If you can get LIPO and find a way to use them safely, I'd go with LIPO. I wish I would have gone with them. They are much more convenient in every way.

so you want to eliminate your car and commute by e-bike and your wife is putting you on a $600 limit? WTF. Doesn't she realize how much money you are going to save almost regardless of how much an e-bike costs? Even if you spent $2000, the e-bike would pay for itself after the first year...

Picking a bike seat is kind of counter-intuitive. For example, some might pick up a seat and squeeze the middle and since it is soft, they think "oh, what a great seat" but that's actually not true at all. For a man, especially, you don't want a seat that is really soft in the middle...

Lipo is the way to go on batteries but they need to be safer I think. I don't know if the bike thing will ever truely catch on in the midwest. It rains like everyday here. It's ridiculous. I can't imagine people riding a bike in the rain. I'm sorry but it's not going to be e-bicycles...

I just cleaned out my heatsink and cpu fan. I don't think that was the problem though because it's the same temperature now as it was before I cleaned it. Hey, is it possible to lose RAM ? I think I started with 1 GB and now it says 894 mb so maybe it's corrupted memory? I'm pretty sure...

you don't need to register Avast ...do a search on youtube for Avast registration key...I found a key on a video that still works !!!! hahaha. Didn't even have to give them my e-mail address. Ok, what I don't understand is how come no one has written an open source anti-virus program yet...

I hated AVG. I got Avast now and I'm happy. The thing with Avast is that it only use 2 processes and I think AVG had like 6 processes going. you can turn Avast off in the system tray and never even realize that you have an anti-virus running which is what I like. I never even know it's there.

my computer sometimes will just shut down now for no reason. I'll click to shut a program off and it will just shut down. Anyone know why it does that? It only happens about once a month. I re-installed windows and it's still happening.

I'll build you one !! lol. Those AMD Athlon II X2 245 CPUs are very fast. I always go AMD Athlon these days....those things are cheap and fast. They rival Intel now on speed I think. I could have built you an AMD Athlon with same stuff probably for half the price.

design a slide on, slide off mechanism for the LIPO. This can be done with the Topeak website. If you got some kind of small box and screwed this Fixer 6 on it....it will make a slide on and off mechanism for your LIPO. All you do is push the button and slide it off whenever you get to...

you won't want to take the motor hub back off once you get it on. It's a bigger pain installing it than you probably realize. It can be done in an hour or so but the hubs are heavy and those dropouts aren't really designed for e-bikes so you don't want to be moving the hub motor in and out...

the bike you chose is more like a racing bike. Have you thought about adding a smaller motor and putting on some lipo...keeping the weight light and having a very fast bike that you can still pedal easily? There are other guys who have gone that route. The small motors are ones like bafang...

The Ping's are only good for 1C unless they've improved their chemistry. You might go with a 48v15AH ping just to be sure. If you got a garage or some way to store them, I think LIPO is the way to go these days. Lots of people complaining about ping batteries on the forums.

There's guys on youtube making $300,000/yr . It's sick.

I love those Ping Pong Lifepo4 packs. lol
