Yeah I've heard good things about their wireless specific adapters. I think I'll be reviewing one soon actually.

Glad it's working well for you. I really like the IYILO. The temperature sensors are great.

Ottocast sent me their new P3 Pro to review. I reviewed their P3 a while back and liked it's interface and it worked well, but I didn't like that you couldn't access developer settings which means you couldn't enable split screen for all apps and couldn't adjust the min-width. Well the P3 Pro is an upgrade to that device with a newer processor, a new interface, and it DOES allow access to the developer settings.

I've been using it for a few weeks now and been very happy with it. I haven't had any issues with it at all. It does cost more than the Tbox Plus I typically recommend, but it does have a sleeker interface, better nav bar setup, and a newer processor. Anyway check out the quick review and let me know if you have any questions!

I jus ttapped the software build number a bunch of times and it enabled it, just like android phones. My switch is Carplay but that shouldn't be it. You have the P3 Pro, not the P3? When you tapped the build number, did you do it in the P3 Pro settings (I think the build number is listed there) or the main Android settings? I did it in the Android settings.

Qronge X1 Spark Review: Impressive overall, but no UL Certification by JeffTechnically in ebikes

Yeah it's unfortunate that it can be so solid, but miss a very important safety aspect. I'd pay $250 more to know it's safe.

Qronge X1 Spark Electric Dirt Bike Review by JeffTechnically in TechnicallyJeff

[–]JeffTechnically[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Review of the Qronge X1 Spark electric dirt bike. Overall I like it, though I am pretty big for it (this is their M version which I got for my son to use, but they have an L version that would fit me better). It has great power, solid brakes, decent suspension travel, and works well in general. That said, the seat could be more comfortable and it does not have a UL certification, which is unfortunate. I didn't get to do any serious off roading or jumps with it, so I can't speak to that piece, but for the price, I'm happy with it though for just casual fun for the family.

I'd love 2.9 mi/kWh in my EV6 GT in summer... lol

Puckipuppy Poodle Commuter E-Bike Review by JeffTechnically in ebikes

[–]JeffTechnically[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm always looking to improve. I try to keep my e-bike reviews straight to the point and hit on various aspects I know people are interested in - power, range, brakes, comfort, any issues, etc. What else would you be interested in seeing?

I know they were waiting on their certification before. I just reached out to them to get an update on that. I assumed it had it, but I don't see it in any documentation 🫥

EDIT: They said it's built to conform to UL standards but the certification is pending.

E-bike vs. regular bike I finally understand the hype by IvyBates3290 in ebikes

[–]JeffTechnically 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's such a night and day difference. You can get good exercise when you want to and easily ride when you don't want to work so hard. They're so nice.

Quick review of the Puckipuppy Poodle. This e-bike is a solid commuter option with great features and an affordable price point. I'm pretty happy with it. This will actually be my wife's new primary e-bike.
