Mine charges £15 an hour, was told it could cost £30 "If it's a very warped wheel", so I learned how to do it myself by watching videos on Youtube.

It's taken quite a while for the suspect to be arrested, this happened on the 6th of July. Perhaps the Police were forced to investigate further, after the insurance company had determined the 60% (last time I looked) threshold of the probability of successful litigation had been reached?

The list of victims suggests to me at least, that the household bought the electric scooter from the suspect, which was imported, repaired or modified. Woman 44, man in his 50s, three other people, aged 13, 16 and 26. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-62264601

In that case, the importer suspect could have simply bought a complete electric scooter containing cheap batteries via Amazon or ebay sourced from outside the UK, and this may not have been a DIY project at all. Or through Aliexpress or any of a myriad of other online souks.

A dead 14500 cell I have sticks to a magnet, and the melting point of steel is 1371-1540°C, so there is a chance that some of the battery pack and wiring remained? I hope more information about this tragedy becomes available.

Are battery cell casings made of tin? If so, they'd melt at 231.9 °C and lithium fires burn at about 2000 °C , therefore I don't see how physical evidence from the battery pack could have remained. Maybe the suspect admitted to buying a cheap battery pack and installing it?

It's all rather depressing https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/science-environment-62013030

If they can be disassembled from the pack safely, would they object to a small number of individual cells from a cell pack I wonder? Do ceramic bolt cutters exist?

A bit of diluted washing up liquid helps get end bar mirrors in. I use these large mirrors, which fold away. They click into position at predefined angles, and hold their position well. They're suppied with a couple of collars of different thicknesses...

Are you sure that's safe? Unless your garden is completely devoid of all plants and is continually being dug over, I think there is the possibility of toxins being spread through the "Wood Wide Web". Therefore if you grow veg to eat anywhere nearby, this could pose a health hazard. Then there...

Some supermarkets have battery collection points, where I guess a lot of small lithium batteries end up. After careful ebike battery pack disassembly, would it be wise and feasible to dispose of the cells in small batches? I hope these supermarkets don't simply throw them in their bins.

Dip the nose down a bit? Works for me.

I have never run out of bike battery power completely, but keep a bright LED torch on the handlebar stem, just in case it ever happens. I suppose the solution, is buying a big bike battery.

I highly recommend this headlight. Lights up the road very well. If I could find space on my handbars for a second one to make me more visible to cars during the day, I would another. A couple more dozy driver experiences will surely compel me to use another 1800LM as a tail light on it's...

I've got four lights wired to my battery, one is very bright - 1800LM. I keep them on during the day and I'm sure they prevent collisions, and they don't seem to affect range at all. I have a torch on the handlebar as a backup. I'm certain this driver only noticed me, because of my bright...

Not all unexpected events can be anticipated. When I landed headfirst helmeted during this (I admit highly unlikely) unexpected accident, I would have had a broken head as well as the broken wrist. Badgers are less expected than the Spanish Inquisition.

We're not all well behaved cyclists. I was surprised by no less than seven ebikes running a red light yesterday. Dizzying speeds can be reached on this particular hill.

Drivers are much worse at night, would be even riskier with a trailer IMHO. This azole screeched uphill turning right, after overtaking my bike too close and too fast before the traffic island. I'm trying different exposure modes, because my camera is confused by my bright headlight. I can't...

Does Lifa remove hair from your chest? If not, I may give it a go. I'd like to preserve my caveman rug if at all possible. It's why I usually use 100% wool or cotton thermals.

No need for pockets when you have werewolf legs, velcro sticks.
