My name is Kobe. I commuted for over 3 years on an electric bike. Next was our attempt at Vanlife in a VW Vanagon with my lovely wife Stephanie and our little dog (Lily) in Jun 2020; but the universe had other plans. This is my journey through life, eBikes, #vanlife, auto, travel, and tech.

Yes I'm still using the device and it works well. The only thing I notice is during summer time when the garage gets warm, that's where the water heater is,... It thinks the water is warmer than it really is so it doesn't heat it as much but it is summertime so it's not a huge pain just something to be aware of. It would be nice if it considered your ambient temperature of the garage and did some math to figure out the temperature better.
@@smidgelifethanks for the video and the reply. I would like to get one for my house so that during power outages, I can better control the hot water heater when on the generator power.
Question: did you just take the actuator/solenoid from the assembly you ordered out and put it in the existing assembly in the washer? Or did you remove/replace the whole thing?
Yes sorry for the poor instructional video I did everything in post and didn't want to undo it all so I was being lazy. Yes I just replaced the solenoid cuz it pops out really easily it's much more straightforward than if I had to remove the entire soap container I think that would have been more involved.
58 in wide by 91 in high. One track is by itself 6 ft long. But in order to open the sliding doors you would need more space. I don't recall if he's come in different sizes but you would need at least two which would mean it would be a total of obviously 12 ft. Let me know if you have any other questions
No no everything works well and is perfectly aligned. You could even customize it if you're good with wood and cut your own pieces. It's a great desk still works and I love it.
I would caution anyone buying an e-bike to research the manufacturers. You might find yourself with an online bike that you have to put together with a smorgasbord of hard to find components. Good luck finding a shop to work on yours as many won’t or won’t work on the electrical system at all. Brick and mortar bikes come with 1 or 2 yr warranties and a couple of important free inspections and adjustments. But get something!
Oh no! Sorry to hear. I've been following you since your Rad days and still am enjoying my RadCity on my commute albeit only once/week since COVID. All the best and will stay and see what's next. Perhaps one day you'll convince me of the virtues of torque sensing!
I need replace the entire headlight, housing & all considering a guy hit my car & broke the lens. Would i have to take the bumper off? After hours of scouring the webs, there seems to be no pertinent info? Any replies would be greatly appreciated
People complain about the 0008 battery error. For this a very simple worked for me. I short circuited the +- and it started charging normally again. Thank me later.
How accurate is the available hot water percentage? I don't actually care about the smart energy saving stuff, but am very interested in knowing how much hot water is left.
Cadence sensor for assistance should be made illegal...they don't 'assist' they take over... People don't know how to properly use it ... Killing 70 year old ladies for example...besides you can pedal backwards and still engage the motor...
Has anyone tried glueing the gear on? One other tip I learned the hard way don’t reset the trip while the van is in motion, after so many times it destroys the gears for the trip and odometer.
I got the same problem will try and lubricate using WD40 silicon spray I’ve noticed your odometer reading is 148,000 they all seem to have this problem around that mileage, if I can’t get working or becomes a regular thing then I may get a digi fizz
I like that a cadence sensor allows you to pedal as much or as little as you like with torque you must pedal continuously. With a cadence and my level of fitness I can go on a 30-40 mile bike ride but with torque I would be limited.
Best thing is not to ride with a valuable bike if you need to lock it up somewhere. Don't have it stand out and still use a U-lock of at least a chain if possible. It's sad that cyclists don't get better options to park their bikes in public spaces if they always talk to us about going green
I have ordered those in two turns, all together 8 pieces for my 4 teenagers. After a few months only one remains in operational condition. It is made of cheap material
I still use mine everyday so I would say yes. Plus you can set it to auto close if you leave the door open for too long or if you leave the door open past 11:00 p.m.
Jasion uses torque sensors surprisingly. I got the EB5 and was shocked by how smooth the pedaling was and how I could get way more range due to how efficient torque sensors are.
Thank you.. your comments about 'thingies' really speaks to me. I am hopeful that once I work out how to take the dash apart that my fix will be this easy.
