    Epsom salt in lead-acid batteries?

    A guy at work was telling me that he keeps his trolling motor batteries alive for years using a mixture of epsom salt and distilled water. The mix he uses is ten heaping tablespoons to one quart of water. I was thinking, 'well...maybe' until he mentioned that he drains the liquid out of the...

    Build a bicycle dynamometer (I think I know how)

    Here's an idea that I've been pondering for years now. I doubt if I'll ever build it myself. I just don't see much need for it for me. (though now that I'm feeling inspired to maybe some day engineer my own e-bike, who knows?) But it ought to be cheap enough. And some of you guys who...

    Currie e-zip Trailz

    It's hard to believe that there's no review thread for this model bike here. I almost think I contributed to one. But if so, I can't find it now. So I guess I'll start a new one. Mine is a 2008 diamond frame model. I bought it at a local Wal-Mart. This particular store stocks them on...

    Finally, I'm Almost There......(E-zip Trailz)

    "Finally, I'm Almost There" has a double meaning in this case (triple when you count it as a Fiat diss); Last week I found myself thinking that as I approached my destinations. I don't know if it was the cold temperatures or that my batteries are getting old, but I certainly did not have the...

    An anti-corrosion experiment. (early stage)

    I've always used Armor-all as a corrosion fighter on my bikes. I just spray it everywhere. It keeps the bike clean and non-rusting. The only problem is that I'm all the time running out to get another quart. The cost is not exactly a killer, it's mostly the need to go to the store. But if I...

    Gotta build my wife a new bike (again......!)

    My wife and I are closing in on our twentieth anniversary. Though our personalities clash in some ways, we've somehow managed to be pretty happy and even, occasionally, co-operative. My one big, big disappointment has been my inability to convince her to ride a bicycle. She "doesn't like it"...

    Might run the Ezip Trailz at 12V. Thoughts?

    I'm thinking of stepping down to 12 Volts on my Currie Ezip Trailz. I really don't need 450 watts of power. I'm a strong pedal-er. It's my belief, correct me if I'm wrong, that the stock "battery" is really just a case that holds two 12 volt cells. (I probably won't use the actual cells in...
