That is interesting, looks like it could work, how difficult is the setup on this?

That is a neat bike. I would guess that you don't want to overpower that hub motor too much. The fact that it is single speed means that it will easily get bogged down and take lots of battery to keep it rolling. The more you help it along the better, but your starts will be slow with the track...

The economics will change the paradigm. Then the economics will change. Electric car adoption taking place too quickly means that electricity costs will increase, assuming we can keep the grids together. All the economic benefits gained early adoption of BEVs will be gone once they are the norm...

How do you like the leaf? They are almost cheap enough now that they could be worth it. I could save $160 a month driving it to work and back, which still takes a long time to make economic sense, but it is getting close. Have you ever used it in V2L mode? If so what are your thoughts on this...

I would like to permanently install a Victron 75/10 mppt to our vehicles starting battery. This will give me a nice bluetooth battery monitor as well as the ability to keep the battery topped off with a small panel. It can also be used as a switch through the load connection. My only concern...

Try https://www.rexelusa.com I believe that you should be able to pick them up in person if it anything like our Platt Electric, which seems to be the same company with different names in different parts of the US.

https://a.co/d/hoxAKv6 If you aren't set on dvr/poe cameras these have their own battery and solar panel. They are self sustaining if you mount the solar panel in a reasonable place. I know that these are totally different, but using this style of camera allows use much smaller system. We run...

Platt has been good for me. Call them on the phone and see what they can do for you, then you can just drive there and pick them up, assuming you have an suv, truck or trailer anyway. I can't believe some of the shipping costs on these things.

Freedom does come with responsibility, and we exercise that responsibility every time we successfully pilot an automobile in a safe manner. What I mean here is that if our local government puts solar on a building, it is just offsetting hydroelectric power from the grid. The turbines at the dam...

Do you have a way to isolate the charge controller from the batteries once sun goes down?

I would guess that it will work fine once you have a good battery of some kind. That is a very neat frame design. Like you said, $70 + just for those tires. What a find. You can order 3d printed battery sockets to fit common tool batteries on amazon for $20 or so. I would also try to find a...
