    Elevator to space?

    Well, why not build it at one of the earth's poles, so that it isn't moving at 17,000 miles per hour. And how about using readily available material to create a tower, which would reach way up there? Oh yeah, the material would be seawater, frozen in massive layers, one on top of the other...

    Forget it, I'm done!

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming that you're referring to the Zero packs. Here's a link to the Spec page for the 2012 models. I'm also assuming that these new offerings will have the NMC packs. http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/zero-ds/specs.php Incredible mileage to 80% capacity...

    Forget it, I'm done!

    Went to the Zero motorcycle site and they sell their Li Ion battery with charger for $2,995.99 which fits two of their motorcycles. Could'nt find any spec info on the site for the battery though. http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=10 Gary

    A123 20AH cells source?

    Thanks for clarifying that boostjuice. Just didn't anyone to get stuck if it were so, as I've read discussion recently on ES about some ebay venders selling those types of cells. Gary

    A123 20AH cells source?

    If you look at the page under "Descripiton", you will see this which makes me a bit suspicious "The 20Ah use the new HD electrode design, offering even higher capacity than the traditional ANR26650M1 design." http://a123rc.com/goods-468-Excitingly+Powerful+A+123+20ah+PRISMATIC+CELLS.html I...

    LI-ion NiCoMn Battery from BMSBattery

    An ES member itselectric sells NiCoMn batteries, but I've never been able to locate detailed pack/cell specifications on his site http://us.itselectric.ca/LiFePO4_ebike_Li_Ni_Mn_Co_02_NiCd_NiMH_Phosphate_s/48.htm I don't know if they are the same cells as bmsbatttey uses or if the cells he...

    LI-ion NiCoMn Battery from BMSBattery

    Mystery to be solved here, because the 48V 10ah battery has a 2c continuous rating http://www.bmsbattery.com/48v/166-48v-10ah-lithium-ion-electric-bicycle-battery-pack.html Do you suppose the batteries are 2c (or more) capable, but they're using the same stupid one version fits all BMS on the...

    Battery Packs - Where to buy them

    Welcome to ES guys. The batteries at joyfay.com appear to be Codd Power Soft Series batteries http://www.coddpower.com/pack-16s.html It also seems that there has been some difficulty buying directly from Codd Power, although one ES member was able to find a price list on their site, which shows...

    Would you trade your 10K bike for the stealth bomber?

    Someone I knew got back to me and said that they always remember a "rule of thumb" I gave them. If you spend a lot of time sleeping, then buy a nice bed. If you like to cook a lot, then buy nice cookware and outfit your kitchen. If you watch a lot of TV then buy a great TV. Way too many...

    Fort Collins e-bike rider collides with Expedition

    Well, it looks to me like there's a lot of factors that go into determining if a helmet is necessary or advisable. Know thyself, seems appropriate in assessing the risks involved! Some people have a little black cloud that follows them around and you just know that something bad is going to...

    Fort Collins e-bike rider collides with Expedition

    Ouch! ... Helmets offer big protection, not small ... once an accident occurs! Yes, pretend that you don't have a helmet on and stay super alert, but don't kid yourself, once in an accident they significantly reduce head injury. It's not small protection when that happens ... it's big...
