Hi Troy I followed your 4400 mile US cross-country trip in 2014 and thoroughly enjoyed the regular vlog. I felt inspired to do something similar within the UK, but that plan was scuppered when the young'uns came along shortly after. When I looked into the viability of outdoors guerilla charging wit...

When I plan out my route, I just go to Google Maps and go to Street View and see what you can see. Gas Stations with outlets is an obvious choice Grocery Stores Corner Stores Hey here is a good one, for countries with snow and winter, parking lots with stall outlets. tWhat I think you should do is ...

Yeha there isn't a whole lot of outdoor exposed outlet ls like in the US, but that will only make it more fun.

I had a 5kwh bike battery in 2009, so I'm aware of how to make a large battery... It's just not always necessary.

What you're describing is a bit more like an $80k Bimota, rather than a 16k BMW. A decent road bike costs around $1500 brand new. These bikes do exist but they use technology which is far beyond the point of diminishing returns.

Just added the "nextcharge" and "Chargemap" apps to my phone. It seems that particularly with the chargemap app, once the appropriate filters are selected, it does a pretty good job showing available outlets.

This is not an easily-googlable problem. Since we need ordinary outlets and not car charging stations it's a bit more difficult. I should mention that using Zap-Map and open-Charge-Map I have been able to find a few. But they're pretty few and far between. I'm really looking for general advice for t...

This trip is so inspiring! What an awesome group! This is the kind of stuff that got me excited about ebikes in the first place and it rejuvenates my love for ebike tech (and life really). Keep rowing!

Next week my wife and I are heading to Glasgow to start a month-long ebike journey throughout the UK. Though I have had great success opportunity charging throughout the US (see my 2014 trip), I suspect that this will be considerably more difficult in the UK and Europe. We'll be riding two of my Max...

Forever an inspiration, along for the ride again yay! I mean... who else?

Do these have UN 38.3? Are you able to ship in the US?

It looks like quite a nice setup.

Bummer, I used Subsilver 2 as well. Back to Subsilver and it's OK, but it will take some getting used to. The problem with some of the other themes is that they're just crazy laggy and slow! I didn't expect that. Anyway, I'm sure we'll all get used to it either way, thanks for your work and diligence.

From my understanding, there is not a true "stream" of data. However, you can poll it using modbus serial. The controller is based on the accelerated systems BAC series controller, and they have some good documentation for this.

Oh yeah, my favorite scooter jut got more interesting.. at least some places in the world

P.S. I want to see this data such that it is not normalized to the full charge capacity at each temp, aka absolutely capacity, to see where the crossover points are.

It's important to note that the discharge at lower temperatures is not likely causing the cycle life degradation as much as charging is. You can kind of think of it like this, the lower the temperature, the lower the effective C rate. This means that charging at 1C is more like charging at 5C at low...

Gah! That's awesome! I've been manually backing out the human power by moving the slider around to account for the difference between the load line and motor output, but this is way easier and precise!

This is going to pretty!

The key questions to ask are: 1. 3000 cycles at what charge rate 2. 3000 cycles at what voltage (IE 4.15/4.25 etc) 3. 3000 cycles at what discharge profile/temperature (less important) how much actual capacity is usable It's not hard to get 3000 cycles out of even old LiMn cells so long as the charg...

Hope you feel better man.

I love the integrated CA on proto 3! Can't wait

Cars are always needlessly complicated my friend

I'm in upstate new york. I can ship them certainly. Let's call it $30 to TN.

Thanks.

Gah! You're right! Typo!
