  1. It's gotta end eventually, why not here and now?
  2. I haven't been on this forum for a very long time, but should we not as humans give the benefit of the doubt that Aneta is not Chrisjunlee? I never liked the dude to begin with and he lives in my area. The local riders even think of him quite harshly. But it wasn't until recently that a couple users began connecting the two accounts. Look, I am not one to cause trouble, but a flat ban due to one thread, off-topic as it may be, should not be the first response. It should be locking the thread, after telling people that it's gone off topic, to think about the things they posted, and reconsider their action in the future. If; Then many many others should be banned as well. As for my suggestion going forward. I do not think a permanent ban for an account and future accounts should ever be a first response to any account, regardless of the owner behind the monitor. I think that it should start as a 3 day ban, move to a 7 day ban upon second infraction, and then a month long ban. This community is and always will be a valuable resource for everyone in this hobby. It shouldn't prohibit a user simply because they don't get along with others. Just stop the topic from being derailed, and remind everyone the rules. It takes 2 people to cause an argument, and if only one account was banned do it "toxicity" then the other account that engaged in the argument hold just as much responsibility and should be equally punished.
  3. If I end up getting something like that, I'd go for the much cheaper zippo option. https://www.amazon.com/Zippo-Hand-Warmer-12-Hour-Chrome/dp/B013HLGTL2
  4. Personally, I weigh ~200 lbs and am very very carful not to jump curbs or put any extra force onto the axel. If you do ride it, it should be fine, but don't expect to be reaching top speed or to have the best range. I get about 18 mph top speed at my weight. You might get somewhere around 15-17.
  5. They are all white. For the shell, it's not difficult to open. Just be careful with all the wires, mine weren't that secure to the led strip. so they fell off. Unlike larger wheels which have inner and outter shells, this one is only one shell. The battery and control board are connected together, and there is just a few wires. Painting it, you'd want something that doesn't damage the integrity of plastic. There are paints that can make plastic brittle. So get one that's for plastic. Since the plastic itself is pretty smooth the paint might wear off from rubbing, so use a sealant coat over top of it. I have a vinyl cover over mine now. So it no longer looks black. I think I'm going to change the look each summer.
  6. It appears that he really is gone now. I'm sad to see him gone.
  7. You gonna go? I get off at 5, and don't know if I want to stick around for over an hour to attend.
  8. Hi there. If you have it, I'd post to the facebook group(s) since it's more active. If not, there is one tomorrow, meets at 6pm at Redmond City Hall Lobby.
  9. Apparently it qualifies as an electric bicycle... and only 300 charges?? that's really lame.
  10. There is this cool invention that a lot of people down there use. It's called a generator. It consumes gasoline or diesel and converts it into watts. Some cars have lighter sockets that you can attach DC to AC power inverters. There is also another alternative that some cars have where they automatically have outlets.
  11. In this situation, I'd simply create a map similar to this drone flight map and link that to the local law box. In general, if someone doesn't want to look at the list, an interactive map would be the next step. Also, looking at your "list of different police forces" I think we can safely eliminate quite a few of those as most of them won't be issuing citations for traffic violations or general endangerment of public, such as the US Postal Inspectors or the ATF or the Smithsonian Police. It would be like a Firefighter trying to give a ticket to someone speeding.
  12. No way! I watched a total of 3 minutes of "how to apply vinyl on curved surfaces" and just winged it. It said that you want at least 4 to 6 inches of overhang on all the edges in order to get a nice wrinkle free look. I had no idea how to do the handle though... that part threw me through a loop. So i just cut a little slit and did my best to press it along the inside.
  13. @Lucas Alexander Oliver There is a small meetup tonight if you're in the area. I'm meeting up with Mitch at the Yard House on 4th between Pike & Pine. I get off work just before 5 pm and am headed over there so he can try out the Mten3. I just put a new tire on it so it's super smooth to ride. I'd like to try out the Nikola too and Mitch is bringing his NB Z10 so I'll get to try that one out too Come join up, compare sizes like real men. I know mine is the smallest one but I love it.
  14. Check the local Seattle thread if you haven't already. I'll tag you there so you can find it easier if you lost it.
