what do you want to know

@ganeshgaitonde3661 gonna try to. Had a big ride yesterday that was pretty awesome.

hey i appreciate it man. i'm so conflicted. i want to add more batteries and panels but then its like... ok thats going to make it bigger which is going to make it more complex and heavier... which means its not going to be as easy to ride and use more power.... but this works fine for my application..... but more... no keep it simple.... but more!!! lol

hey, thank you, i appreciate it

@@LeonardHarris hey, thanks

@@RidingonBooks-iq9ik Thank you. This might be the only way I get through some of these scriptures.

lol

i keep riding year round. i can unplug the panel if i need to keep it from charging. i've been meaning to put a switch on it or maybe even a thermostatic switch so that it doesnt charge below 40 or so. i'm fortunate though because i have a garage i can park in overnight to keep the battery above freezing.

@@RidingonBooks-iq9ik Thanks for your reply. Unplugging makes sense. A thermostatic switch is a great idea.

thanks again :)

Thank you so much 😀

our personnel have not invaded big R however our munitions, intelligence and targeting have. but ssshhh its a big secret, big R's military and leadership will never be able to figure out it is the US that is supplying there adversary

@thisorthat7626 it's a newpowa 9bb. It's on amazon for 78$ at the moment. Sometimes goes on sale for 65. The Parkview rear camera is awesome. Makes riding on the road much more comfortable. I try to update pretty regularly. I hope you enjoy the videos. If you would subscribe I'd really appreciate it.

@@RidingonBooks-iq9ik Thank you for the info. I will subscribe. :)

@@thisorthat7626 hey, i appreciate it

Food is an issue. Self defense is an issue. Water and sanitation is an issue. I don't know if or how things will go down. Nothing happened before. But even though nothing happened before. I've enjoyed the solar ebike every day since.. We all have to decide how we prepare for our future and there are no hard and fast rules. Only the results in hindsight.

@RidingonBooks-iq9ik in the 70s, my friends and I realised the southwest tip of Australia with huge desert across Australia. Blocking access from the millions was the best place. Regular rainfall and adequate soils and fishing on the shore. Fortunately, those in charge never allowed the extreme to happen. Yes, enjoy the now. Build for the future.

its already illegal in a lot of places weather you have solar panels or even want electricity or not. in CA all structures have to be hooked to the grid regardless of any circumstances.

@RidingonBooks-iq9ik yes. You would be right. A Habitation certificate for your new home would require utilities. I have suggested DIY rooftop PV but not connected to the grid.

@LeonardHarris hey I appreciate it man

@skyl4rk it really depends on range. The rule of thumb is that ebikes use about 20w of power per mile. Depending on rider and speed of course.

@stephenbrickwood1602 oh I've said for years if I were king I would mandate solar roofs on all new construction with built in battery backup of some sort. Make there be major incentives for retrofitting all existing structures. If you are an area like new york city or something, mandate lowspeed diesel generators for every building. Even if you had to have a guy go around doing fuel deliveries it would be more efficient than the power grid.

@RidingonBooks-iq9ik let me suggest that customers with rooftop PV can overgenerate and be suppliers to the grid. AC electricity is always flowing in 2 directions. Hahaha. Today, EV battery technologies are evolving rapidly and are 'free' with the vehicle. Hahaha As nuclear promoters say, UTILIZATION FACTOR of your asset is the most important matter. Full use of your oversized EV battery, even when it is parked 23 hours every day and all night long, is smart economics. Battery technologies are evolving rapidly in lifetime performance and costs. When the EV battery needs replacing, it will be much cheaper and better battery. With modern battery management, battery life is way longer than expected. So, not even diesel will be needed. Sunny Southern States would love to supply / sell electric energy into the colder North. Canada has many nuclear electricity generators and would love to sell electricity to the big cities 😀 Just burning some fossil fuels in mid winter weeks would be a small problem. Existing furnaces can be mothballed for emergency backup. Nobody is thinking my way on the big picture stuff, but simple engineering maths tells me I am right. And people are starting to think about it in a better way. Love your work. 👍 PS. My suggestion maintains grid cash flow as heavy industrial customers can take the excess electricity and the old customer's remains grid connected as a backup at times and sell into the grid.

i adjusted it using the gps on my phone. you just have to go into the ebikes settings

its hard. when i'm editing the volume level is fine, maybe even a little quiet. once it compiles and uploads its just booming. not sure what the deal is. it was already like 1130 last night when i was exporting i just ran out of time to fix it.

hey i appreciate it

the deal with the ebike being able to do what it does is because its so light and small. i keep wanting to add more to it, more range, more charging. but the more you add the more power it consumes and you kind of start chasing your tail. i dont think ebikes replace the family car. people should still have the family car or at least have access to easy rentals but for commuting and small trips to the stores or visiting friends or just wanting to get out. the ebike is where its at. stay small, light and slow, keep it simple and inexpensive and accessible

@stephenbrickwood1602 hey I appreciate it

@@RidingonBooks-iq9ik just more thoughts from an old Construction Civil Engineer Contractor. To be untethered can mean a lot of things in mental health circles. Often it is referred to as one not being grounded or tethered to reality. Nuclear electricity can only replace fossil fuels if 7 times more electricity and 7times more national electricity grid. Grids cost 10 times more than nuclear power plants. Promoters mean 7 times more spend on generation and 70 times more on grid capacity. They are not construction engineers, they have not worked in this infrastructure area. Worldwide it is an insane economically impossible and must include all the exploding military defence budgets. But all they talk about is the precious little uranium metal and heat.

oh i totally agree. nuclear is not a solution for much really. fossil fuel is vital for so many things. roads, tires, oils, paints, natural gas makes furtilizer which is a little important if anybody cares to eat. i'm not even against gas and diesel, just use them when they make sense, trucking, diesel makes sense. family car that holds 4 or 6 people and is used for trips over 40 miles, gas makes sense. a single person commuting 5 or 10 miles to work...... the spotlight is on electric. people should keep there family car for long trips with multiple people or when they need to carry weight. but every house and every building should be covered in solar panels with some kind of edison battery somewhere on the property this is the perfect use for large Nife batteries

@@RidingonBooks-iq9ik you exactly right on all points. In Australia 20million vehicles and 1million new each year means 20years to replace. Same for all countries I would think. Nobody is talking about the grid except the nuclear promoters when they bs about. They half talk and leave the conclusions of what they say unsaid. My old engineer friend is on national TV at times and he should know better. He got lost in the 80s with nuclear wet dreams, and did his Masters in Nuclear technology. Little else was available. Today he pisses me off. He is a good family man but wrong and so dangerous to his grandchildren. No grid youtube on this particular impossible cost matter. So I copy what I say and save it, and then repost or rewite the main facts. But as you know it is the way you tell a story. I have decades in construction and I am free to open my mouth. Grid engineers know I am right but their company will make a lot of money if people like me keep their mouth shut. They all need their jobs, mortgage etc.

i feel like we are essentially saying the same thing. the reason the grid is so inefficient is because of the long distances power has to be pumped between its source and its load. if the grid is littered with sources and loads it becomes much more efficient and balancing. i'm not really into the idea of all the huge batteried riding around with everybody. its just so much weight to carry and to accelerate and slow down. for trips that are over 40 miles just use a gas vehicle. keep your power supply at the house and your main power generation at the house. if we could just start over with the power grids design with a clean sheet of paper so much could be done. but.... gotta change hearts and minds, one person at a time. individual power production and consumption is a better more efficient more freeing design. just have to move hearts back in the direction of individual freedom and responsability. i dont know if you've subscribed yet but i would love to have you.

If all electricity and NO fossil fuels, then the grid solution means the grid has to be 7 TIMES bigger. Efficiency is a very small part. Efficient use of resources and finance was always the limitations on grid construction. The grid is just off broke because it was always too expensive to overbuild. Now nuclear promoters say save the climate go nuclear but only use existing national grid. They offer a small part solution that screws up the grid economics. As you say, the grid must not be monopolised by the nuclear promoters. The grid must be protected and used to balance and backup the millions and millions and millions of customers. You are right. The daily drive is 1 hour, including traffic jams. A backup long distant battery you plug in for the long trip or drive might make sense. Batteries may be getting less heavy as well with new technology

@@RidingonBooks-iq9ik more grid discussion is extremely important. Big investors like Rupert Murdoch and Bill Gates and others want to park $BILLIONS in government guaranteed monopolies in Australia. 60years of government guaranteed cash flows.

i'm conflicted on the angled panel. i think the angled panel is more efficient for charging. there is a zip code calculator you can google that will give you the proper solar incidence angle for your area. where i am its 15degrees in summer and 45 degrees in winter. this bikes kickstand holds the bike straight up and down. most kickstands hold the bike at an angle so you can tilt the bike in the direction of the sun. as far as aero goes i think the impact is minimal because it still presents the same frontal area to the wind regardless of tilt angle. thats said i'm sitting in front of it anyway acting as a block in front of it. what bike are you looking to build whats the details? if you need anything just let me know

@@RidingonBooks-iq9ik i understand, while you are riding it depends on your direction, but that averages out the efficiency. If its stationairy it makes sense to angle it properly for your location. I am converting a fischer montis 2.1 (i think its only available jn germany), still thinking about a lot of small details for example if i should Charge the e bike battery direvtly with a mppt charge controller (solar->mppt->bike) or add a powerstation for convenience and storage in between (solar->powerstation->bike) which reduces efficiency tho.

@@RidingonBooks-iq9ik also i am using a 50w flexible solar which is very light and small so im thinking of keeping it efficient / small by using the mppt version

@@TreeSurfer-wh4ui for my use case, i only really care about charging when parked. any charge that happens to occur while riding is just bonus charge. my bike is a commuter though so i mostly ride when the sun wouldnt be charging anyway. at work all it has to do is sit and charge. if you ride mostly during peak sun then flat would make more sense. that said i think i'm going to build a storage box for this like i have for the yellow bike so that i have a place to store lunch and helmet and coats and whatever i need to take with me....... or maybe i'll keep the angle and just seal in the sides of what is already there....... hummmmm

@@skyl4rk hasn't been blown over yet. Soft dirt is my bigger concern

lol, thats how i feel about it! my general rule of thumb is if you're going less than about 40 miles round trip the ebike is where its at. i had planned to do a box build today but ran out of time. i have another one coming out tomorrow though. gives a little bit of my history with ebikes and the basic rundown of this bike.

@@skyl4rk oh hey, do you run the trailer often? How does having the panel on a trailer work out for you?

@@RidingonBooks-iq9ik I have not been riding much lately. The trailer works fine as a charger, I usually see about 3 amps, same as my plug in charger. Thats with the panel flat and not angled to the sun.

@@skyl4rk this one tops out at about 1.7 on a really good day but normally 1.5 which is about right. my plan is to put a box on this one so i have a better place to store my lunch and coat and gloves and all my junk when i'm moving around. the panner bags work ok but are hard to use with the panel there. my plan is to make a box like the yellow bike has but shorter.

hey, i appreciate it man

lol

really great video*

@@latenighttalkshoww thank you so much. I appreciate the support

yeah, i'm using a new editor. when i was editing it was perfect. once i got it exported and uploaded to youtube i listened to it and i was like EEEEEAAAAAAAAA. unhappy. it did the same thing on my sailing video. i'm trying to figure it out, its definitely upsetting me.

@@RidingonBooks-iq9ik It will all work out! Sending you good energy!

i definitely have plans for those videos. i just really suck at making videos lol. i'm getting better but i dont have a bunch of cameras like i would really need to make those videos more watchable. but they are being planned right now actually. i've built a few bikes now and it seems like there are a couple of different types of chargers. 1 bike you can just charge right through the charging port. the other 2 i actually had to take apart the battery because the charger that comes with it is some sort of pulse width modulated charger and the batteries wouldnt accept the charge going through the regular port. i figured it out but what a hassle. videos to come though

hey i appreciate it

i agree..... but it doesnt seem to be going anywhere

@jensbekaert166 I use the bike as my work commuter. During the day the bike is at work with me. I could get a fold out panel but those are a hassle to set up and would be easy to steal. Another thing that was annoying to me is remembering to plug in and charge or having to take the battery out and take it upstairs to charge on my solar panels. With the panel mounted on the bike there isn't any extra work, just park it somewhere sunny, and it charges. When I'm ready to ride, just get on and ride. Even without the panel the battery gives me a comfortable range of about 60 miles. With the panel there's just not really a need to ever plug in and recharge unless im trying to ride hundreds of miles per week. Clearly that's not my average week though. Hey, thanks for the question and I appreciate you watching.

once you take a second to think about things its pretty simple. but if you just hear about biofuels a person might not really take the time to dig into the actual numbers are. so heres a video

Thank you for taking the time to do the research and sharing your findings.

indeed

working on it lol

@skyl4rk hey I appreciate it. Looks like you have a nice setup. Is that a 200w panel?

@@RidingonBooks-iq9ik Yes, it is an Allpowers 200W flexible panel.

@@skyl4rk cool man, take it easy out there, if you wouldnt mind i could really use more subs..lol

​@@RidingonBooks-iq9ik OK, I will try to get the word out.

lol, thanks
