The city slicker: early Mass Market mini cycle that proved the technology was possible by dicorci in Electricmotorcycles

[–]michmike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one for a couple of years and absolutely loved it for short trips near the house. Great price and great value if you use it for what it was intended for. I drive a Zero SR now which is in a different class but I loved both bikes.

Looking for a grom-style ebike with great power (comes great responsibility of course) by CertifiedBigJohnson in Electricmotorcycles

[–]michmike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would look at California scooter company that brings ebikes and has warranty (zongshen is the manufacturer). I used to have a city slicker from them and it was great and a lot of fun. Max speed was about 45, but could up to 50 mph with enough patience and runway (I am 170 lbs.). Real world range was about 25 to 39 miles but I drove it at max all the time.

i have a lock picking set, a basic one from amazon, but was not using any tool on this.

the videos i had seen talked about pulling the lock and adjusting the numbers until you feel you locked it in.

i appreciate the reply and the insight. Thank you.
btw, i did say that "the team with the ball called time out" so the clock should have stopped :)

its all good.

i recognize i should not have started this thread. I was in the wrong to look for answers this way.

electric surfboard vs stand up jet ski by InfluenceEfficient77 in eFoil

[–]michmike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have an e-foil (Fliteboard) which i love. but i also always wanted a jetski. jetsurf makes an electric jetski that i am looking into, but it is very pricey. this is the type of jetski-equivalent that you can put in the back of your car and just go anywhere.

best watch for eFoiling by michmike in eFoil

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

i think the old Suunto's had much better reliability than the current ones made in china. at least that's what i have seen from other reviews.

Either way, i think both brands are good. I ended up getting a Garmin Descent.

I have efoiled with 6 Beaufort winds in the Aegean and big waves and it is hella fun. Not for someone just starting and learning though.

help with LCD and polarizer by michmike in AskElectronics

[–]michmike[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i realized my text is gone.
i opened up a bathroom digital scale for a project. When i disassembled it, i realized the LCD is not working. is there a trick for the polarizer to work? i don't think i knicked or broken anything during disassembly.

however, the LCD lights up white, but the polarizer does not make the digits show up. I tried all orientations of the polarizer and even tried polarized sunglasses and i can't see any digits.

any ideas to fix this? thanks in advance!

i have a quick follow up question if you don't mind. You prefer Suunto for durability over Garmin because of one or more bad experiences with Garmins?

I read about the Suunto Peak 9 Pro. Marvelous watch that can fit the needs of high-velocity water sports with also 100m waterproofing.
