  1. Hookers in Chicago trying to make a buck… 15 below zero trying to sell butt….

  2. Don't buy Chinese batteries, problem solved!
    All Chinese technology are stolen patents from USA and Europe. Chinese skip all safety regulations and ate definitely not UL certified even if they have a sticker saying they are, they are fake.

  3. E-bikes aka wannabe motorcycles.

  4. Ya there is alot more fires because there is so many more bikes now. I use the lipo4 chemistry which has many advantages, but slightly larger. And sodium ion is looking very promising. I also have a stainless battery box just in case, I always use a bms . My flashlights are lipo4 also. IMO large battery's belong outside , just in case. I'm not really a believer in Regen charging because I will damage the battery if you change when its too cold and I need smooth braking. My battery is also incased in a water proof box . Just being near the salt water can corode unprotected cells 🏍️

  5. WEF Climate Change Hoax going down, MSM talking heads.
