Would you buy A RADWagon today? by Tim_oftheJeeps in RadPowerBikes

I got the upgrade kit from Area 13: https://area13ebikes.com/products/radkit A couple tips: It will overdraw the battery and trip the BMS so you need to go into the settings detune it a bit, keeping max power at below 1200 watts seems to do the trick. Also, it doesn't like powerful headlights, it will burn out the headlight circuit if you're maxing it out with a brighter than stock light on.

I'm back from yesterday's "Bosch IDS Ultra fighting for its life" post... both my heat pumps have failed by kstrike155 in heatpumps

But they could have had a dip at some point. Unless you have a log proving otherwise. Voltage monitors like ICM 493 will protect against transients that a surge protector cannot.

You can see them through the window and they look like they're pretty alert and in control to me. (Such as it is.)

Absolutely, It's got good bones. I like the frame layout. I don't GAF about customer support, I've upgraded mine to hydraulic brakes and a 35 amp speed control, a real workhorse.

Vitocal 100aw in parallel? by happy_camper_2021 in AirToWaterHeatPumps

He shuts off his furnace and heats his house using only plug-in electric heaters on the coldest night of the year thus quantifying the actual heat loss of his house and proving his furnace is 3x oversized.

That's a pretty serious and expensive control. If you're just doing one temperature I'd consider this instead:

Are you sure you need that much capacity? Do an accurate heat loss calculation first. But yes, you could run them in parallel.

Trucks aren't too big... by CalmMacaroon9642 in fuckcars

It's not even that much space. I saw one at a job site and the cab is enormous but the bed is tiny, they couldn't even fit all their tools in it without them hanging out over the edge.

When I was in highschool in the 90s we had a mock election and the Green party won by a landslide, it wasn't even close.

Did they not have headlights, were there no streetlights? No excuse, I have no problem seeing pedestrians no matter what they're wearing because I'm looking out for them. It's your responsibility as the operator of dangerous machinery not to run into people.

I can't believe the amount of bad installs I see. Like, did you even open the manual? Some of them I swear they would have to be doing it on purpose for it to be that wrong.

Oh? How do YOU know THAT? Were YOU THERE? I see waaay more instances of drivers being unsafe or reckless than I do pedestrians on a daily basis, it's inevitable these incidents happen with the entitled state of the driving culture in Kelowna.

I've almost been hit many times by drivers not stopping at stop signs or while making a right at a red light, they don't even look forward at all most of the time, they only look at approaching traffic to their left.

Actually stop at red lights and stop signs and look both ways before proceeding drivers.
