    fav. DIY spray on bed liner?

    I'm thinking I want to spray my bike w/ bed liner so it's more rough-n-tumble (/harder to shock the crap out of myself, etc.). Have a favorite? A thin coat is almost preferred, but maybe the really cheap stuff would be too thin?

    pocket bike to ebike & back (w/ vid)

    I couldn't figure any other good way to pedal the little pocket bike, so I'm making a pedgen attachment. I'm hoping it'll qualify as "working pedals" since I'm trying to be within the spirit of the law at least... The slack rusty chain can be brought up over the handle of the front-most...

    Is your ebike legal or not?

    There's lots of talk about the legal side of ebiking so I'm curious to see how many legal and illegal ebikes there are on ES. I think most people are running beyond the limits but it would be interesting to see what the ratio really is. This isn't the place to really discuss what is or isn't...

    I've got another 18ah SLA on order that I'll parallel w/ the 20ah SLA I have but I'm wondering if I can add a small A123 pack so it's harder to hit the LVC on takeoff/hills.

    High voltage and other signs?

    Anyone got a good warning sign on their bike? Is there a standard set? I guess I could look at the local hardware store when I'm in town again but maybe it's worth talking about... If I get in a wreck and I'm knocked out for some reason I don't want someone to die because they messed with my...

    Ideal lighting for push-trailer?

    My trailer will have an inverter on board so I'll have both ac and dc power sources, and can even use ac-dc converters for lower dc voltages and current levels. Obviously this can kill my potential range but it gives me a good opportunity to light the place up, so to speak. What kind of...

    Treadmill motor push trailer

    In theory the treadmill motor can run up to 2hp (treadmill-duty) which is about 1.4kw. It weighs 9lbs. I got a Minarik MM23001C scr speed controller which is also rated to about 1.4kw (if cooled). I already had a cheap 350w (700w peak) inverter. I also have a 20ah 12v VRLA battery and charger...
