  • A used Aventon abound would cover most of that. I paid about $2K for mine new a couple years ago, so used should be at least in the ballpark. I have about 3000 miles on mine now.

    Top speed about 24mph with current firmware, but you also have to replace the freewheel, the stock one is 14T which isn't small enough, the drift maniac freewheel on Amazon is 11T and direct replacement.

    I have panniers plus the front rack, I regularly do the grocery run with it.

    Not class 3, but class 2+, it's throttle will go to 20mph but with the freewheel you can pedal faster, I regularly do. With lights and such I tend to average around 19mph.

    Plenty of torque for a trailer, I have one that's rated to 100lbs capacity. I've overloaded it to 120 (3 40lb bags of salt) plus groceries in the panniers. I've probably carried 200lbs between the bike and trailer. Not at 24mph tho ;)

    Removable battery, with just me at about 200lbs dressed at top speed I get about 30 miles of range, but I don't push it that far.

    Standard lower end bike parts, like anything else you'll find in this price range. Shimano Altus derailleur.

    Handlebar folds down, but it's a big bike, 20" cargo style. Somewhere around 100lbs with racks and panniers.

  • Pi camera in high humidity? Case?

    Jump

  • Yeah I was looking for a camera specific case, but I probably need to expand my search a bit. Maybe a more generic box of some sort.

    Edit to add - This looks ideal, I just needed to think outside the box a bit more :)

  • Yeah, this is backwards. Heat tolerant, take ongoing damage to cold.

  • EV owners... What is your opinion?

    Jump

  • All new cars have the same problems. Mediocre interiors for the price, spyware, and rent seeking behavior for stuff like automated highway driving.

    100%. It sucks, the prices are insane. Ours was insane. And those issues apply to all new cars, regardless of fuel.

  • EV owners... What is your opinion?

    Jump

  • We have a Hyundai Ioniq 6, about 18 months now. It has a touchscreen like all EVs (I know, there's a truck) but it still has a lot of physical buttons, unlike a Tesla which has gone way too far with the screen. We tried the Mustang and liked it, but liked this better, plus my wife wanted a sedan.

    Biggest pro is it's not a Tesla. Also, I get home, plug it in, and go inside. Takes five seconds, and five more to unplug it. Plus, it's not a Tesla. Way less time than it takes at the gas station to fill my truck. It's also fast, a lot of fun to drive, and finally, it's not a Tesla.

    Con would be road-tripping. If I was doing a ton of that, I'd be perhaps looking for an EREV of some sort, although 20-80% in 20 min isn't exactly horrible. Charger is CCS, but sometime this month Hyundai is sending me an NACS adapter, so no more issues there - we did have one time where we had to wait for CCS when a NACS was open, but not exactly a massive issue. The new models are NACS.

    Forgot to mention, in US, range about 300 miles or so, and there was a sensor issue that ended up with a harness replacement that didn't cost me anything under warranty, but had an estimate of $8500.

  • Perfect. Ordered my parts, odds are I'm going to end up building a dozen of these. Thanks!

  • Cheaper is good. No issues with it being wireless? Or do you add a wired Ethernet adapter for this use case?

  • Bike Helmets: Stupid Hat or Essential Protection?

    Jump

  • I wear a helmet. Either I'm mountain biking, or I'm in a bike lane along cars, where I'm riding in the 22-25mph range and the cars are in the 45-50mph range. If I get directly run into, it probably won't make a lot of difference, but if I get clipped/knocked down, way more likely, it quite likely will.

    I don't think they should be mandatory, but it does bring up the same arguments that get made about motorcycles - if you don't wear one and you crash, will the (horrible, shitty, awful, stupid, American) insurance industry try to reduce their liability? Rhetorical question, of course they will.
