Spotted this item for sale on eBay, which made me chuckle and brightened up my day :D Bent banana for sale

Sometimes, when a seller's stock levels get low on an item, they inflate the price to an unreasonable level to put off buyers from purchasing. This will help prevent the listing from ending early. Once a listing ends, the number of 'items sold' shown for that listing resets to zero. An item that...

Crikey Allan, you bear an uncanny resemblance to that 'my name is Earl' guy. Maybe you should pose as a celebrity lookalike and earn some easy cash :D

That's four very unobservant potential customers up to now :p Reminds me of the listings that used to go on for a picture of a new Xbox. Desperate to get their hands on a newly marketed console, buyers would gloss over the description. Mmmmmm, guess what they got for their 400 quid :eek...

I'm thinking of going into business refilling existing packs myself. Here's a taster of the eBay description I'm planning to use. Critique away :p ' I will refill your battery pack with any old useless, past their date, generic batteries that are lying around in my shed. No BMS and really...

The hand written note doesn't exactly inspire buyer confidence either lol

Why oh why do people continue to advertise dodgy home made batteries/refilling services like this? Sadly, a potential time bomb just waiting to blow up in the buyer's face :eek: Dodgy Battery Packs R US

The missus bought something similar to this for her iPad and I would say it cuts out most of the glare, but it doesn't turn the screen totally matte.

Lol, you might be right flecc. Was just wondering whether a vehicle like this was a compromise between a racing motorbike and something like a Caterham. Or maybe it has an advantage over the bike due to better cornering and over a Caterham due to lighter weight.

Just out of interest, has anyone driven a three wheeled track type car like the one in the link? Not Del Boy's van lol. What's the handling like?

I was thinking more chiseled than ugly ;)

Saw this over on eBay US and just love the looks of the all black one. Plus it's 100% electric :) Torq Carbon F1 Inspired Roadster Bet it would beat a Twizy in a race lol

Thought I'd bump this thread, coz I really hope someone is going. I'll be too busy busking in the town centre, earning pennies for my next build, to be there myself :(

Professor Brian Cox has taught you all well....

I was wondering, if I replace my quantum leap relay resistor with a modulated flux capacitor in my controller, would that increase the torque of the motor?

Wow, I never even realised Oxygen had changed the style of their bikes. Wasn't really that keen on the behind the seatpost battery. They look uber cool now :)

That is unlucky mate. Need to know how well the torque sensor integrates with the controller. If it's better, then I might wait for the torque sensor version, instead of the current cadence type, until I start my crank drive build.

If anyone is going to the show, would you mind seeing if Bafang are exhibiting their BBSxx motors with torque sensors please. There's rumours that they might be showing these off this year. D8veh, I know you'll be there lol Fingers crossed :)

You should take a look at what the crazy dudes get up to over on Endless Sphere. Some of the member's builds are pure genius, especially the guys that rig out cars with electric motors. Some bloke is fitting a Chevrolet Volt lithium battery pack to a 1997 Solectria Force car. An interesting...

I was fairly lucky with Paul's MAC kit. An initial noobie mistake of not connecting the extra red controller power lead. Also a loose screw in the motor housing produced a clicking sound during use. Both rectified quickly and Paul sent a replacement gear assembly very quickly, without any fuss...
