Mr

Just 3D printed the first prototype of a footplate I'm designing for my NineBot One E+. This one is made of PLA, but when the design is finalised I will be printing x2 of them in Carbon Fiber, and they will be black. The magnet in the middle retains the plate when it is up, and the small holes are for 5mm studs. So far so good :-)

Has Speedy Feet gone into model trains, or has Ian a Brother? Maybe we could make an EUC equivalent, a frankenwheel :-)

You know, sometimes I think the government don't like us. Perhaps we should bring back something from the past. I presume you could get road tax for it?

The S18 has a weakness, if you can call it that. If you are too aggressive with it, it can be overpowered. Ewheels appear to be offering an S18 Special Edition that is using high discharge cells. Molicel P42A 21700 30a 4200mah, you sacrifice some capacity (903Wh over 1100Wh) but the advantage being they can deliver a higher current in high load conditions. Now my S18 has the LG batteries and I have never had a problem, but I thought it was an interesting development. I wonder if that could end up as an option for the S22 as well?

Any of you guys use a Rode Wireless GO Microphone with the Insta360 One X2 Camera, well this is for you. This has been round the eBay loop once already and no one wanted it, you could pick up an eBay bargain for 99p. It cost me more than that to make.

Electric vehicles are the future - I don't think so. And we think we have problems.

My Cornwall 30 mile tour from the other day. More of a look around my local area as anything else.

Long ride today 30 odd miles. Very nice now the weather is improving a bit. The 16X ended up with 24% battery when I got home so I have probably got some latitude to ride around a bit more when I do it again :-) Lots of recorded material of the ride on Insta360, I was riding in a very pretty area, so that is going to take some time editing down for my Youtube Channel.

Grinding noise from my S18, oh no what could it be, the motor bearing perhaps. But no, tiny bit more straight forward :-)

Best S20 video yet, think I want one :-)
