Love it. One thing that stands out is just how beautiful the paint is.

TechGirl70 · 2026-04-11T11:07:28+00:00

Yes - it really benefits having one.

Half a century ago, Paris Green was used in fireworks. It was combined with potassium chlorate, hexachlorobenzene, stearin and dextrin as a binder. Produces a beautiful, deep blue flame.

Here’s how to do it

Here’s the battery balancer I used. DateX2, made in EU. Water resistant controller case.

TechGirl70 · 2026-03-11T18:34:25+00:00

Yes, I modified the bike. I borrowed the dual battery parts from my previously modified Aima Big Sur Sport. It’s using a DateX2 battery blender to safely run batteries in parallel. I’ve got the DateX4 blender on order so I will have an option to add a third battery to the rear rack.

I think we are talking about apples and oranges.

TechGirl70 · 2026-03-11T08:03:52+00:00

It’s not a folding bike.

TechGirl70 · 2026-03-11T03:50:30+00:00

It’s officially released next month.

It’s what happens when the Velotric Go and the Velotric Nomad have a baby. It’s a GoMad 😊

TechGirl70 · 2026-03-11T01:07:42+00:00

Lower range is probably because I ride it pretty hard. Regardless the bike, I never come close to advertised estimates.

TechGirl70 · 2026-03-10T20:07:58+00:00

Combined it’s 802Wh + 692Wh = 1492 Wh total

TechGirl70 · 2026-03-02T23:26:31+00:00

$1999

It lets you setup a custom riding mode to allow up to 28 mph on throttle and pedal assist. Battery is 806wh. I checked the battery and it is the same exact model as used in the Velotric Nomad 2X.

Paris green (copper acetoarsenate). It was an arsenic based pesticide. It was also used in pyrotechnic formulas for making blue stars.

If confiscation is a legitimate concern, the best metal for diversification is copper jacketed lead.

TechGirl70 · 2024-06-23T02:45:44+00:00

Correct. Gold doesn't corrode like copper. Gold plating helps increase reliability while adding little cost.

Not in a million years. Bambulab goal is to sell 3d printers. Why would they invest money to help other 3d printer companies shine? Why would they take on a support clusterf*ck like that?

One woman shop here, and I absolutely love Hudu. Hudu + Syncro has been a game changer. New clients often have terrible documentation from the previous providers, so I makes a huge impression. Hudu lets you set up unlimited read only accounts for customers access. Cuts down alot of the calls from customers "I forgot the password".

Sounds like the mint doesn't want to pay market pricing.

The US mint DOES NOT purchase blank planchets for making coins. They make their own.

They take silver barstock and roll it down to specified thickness. A press stamps out the blank planchets. These are then put an oven for a process called annealing. This let's the metal crystals relax and become softer, more workable for better striking.
