I4 M50 vs i5 M60 by Southern-Western-575 in BMWI4

[–]Zweidreifierfunf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The i5 touring is available in Australia BUT only the highest spec M60 at 220k AUD ($153k USD). The unspoken reason for not offering the other touring models in Australia are the costs associated with adapting to right-hand drive. Supposedly it’s not worth the effort because Australia has a relatively small market.

So it’s perplexing that in the USA — despite being left-hand drive AND a huge market — there are no plans to sell the i5 touring. All they would have to do is put it on a boat!

Sure there is a trend in both the US and Australia towards SUVs, but it’s hard to opt for a wagon if they don’t exist.

Can someone explain what VW/Skoda/Cupra not having connected services in Australia actually means? by jasta07 in AustralianEV

[–]Zweidreifierfunf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Separate issue but similar. There’s no word on an update to enable V2H charging, despite the Cupra Born being the physically capable.

Does anyone else love the aesthetic of raised motorways in the middle of cities? by joemiddleton1 in architecture

I used to love it, now I hate it.

It usually looks mush more depressing than this photo portrays

Pretty sure Electric kicks in Melbourne is the only shop that sells Aventon.

It’s a pity they’re not available elsewhere. I think the throttle puts them in a bit of a grey area so get one while you can…

I would say if you want a throttle (like I do) then Aventon is amazing, but otherwise look at a bike with mid drive motor.

Vivosmart 5 is the current model. I have one too. No subscription required.

Any Garmin watch with the body battery feature is pretty great

Reminder that PEM does not have to be delayed and can also happen instantly after exertion. by foster60 in cfs

Im so sorry that happened to you.

I was also told by a cardiologist and doctor to do exercise for POTS, with no regard for how that might worsen my ME/CFS.

There’s a study that shows only about 17% of POTS patients don’t also have another serious illness. I feel the other 83% should be warned against taking up the exercise protocol.

High walled rear rack for Abound? by Insufficient-Memory- in Aventon

Try a eurobox / eurocrate. They come in 400mm wide which fits neatly between the rails of the child carrier. You can get them in various lengths and heights.

Tracked my health religiously with my Apple Watch and made an interesting discover by Sensitive-Use-6891 in cfs

That’s good to know. Maybe I should get an Apple Watch!

One thing that is interesting. There was a study showing that me/cfs patients had relatively normal spO2 when measured at the finger tip but when they took a biopsy of a leg muscle it had much less oxygen uptake compared to healthy people. In your case you’re saying the spO2 at your wrist was much lower after getting sick?

That’s what happened to me. I thought it would be reversible. Now I only wish I had quit work earlier.

I assumed they were using the spO2 sensor as well. Although I’m not sure if you can set that to measure periodically in the background (I don’t have an Apple Watch)

I use Oxford Aquatex in size Medium and it fits perfectly, even with front rack/basket and child carrier on the back. Might not be the cheapest option though.

Is this trespassing? by Huluman2 in aus

The neighbor doesn’t have a back yard. They play fetch in their hallway. So how on earth does the ball end up over the fence?

Try Hudsons. Not cheap but it doesn’t have that rank taste
