Disclosure?

Do EV dealers make any disclosure about the necessary electrical service requirements for maintaining a proper charge on an EV? Or are you on your own?

BS excuse

A village board chairman convinced the village board to vote against a new residential water connection from the main to curb stop stating a new connection must have stainless steel pipe and the distance would be too expensive. Is that “code” anywhere or is he making that up?

Real battery protection

Tempo has the battery under the down tube. It’s a little hard to access but easy once you know the routine. However, under the down tube makes it vulnerable to splash up from water if you find yourself in a heavy downpour. There doesn’t seem to be a seal around the battery so wondering what other Tempo owners use to keep water out besides staying home or not riding if rain is a threat. Obviously IPX-7 is a pretty high waterproof rating for the battery and IPX-6 is very high for the rest of the bike, just wanted to know what other Tempo riders are doing.

E-scooters

Are E scooters allowed on Lincoln trails or not? I don’t ride the trails more than a couple times a month as I live out of town. When I do ride on the trails I ride extensively and at least 20+ miles. I see at least two scooters and quite often they’re in the Antelope Park area. I have yet to see a sign stating they are prohibited.

Insurance, lead safe certification.

Any handy man may respond. Do you carry liability insurance? Do you have lead safe certification? Have explored the consequences for not having one or both?

Seat height

Im experimenting with the correct seat height for me. I’m trying to avoid knee and tricep stress while getting a little power without taxing my battery. Some say you should be able to stand flat footed while seated comfortably on the saddle. Others, one foot on the ground and one with the ball of one foot on the pedal with your ankle partially extended and leg bent at the knee not quite fully extended.

My Sunday ride on Velotric Tempo

15.85 miles on Trail-cadence yielded 44% left on A full battery. Averaged about 11.3 mph over relatively level rails to trails paved trail. Bike shop said that’s not bad but probably could decrease pedal assist a bit for more yield.

Yellow Catfish

Is a yellow catfish the same as a flathead? We have a lot of them in the Little and Big Blue Rivers (Nebraska) around here. Hardly ever see a mottled one. Yellows are up to 25# or more and flat head and wide mouth.

Rain while transporting

I have a Velotric Tempo. I’m planning a road trip to Bella Vista, Arkansas in September for a riding weekend. Is there a reason for concern about water damage to the bike or components when hauling the bike on a hitch rack?

Hair loss/restoration

I’m Male 76. Hereditary hair loss has left me with very thin hair in the front and top, large almost completely bald over the crown and a fairly decent fringe from the temples around the back and neck. Is there any point in trying hair restoration treatments (not weaving or transplanting thankyou)?
