is always a possibility that someone can hack into your wifi because the inverters use your wifi to talk to your phone. It does not have to be the CCP though. If you don't want to be hacked, don't use your mobile phone, don't install any app, don't run windows, MacOS or Linux or have wifi...

    Disabled cyclist; with one bad choice behind her, needs help with a new bike

    I like the 85TS kit because it helps keeping my muscles without sweating. It's also very nice to ride with.

    Disabled cyclist; with one bad choice behind her, needs help with a new bike

    I have 26inch wheels, 85TS max torque is 45nm. The controller is set for 17A. I weigh 75kgs. Most of the time I am on assist level 2, occasionally on 3. I get up Pier Hill in Southend-On-Sea ok. Peter has the lighter and smaller 75 motor. You don't need more power unless you weigh 100kgs or live...

    One of the objectives is to control misinformation. Have you ever seen a fact checked content being taken to court on the basis of the EU DSA?

    Disabled cyclist; with one bad choice behind her, needs help with a new bike

    We go in circles because you are looking at factory made bikes which are always less flexible than kits. I think she only has to dial up assist level to 3, 4 and 5 instead of 2 o3 that I am on most of the time. She can always fall back on the throttle if 4 or 5 are insufficient. The 85TS has...

    Disabled cyclist; with one bad choice behind her, needs help with a new bike

    it's can be done. You start with a 10kg full sus for comfort. That's the key to build a good bike because the components are very good to start with. You add a tongsheng 85TS kit with a bag battery for 40 mile or 60 miles or HL downtube battery for 80 miles range. Total weight 14kgs with 36V...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    What amazes me is how easy it is for Trump to sell cheap money. Since 2008, the USA and most of the world are hooked on very low interest rates. Corporates have used the opportunity to push up prices and profits. The poor usually does not get anything other than a bigger mortage and student...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The USA has to help Israel regardless of circumstances, who is POTUS and who is Israel 's PM. However, Trump is too lazy to think long term or moderation. This time, his enemies are the majority of MAGA and Fox News. I can't see how he will convince them that the current fight is all Obama 's...
