wtnhighlander 7682 Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 Thanks for that video, Gary. Leno has some incredible machines in his garage. Mick, here in TN, if a bike can travel above 20 mph under it's own power, it is a motorcycle. Does the bike you have require pedal-assist to reach that top speed?

legenddc 481 Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 I keep seeing Jon Peters riding an electric assist Cannondale. Seems like a nice bike but for $7k it should be. The Corona virus changing where we work sure has raised some questions about our future car ownership. Too early to make a decision now but I'm debating on getting rid of a car and my old never-used '91 pickup and just being a 1 car family. Depending on how school plays out in the fall and how often we'll be working from home will decide that. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I googled it and it looks like it’s electric self propelled or you can pedal it? There are three classes of e-bikes. Class 1 has pedal assist (senses when you start pedaling and adds motor power that can be adjusted from min to max) and has a top speed of 20 mph, Class 2 has pedal assist plus a throttle that can be used by itself in all-electric mode or with pedal assist (PAS) to boost the current PAS setting and has a top speed of 20 mph (but can be reset in the controller to a limit of 28 mph) and Class 3 which is PAS only, no throttle up to 28 mph. So you can get as much or as little exercise as you want depending on the setup. 9 hours ago, Chip Sawdust said: I'd like to get one built in the states. It's next to impossible to even find one available for delivery, but getting one made here is even tougher. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No. It can reach 20 on its own. NM makes no legal distinction between e-bikes and any other bike. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe where you live but it would be a target in Houston. It probably comes with life insurance with the seller as beneficiary. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mick S 2682 Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 I'm very sorry, Tpt. As a friend of mine put it to me a couple of days ago, you can watch someone point a tazer at you for an hour, or not see it at all, but when they pull the trigger it feels just the same. Her struggle is over. My best to your family. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post wtnhighlander 7682 Posted June 28, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 More experiments in tablesaw turning: Seems to have come out OK. Definitely better to use the outer plates of my dado stack, stiffness resists side loading. Last time, someone suggested that spinning the work from the central pivot would be safer. I tried just turning the wing nut that holds the rotating parts together when I cut the outside. After losing the feeling in my thumb for a week, I made this Q&D tee handle for doing the inside. Much better! 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wtnhighlander 7682 Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 I'm about ready to go all Izzy Swan on it, and use a drill motor for the spin. Turning by had took me almost 3 hours to hollow the bowl and slightly recess the bottom. With a motor to spin it, feeding in to the cutter should be much easier and quicker.

Popular Post Chip Sawdust 798 Posted June 28, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Then I came home and did a little project I've been meaning to do - gun vise. This one is a prototype based off a plan I found on the net. Has a little cam wedgie thing on the butt end to hold the rifle in place. It works, but it could be better. I got what I paid for with the plans Later, better versions are already in my head. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
