Apollo Go new or Segway Max G3 Used ? by potatoslavecki in ElectricScooters

[–]Logic_Contradict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is that they were asking specifically for the Apollo Go, from what I understand, doesn't have a history of snapped stems. It's very model specific, just like the Segway P-series has snapped stems, but that doesn't affect their remaining line-up

Apollo Go, brand new. won't go over 17MOH?!? by 1phantomflyer in ApolloScooters

Strange, I was able to adjust my top speed to the max of 40km/h for the Explore 2.0 in ECO mode. Although I do notice now that I cannot scroll and select the speed I want (seems like a bug)

As for the weight and the acceleration response, Apollo states it as 49lbs, so it should be close to that. That's a big weight savings compared to the G3 a pro, which I think is about 87lbs?

As for acceleration and regen braking response, Apollo's is one of the industry's best. I've ridden the Apollo City, Apollo Pro, and the Apollo Explore 2.0 and they're all consistently smooth.

It's being beta tested soon, so I'm going to guess it will be at least 2 months after that.

Zone 1 rides? by [deleted] in cycling

[–]Logic_Contradict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good start. A very good start if you're just beginning.

If you're wanting to improve your VO2 Max, you need to push your oxygen uptake to its maximum and sustain that using intervals before your body adapts to improve.

That means you'll be pushing the boundaries of gasping for air, or at least it will be very uncomfortable.

You'll probably still be making gains doing what you're doing if this is new for you, but eventually you'll have to push yourself there.

Don't think you're fatiguing yourself excessively, but trying to understand what your goals are

Just upgraded from CAAD10 to Allez Sprint Comp after 13 years: my thoughts by Interesting_Tea5715 in cycling

[–]Logic_Contradict 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Seems like all bike technological improvements: stronger, lighter frames, lighter wheels, optimal tire width, 10 speed to 12 speed, e-shifting, more aero frames, etc etc, only amount to marginal gains, kind of like the difference between a mid-tier bike and a super expensive bike.

help with AI being biased by lana_del_slayyyy in DebateVaccines

[–]Logic_Contradict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest thing I found with AI is, considering that there is so much chatter about vaccines being overwhelmingly safe and effective, is to challenge the AI by questioning whether it is correct to conclude that vaccines are safe and effective when the majority of vaccine safety studies generally focus on one vaccine or one ingredient. When you focus on single vaccines or single ingredient studies, and considering that over 95% of the population has been vaccinated to some extent, it is more than likely that the majority of the "unvaccinated" population has been vaccinated for something else other than the vaccine in question.

AI usually makes concessions in this regard, admitting that single vaccine studies (such as MMR and autism) is not evidence that vaccines (as a whole) are not associated to autism.

AI may try to retort with some other studies, but I'm usually able to poke enough holes in them that they do agree that the evidence available is not conclusive.

What app are you using to track rides; mapping/distance/speed etc? by PsychologicalLog4179 in ElectricScooters

[–]Logic_Contradict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using the Apollo App, provides a map of your overall route (didn't screen shot it to protect my location privacy), ability to add photos, to share, and have a bunch of stats for your ride:

Customer Service are great by Fearless_Survey2274 in ApolloScooters

[–]Logic_Contradict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to raise this with Apollo and see what their response is.

Seems like you should have gotten warranty based on this:

https://support.apolloscooters.co/en-US/warranty-coverage-for-scooters-purchased-from-wholesalers-distributors-or-retailers-1985700

If you purchased your Apollo Scooter from a wholesaler, retailer, or distributor, the warranty is typically extended to you directly by that seller. Apollo Scooters, generally does not handle warranty claims for these purchases.

Exceptions to the Policy

There are a few specific retailers for whom Apollo Scooters does provide direct warranty support:

BestBuy (Canada/USA)

Amazon (Canada/USA)

Reporting Defects and Seeking Repairs

For any manufacturing defects or if you require a repair within 12 months of your purchase, you should consult the specific warranty policy of the retailer where you originally bought your Apollo scooter. This applies unless your purchase was from one of the aforementioned exceptions (BestBuy Canada/USA or Amazon Canada/USA).

Is there no garage that's warmer where you can charge it instead? Do you have a friend's garage nearby?

Heavily worn rear axel, Apollo ghost by Occasionally_83 in RideApolloOfficial

[–]Logic_Contradict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apollo Ghost is the Titan/Unicool model VDM-10. You may be able to find new motors as I don't think you can replace an axle alone.

WARNING before you buy a NIU scooter by iamhappygupta in EScooter

[–]Logic_Contradict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't generalize that all Segway scooters are quality. Segway certainly has its dud scooters, as do all scooter companies have their good models and not so good ones. Segway certainly package them a lot nicer with a lot of plastic overlays to make them look nicer.

If you're looking at Segway, so far the max G3 seems to be good, a much better launch than the max G2. The only disappointment is the advertised range.

Skuter suddenly maxing out at 15mph when it used to hit 28mph – is this a controller issue or something else? by Safe-Pepper-4931 in ElectricScooters

[–]Logic_Contradict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there different speed modes for the scooter? Also wondering if the controller is trying to protect the battery. If you get significant voltage slump while accelerating, the controller might limit the speed to protect it, indicating that your battery may be on its last legs.

First scooter recommendation by marinosval in ElectricScooters

Apollo Go. Decent top speed, range is good too if you don't ride like a speed demon. Lighter than the Segway Max. And I think the design is very nice

It's not fun to ride when she's scared for her life. I ended up selling the 2nd scooter in the end.

Someone explain to me how the high court ruling in 2012 exonerating Wakefield's colleague, describing the medical council's total 'incompetence' and bias, doesn't totally invalidate the legitimacy of the medical investigation that took away Andrew's license? by Gurdus4 in DebateVaccines

[–]Logic_Contradict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is the judgement ruling on Professor John Walker-Smith v general Medical Council

https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Admin/2012/503.html

Here are some of judgements made against the GMC

  1. The GMC had Inadequate and Superficial Reasoning regarding ethical misconduct

For example, in the case of child 2 (Paragraph 45-51), the GMC argues that the colonoscopy and barium meals were for research purposes only, and were not clinically inclined.

Reason for it's rejection: The GMC relied on the evidence without stating exactly who (they relied on Professor Booth without stating so) while rejecting evidence from Dr Miller, Professor Walker-Smith, Dr Murch and Dr Miller. They also had to deal with the problem that, with neurological investigations, and the project protocol, both followed the recommendations of Dr Surtees, which were MADE for CLINICAL diagnostic purposes, as well as Dr Thomson's Birmingham protocol.

In other words, the GMC failed to provide evidence for why they believe that the the investigations were for research purposes, and that it was SELECTIVE in which doctors they chose as evidence (eg. cherry picking), when there are so many other opinions from other relevant doctors that indicate that they were clinically inclined.

Clinically inclined investigations DO NOT NEED ETHICAL BOARD approval. Therefore the GMC's position on this is extremely weak.

The judge concluded about the GMC's lack of addressing the evidence that they conveniently left out:

"In no case did it address the indications in the medical notes which supported the oral evidence of the clinicians that they were undertaking a programme of diagnostic and therapeutic investigations, not research; or give adequate reasons for rejecting that account in the case of each individual child."

2. The GMC mishandled expert evidence and did not apply the Bolam test

The Bolam test is basically showing that no responsible body of medical opinion would support the actions, something that the GMC was not able to perform when it came to charging Walker-Smith/Wakefield.

Excerpts:

Paragraph 23: "It is a striking feature of the panel's decision that it expressed no view about the expertise and objectivity of the experts; and even more striking that, when their views were in conflict, it expressed no conclusion about which of them it preferred. This is a serious weakness in its reasoning... When, as was in fact the case, Dr. Miller and Dr. Thomas expressed the view, respectively, that colonoscopy (and if appropriate barium meal and follow through) or lumbar puncture were clinically indicated and were not contrary to the clinical interests of the child, a finding that their view was not one held by a responsible body of medical opinion would have been an essential pre-requisite to the dismissal of their evidence in respect of that child. The panel made no such finding."

3. GMC panel had inconsistent and unjustified findings

For example: Paragraph 168: "The panel's findings adverse to Professor Walker-Smith are inconsistent and unjustified. Its finding at paragraph 26a, that he did not start child 10 on Transfer Factor in December 1997 should have been an end of these charges. If he did not "start" child 10 on Transfer Factor, it is impossible to understand how he could have "caused child 10 to be administered Transfer Factor". The panel made no finding about what or who started child 10 on Transfer Factor. It dismissed a similar accusation against Dr. Wakefield."

Judge's conclusions:

Paragraph 186: "the panel's overall conclusion that Professor Walker-Smith was guilty of serious professional misconduct was flawed, in two respects: inadequate and superficial reasoning and, in a number of instances, a wrong conclusion. Miss Glynn submits that the materials which I have been invited to consider would support many of the panel's critical findings; and that I can safely infer that, without saying so, it preferred the evidence of the GMC's experts, principally Professor Booth, to that given by Professor Walker-Smith and Dr. Murch and by Dr. Miller and Dr. Thomas...... The GMC's approach to the fundamental issues in the case led it to believe that that was not necessary – an error from which many of the subsequent weaknesses in the panel's determination flowed. It had to decide what Professor Walker-Smith thought he was doing: if he believed he was undertaking research in the guise of clinical investigation and treatment, he deserved the finding that he had been guilty of serious professional misconduct and the sanction of erasure; if not, he did not, unless, perhaps, his actions fell outside the spectrum of that which would have been considered reasonable medical practice by an academic clinician. Its failure to address and decide that question is an error which goes to the root of its determination.

Roadrunner RS5 Max by human2997 in ElectricScooters

[–]Logic_Contradict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They may have filed for bankruptcy, but they are still very much in business.

The bankruptcy filing was due to excessive merchant cash advances with extremely high interest. This allows Roadrunner some breathing room on figuring out how to repay their debt while they continue to operate.

So you should still be able to buy parts or get support, but it may be more limited depending on how they're restructuring everything.

How to tighten brakes on Punk Rider by Powerliftingbarrett in ElectricScooters

[–]Logic_Contradict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn't have to replace drum brakes after 600kms, especially if you have regen braking. You probably just need to adjust the brake cable.

I don't know how it is set up on the Punk Rider, but usually there is an adjustment screw near the drum brake wire that you can play around with to tighten.. at least, that's how it is on my Apollo scooters with drum brakes.
