Hey …
Hi Kenny 🙂
Thank you for your super acknowledgements. It is really nice to learn
that you are enjoying the posts.
Mmmmh. I have an inkling that I’m more likely to be a passing meteor
burning bright for just a few short days rather than finding myself in
some permanent arrangement orbiting a forum in this Pedelec universe!
But who knows.
Have a great evening. Kenny.
Good for you, flecc. Well done …
Hi d8veh,
Well. With our shiney new twin piers and the curtilage of the harbour
greatly extended, the Bay is even more of a pleasure or treasure than it
was before and the increase in the number of bass fry, (who have now
adopted the outer harbour area as a nursey), probably means that the
overall bass population should steadily rise over the next decade or so
also.
Currently, Chesil beach is giving up the odd double figured cod, I say
currently, I actually mean ‘as of a couple of weeks ago’ before the
devastating floods, storms gales and rain hit us. It is probably fishing
even better now though, after having the seabed churned up this last
week or two..
My goal, over the coming months, is to fish, record, photograph and
write an account of the first several miles of the Western end of Chesil
as viewed from the eyes of the wandering soul persona I shall need to
adopt for the role.
Would not … could not even attempt it without my eBike.
Ha. Anyway. I should stop broadcasting the merits of my own unique part
of West Dorset. I get frustrated with the existing teeming hordes of
summer visitors as it is without inspiring or encouaging even more of
them!
“Move along please, nothing to see here!” 🙂

Yes, I like those old Powabykes too! 🙂 So much so that I remained
determined to specifically and exclusively track one down!
Those are some impressive figures, d8veh.
Here are mine! Well … in a minute or so.
Aside from tinkering with and rebuilding a little generic Chinese
eFolder back in November of last year, I had never ever as much as
looked twice at an electric bicycle, let alone ride one. I rebuilt that
Chinese thing with a secondhand … was it anM109 motor? Can’t remember
and am not going to Google it … It was a round, black 250W motor thing
anyway.
I bought a couple 12v 4.5ah Lucas SLA’s off the net. I sourced the
controller and ethrottle thing from China and, Bingo, in next to no
time, the scrap of rusty red ejunk I had bought from the guy down the
recycle centre, (the tip), had become a pure, well, artic white folder
with two black wheels!
I rode it twice … around a public car park … and then I parked it up
at the bottom of my Zen garden … which is where it calmy resides and
will reside for the foreseeable.
The new machine? I’ve ridden it three times so far.
1.A trip to the the wild downs and cliffs. 6.2 miles.
- The ‘motor test’ down to the Bay and back. 4.23 miles.
- A 1.1 mile trip there and back to a supermarket..
12 miles.
Yes. I’m sorry if I offended you regarding my ‘persistent poster’
comments, d8veh. If I’m truthful, which of course I am, I can admit to
being a bit of a PP myself in the past, though on serious or
philosophical web forums, (not on niche sites like this), and I was
possibly a pain in the **** sometimes, dashing to every new original
post or thread to comment … to spray my literary musk all over it …
just to let folk know, (or to remind them), that I was still there.
And yes. I used to boast about how many Serious Stuff or Forum threads I
had posted and actually played the game of ensuring ‘Beach’ kept his
threads popular and in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place at all times!
Sad really. It is a kind of ‘big fish in a small pond’ syndrome … and
yes, I have had that ailment myself! 🙂
But hey! At that time, several years ago, even the wheel had fallen off
the cart I was going to hell in … and I guess the forum feedback (and
online company) was a kind of therapy of some sort.
Actually. For me, this is quite a novelty in itself. A niche interest
for sure … but the very nature of the devices we use and have a common
interest in, does allow for a broad church of chat, conversation and
debate.
Hi peerjay, Thanks for looking in. 🙂
Good Evening, Dynamic Position,
Yes. 100%. You are absolutely right about the Powabyke. I do indeed see
it as being a sturdy, robust steed. Yes. It had to be able to carry
beachcaster, spinning rod, all the tackle, my food, water, etc and, yep,
at least one of my detectors.
And yes, further ammendments are planned.
A 5 bolt, 40T chain ring will be added behind the existing ring to
enhance the gearing for a calmer, less feverish ‘on the flat’ pedaling
experience.
So far, a quick release bracket for my digital cameras has been added
… and security, aside from obvious visible deterents, now also
includes smartphone / internet security.
Ha ha. Gravity … And to address neptune’s query as well … No. My own
technology his nothing to do with zero point. My devices and
manufactured products simply utilise gravity to create a variety of
ground based, wall based and overhead fixing, security and / or
anchoring devices … via the use of just one moving part … Typically
… a stainless steel ball although the ball could be soluble, activated
by solenoid or WiFi control or by any number of additional means.
Depending how a system or product is configured, the device(s) and the
technology can be configured for just about anything.
Feel free to peruse my American patent, (XXXXXXXXX), but be warned, you
have to scroll down quite a way before the patent begins to use real
English. Ha ha.
And … please appreciate that the diagrams are just that. They are
there to furnish the (granted) American patent. Technical drawings.
That’s all.
Sorry. Changed my mind re my patents. This Pedelec site throws our posts
out publically. I’ll show you an actual product instead.
Hi trex
According to some, the 11 dimensions needed to make one of several
embodiments of string theory work, (in part), suggests that, yes, we
could have other universes, (including microscopic ones), right here,
right next to us … just as we already have thousands of radio waves
right here, next to us …
String theory requires the concept of extra spatial dimensions to exist
but the philosophical theories of the subject remain a complete dog’s
dinner at some levels so insert however extra spacial layers you like in
place of the 11 I have quoted. (A quick look online quotes 10 … and
then 5 … and then … Ha ha
I often go to sleep with a podcast of quantum theory, string theory,
astronomy cast or something equally fascinating whispering in my ear,
(that stuff or just a good old fashioned recording of Coast2Coast), and
find myself being mesmirized to sleep! 🙂
Thank you, EddiePJ,
Yes. Already, I feel my task is nearly done … having, (I hope),
re-animated and redeemed the good name and reputation of a fine,
valiant, and I could almost add, loyal little electric bike that we
should all respect as a true classic example of the genre.
Like the Mini or VW Campervan, I thing the Euro, (and the near identical
looking Commuter), deserves to be acknowledged for turning so many folk
on to the pursuit.
