I'm a little biased, "live in Colorado" but I would vote for Pikes Peak. Colorado, springs is not the greatest place in the world, but they do have Garden of the Gods right there and it is Colorado, lots of mountains. If you plan on doing this anytime before June, the weather can be sketchy...

A Peltier system could definitly work, especially since your outside air is so called it would do a good job of keeping the cool side of the Peltier element cool and allowing the TEC to operate more efficiently. You could theoretically use it to cool in the summer time, but I would not recommend...

UPDATE: Well I did finally finish this project early last June, but then had too many other things going on to finish my post about all the trials and tribulations of getting this back together and operational. I drove it all summer and put another 1000 miles on it until about the middle of...

Good call, completely missed that one. Thanks, Ed

That is one bad ride! Wish I had a welder and the skills to go with it. Amazing Job!

Teslanv had opened a store in the US to distribute these state side. Here is the link, you could probably PM him too. http://kinaye-motorsports.myshopify.com Ed

Not sure whether you need to subscribe to OnStar for Voltstats to work. When I purchased my car last year GM gave me 3 free years of OnStar so I don't know if it would work without it or not, I would imagine not, but don't quote me. Regarding where you live there are some charging stations...

There are three stations that have opened in the last year. Two are run by the City of Golden and I am imagining they get some tax breaks or are looking to better their image by doing this. The third station is at a new apartment complex that was opened last year. I was using this station from...

I had built a battery enclosure actually two for my bike out of .25" Delrin for the main body of the enclosure and .187" Textured ABS for the Side panels which gives it a finished look, plus doesn't show scratches as easily. To assemble I used a special stainless screw meant for grabbing in...

I would like to see a thread on that build with some photos, along with a pic of your smile :shock: as you twist the throttle. Ed

Does anyone know what was the outcome of this trip? Doesn't seem like any additional information after week # 5 in Minnesota. Just Curious :? Ed

Still loving my 2015. I finally had to refill the gas after 4941 miles. Only cost me $21 to fill the tank and now I am over 6200 miles and only $21 invested in fuel. On top of this, two Charge Point stations have opened up in Golden, CO close to where I work and both of them are completely free...

I have a small air horn running directly off my battery like teklektik had mentioned early, because as he had mentioned you only need your horn every so often. The air horn draws almost 8 Amps, but it is used for a second or less at a time and is only there in the need of an emergency when...

No problem on the pics, I feel I owe it to the community with all the great information I have acquired over the past two years. It has made my building much easier. I am planning on installing only 1 40/30/7 bearing for three reasons. Whether these are good reasons I don't know. 1: Cost of...

Latest Update. I received my two new ceramic bearings this week from VXB Bearing in California. I gave the large bearing, axle and the side cover with the brake mount to a machinist today so he can mill the larger opening for the new bearing. Keeping my fingers crossed it turns out well since I...
