... On a miserable rainy day you do not want to go fast. Rain in the face is unpleasant. And if you wear glasses, well seeing is a nice option at speed. You need proper rain gear. , Probably panniers also to store a the rain gear for the 60% of time you don't need it.Wearing a rucksack is a bad...

.. I am not big into car parts, but I suspect that 600w of additional load on an alternator may be excessive. My reading suggests that normal ones are rated at 55 to 75amp, and only special vehicles ( jeeps, mountain rescue, military) have larger rated ones for winches etc. So charging a...

.. a 15 minutes train ride might be 20 miles ..

.. Yes it seems to have a very low slung rack for the wheels, not any higher than towbar mounted unit so a good call..

... Good call, 600w one will allow you to use a power tool eg a drill or jigsaw as well as charging the battery. Note you would need to have either the van running or your solar panels assy charged , as the device will be drawing nearly 700w or nearly 70 amps at 12v ... very Thick cables at...

Flecc or Hussain?

..They are more suitable for indoor use . The piper would be ensconced in a stool and would be able to play for hours on end. I find it somewhat amusing that US and Canadian pagentry for "Irish" occasions use what we would see as Scottish kit.... Nothing against the Scots of course.

A 8 mile run would be very suitable and should take 30 minutes journey time. 15 mph is quite fast and even going up to 22 mph would not reduce it much. My suggestion is not to worry about dongles and just enjoy the extra few minutes . Any decent ebike will work for you . The major concern will...

... And where would you leave the Irish uillean pipes , with the day that is in it. .. Not for blowhards like the Scots, ours have a bellows worked by the elbow, hence the name, ... If you want to hear them played expertly listen to the " The Brendan Voyage ... " ..

... I have been doing some more reading and remembering. In the remember category, i once drove accross Ireland using a laptop computer in the car powered by one of those low cost inverters, and the laptops battery charger. The laptop was an adli purchased medion brand. I was using it as a GPS...

...... The result that the UK government has succeeded in passing their legislation to allow brexit is a masterful piece of tactical engineering. I disagree with the concept, the rationale, the methods employed and the likely end result, but must applaud the single minded strategy. She has...

.... The technology already exists,for the transfer .. just remove the saddle from the seat post and ride the bike as before... I will be expecting a 10% inventers fee for this essential innovativion.

.. i understand, but he might well spend more on chiropractice fees , lugging a heavyweight bike

That is an interesting link. The waveform shown is not what I would have understood as a modified sine wave . That is the ordinary square wave , there needs to be a dwell state at the end of each transition when all the driver transistors are in the off state in order to prevent a short of...

He is only going to be putting in 150 max per week . That's not excessive.

... Did you not consider throwing it at a 45 degree angle to the vertical rather than rolling it.. ?

.. The Thule unit I have is similar to that and will accept two ebikes.

Charging the ebike battery from the car van battery would be equivalent to having the main beam headlamps on full for 5 hours, .. not to be recommended unless the engine was running. At the risk of being facetious, nothing reduces range and performance more than a fully depleted battery, so...

.. a 40 minute walk is probably under 3 miles. This is the sweet spot for a low power ebike and a 12 minute cycle trip. Any of the commuter bikes will be suitable. If you intend taking it on and off trains, perhaps one with small wheels would be better. Compact bikes are easier to manage. In...

Phone battery chargers are in a different league, and some of the big name coffee shops supply the charging cable, not a connection to the mains. Laptops charging would be similar in power to bike batteries. What i had in mind was more the local coffee shops or greasy spoon restaurants, which...
