Might be cheaper and easier, than using a generator. definitely cheaper than being offgrid, but the man has made getting a meter set a bureacratic nightmare. when u pull a bldg permit, getting a "sawpole" temp power pole, is nbd, but without that, i have to plead for the cows and running the well for water. i could see the electrical inspector telling code enforcement, i need to finish demolishing the house, like i was in a neighborhood. ur not dealing with smart folks in the govt. and i do have prospects wanting to buy if the inflation hasn't scared them away. actually, when u figure the true cost of electricity, real estate taxes, power company service fees, etc, if solar was worth a shit, off grid would be cheaper. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2016, I converted a minivan into an RV and lived for a year in my vehicle, and it allowed me to travel and stay in Alaska for 3 months. Best time of my life. Not having to pay rent or mortgage, property taxes etc, it felt liberating and I was bucking the system. Wish I had an EUC during my travels, imagine the fun. The call of the wild is whispering in my ear yet again. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novazeus Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 dude, ya feel me! it's lots of work, esp raising cattle to boot, but knowing i'm greenbelting this $100mil plus property and my taxes with the meter and house gone will be about $1000 next year. a $1000 more than the services i get from my county.without greenbelt and zoned, for example, across the creek, 17 acres of vacant land is $45k a year in taxes, and ultimately, we as consumers pay for that.i have 325 acres and damn sure not enough cash to pay those kinds of taxes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Josiah Posted January 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) If you're traveling via air and want to bring your wheel, I’m guessing you would have to ship it there. Or do they allow checking electric wheels onto planes? Seems like that would be a hard no… That gives me an idea. What if we all went to see Bob and Nov with our wheels for a jungle group ride? Feb 2023 ??? To celebrate the drop of the V13! Could also ride the wheel there. If Challenger could average 100 miles per charge at around 35 mph. And It’s 2108 miles for me, from Denver to Tampa. 6 hours to charge single charger or 3 hours double charger. That’s 22 charging/ riding cycles of about 6-9 hours each. 5.5 to 8.25 days of riding and charging (sleep while charging). I would certainly die. Or somehow convert my wheel to run on fuel. And still die. Sounds fun though. Edited January 7, 2023 by Josiah 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if we all went to see Bob and Nov with our wheels for a jungle group ride? i couldn't let u ride on the ranch because of liability issues. not worried about u suing if u get hurt, it's always the next of kin when u die, and that's always a possibility. even the developers that want to buy property here, during their due diligence, they have to sign hold harmless waivers and provide insurance before stepping on the property. this is the world we live in with ambulance chasing attorneys advertising non-stop on the boob tube. but it is a great idea for inmotion to hold a demo weekend next door at the outlet mall. the roads here, aren't like what u see in dawn's videos. these humans driving in their cages are maniacs. i fear for my life checking my mail on cypress creek rd and it's a 30mph road. the govt says they don't want gasoline vehicles, but wanna ban pev's. they need to build safe highways for pevs like they do cars. course the whole argument for electric vehicles is disingenuous because ur charging ur vehicle by burning coal or some other pollutant. if ur gonna buy a tesla, u should also spend $30k on a solar system to charge it, and only drive when u get free juice. if i like my v13, i'll try and get inmotion to do something here. it's warmer than other places now and mickey is an hour away, although i prefer busch gardens. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techyiam Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) Regarding the V13 in Jakarta, Indonesia going at an indicated speed of 90 km/h: This guy was leaning forward onto what looks like to be stock pads when he reached an indicated speed of 90 km/h. He was riding in night traffic on a main road next to something that resembles a strip mall. There was a car waiting to come out of the driveway too. Around here, that driver would have come out and block my path. So it would be suicidal to do this locally. That is pretty good endorsement as to how accessible the 90 km/h speed is. Braking looked good too. Who knew that it is possible to ride at 90 km/h speeds within city confines. Maybe Indonesia will be where the sales of big high speed electric wheels go through the roof too. If you want to be at the front of a medium length group ride, you won't be on a Sherman. What will the future hold, faster wheels? 🙂 Edited January 7, 2023 by techyiam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novazeus Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 so yeah, i know a bit about electricity and energy conservation. i taught fpl and u of f how to build as low as 59 eer(energy efficiency ratio) in the least expensive homes in the nation. most homes were between 90 and 99. 30 years ago. humans and the power companies really don’t want change. had humans implemented what i did thirty years ago, or now, they’d be shuttering power plants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josiah Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 If you want to fast charge Challenger do you get a second standard charger or get a fast charger that has the dual output ports? Are the grip nubs on the petals removable/ changeable? If so do we know the tread size and where to get pointier more gripping ones. (May not be necessary but a reviewer did mention they looked a bit soft.) Is there a seat option yet? Is there a good way to shield the bottom shock caps? Any other suggestions for simple mods for the wheel? I did take Marty’s advice and ordered the large flow pads and the 4” x 9’ Velcro. Despite loving the look of the stock pads.

Does that kickstand have any drawbacks! Kuji had said that he liked the softness of the mud guard because it won’t hit and knock the wheel away from stair edges. this looks so bulky and ridged. Also photos don’t show it installed. Any thoughts on that or photos with it installed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
