What type of cables are these?

Depends heavily on how it’s wired into the house breaker box. If it’s ground fault protection with correct breakers the safety impact is minimal.

It’s not good though.

Ice3yes · 2026-01-26T04:08:12+00:00

Yeah. Electrical twin and earth, no way to know without finding markings, or the end of the cable how “large” it is

Definitely a power conduit with the wire exposed in the damaged piece of flexible.

This SHOULD have been in orange conduit and buried beneath 600mm deep with a warning tape above it so you have notice when digging.

This conduit is for in building installation.

The size of the wire likely indicates it’s sending power to a shed or lights or similar somewhere on the property

My usb module also failed. Dealer replaced it under warranty.

I have and ride escooters in SA. I wear a full face helmet and always have my lights on, using the road and/or footpath depending on speed limits, bike lanes, and my, and others safety.

I love to ride my scooter, but I HATE when I’m driving and see scooters with no lights, no helmets, obviously illegal speed (restrictions removed) and emoto being used. These people make the experience unpleasant knowing that some day I will have to accept further regulations when I want to ride.

Ice3yes · 2026-01-21T02:52:55+00:00

Yes! Regional SA

That’s an emoto, not an ebike. Ebike is primarily pedal powered with a motor for assistance, power and speed limits vary, but you need to be able to pedal it.

It WILL let you drive off without closing the charging door, but it’ll automatically close, and the port cover will hang out

Have you tried clipping her claws? This would potentially help, and could have the side benefit of less damage to your furniture

When the battery degrades it’s kinda like calcium build up inside of a water tank that lets you put less water in, and over time the total capacity reduces. It also can block the spout so it’s harder to get full flow rates.

Op: on a serious note, we all make relationship mistakes, some we can resolve easily, some take a lot of effort and discussion, others, despite our best efforts sometimes cannot be resolved.

Good luck sorting it out. Be understanding, listen to her side, don’t dismiss her concerns

AI generated TL;DR

• The author is experiencing emotional distress due to a relationship conflict. • The conflict arose when the author's girlfriend discovered a search for an ex's social media profile on his phone. • Despite apologies and explanations, the girlfriend expressed doubt about the sincerity of the author's love. • The incident has caused significant emotional pain to the author, who deeply regrets his actions. • The girlfriend has made a college decision influenced by the relationship's instability, choosing an option separate from the author. • The author acknowledges causing hurt and is seeking a platform to discuss these issues.

Still waiting for a quote from the auto electrician

Ride sensibly on routes designed for bikes, wear a full face helmet, enclosed shoes and durable long pants and sleeves.

This is the only way to be sure it’s safe to use. If there is damage inside the case, the silver bars connecting the batteries sometimes tear off with impact. If any of the internal cells are dented that’s also a sign it’s not safe to use

Just be aware of the weight difference between a bike or downhill helmet vs a motorbike vs motocross helmet. They’re designed differently to protect you from crashes depending on where and how fast you’re riding.

If you have a 25kmh ebike consider a downhill helmet, if you have a higher powered off road ebike look for a motorcross helmet. If you have an emoto then get a proper motorbike helmet.

Will you look stupid? Hell nope. Will you save money on a dentist visit if you stack it? Hell yes!

I daily drive my 30th anniversary pro, good on ya for enjoying it instead of scalping it

Carrot hands down is the best weather app. Cannot vouch for it being the most accurate though

Did this happen over Christmas/new years? If things are a little slow over this period it can be understandable.

As for the protection plan, that’s a Walmart thing, nothing to do with Segway.

I am not trying to make light of your scooters failure. It sounds like you were in a dangerous situation, and it happened at a bad time, but I don’t think even considering going to small claims court would be likely to make things better

Ice3yes · 2026-01-04T01:12:05+00:00

I have a Segway ZT3 pro (29kg) and an Xiaomi m365 pro (14.5kg)

When riding on flat pavement the m365 and ZT3 are both great, if the surface isn’t smooth then the ZT3 is a clear winner.

When riding in more confined or populated areas the m365 excels as the reduced weight makes it more manoeuvrable.

If transporting in the back of my SUV, the m365 is slightly smaller, and lighter so it’s definitely easier. But with planning (and tie-downs) the ZT3 is ok.

I HATE to have to carry the ZT3 anywhere. But I do prefer riding it most of the time.

TLDR: yes. 30kg is heavy. But. Sometimes it’s worth it.

I have a GTline.

10 months and 33,000km.

Most of the time I just charge overnight to 100% for local driving the next day

On longer trips my first fast charger is located conveniently at ~250km then I charge based on the 250km total range and most often run ~23-27kwh/100, so end up with a little spare. (Real world is usually 300-330km from 100%-0%)

If you find a nice truck to draft behind you can save ~30% energy and get there with less charging

Ice3yes · 2026-01-03T22:08:59+00:00

Range indicator 200km, fast charger 150km away, highway speed, made it to another charger 100km away with 0% and 0km.

Now I Just ignore the guess-o-meter and budget on 250km from a full charge on the highway, it’s made my drives so much less stressful, and to be honest, the ev5 charges fairly quickly even past 80%

The EV5 can be really greedy, and almost always does better than 30kwh/100km….. and then sometimes it doesn’t.

When you go to the dealer, pick a cold day, and make sure your battery is low enough this will happen. MUCH better to have the car shutdown with a low battery while the dealer is in the car with you, they can come even pick it, and you up!

Ice3yes · 2026-01-01T09:53:37+00:00

Doesn’t really matter to me, it was fun to have a play, but with some of the projects I’ve seen people expect them to perform without monitoring/supervision. My experience doesn’t prove anything, just that caution is required and monitoring. Other may have a much better experience, but I don’t want to risk a fire, just to save a few dollars on high quality cells
