- LwiddisExplorer IIThis will lower my workload greatly. Reduce the need for new shoes. Not much opportunity for advancement in this business.
- K_CharlesExplorerIt says E-Rickshaw but rickshaw means "human-powered vehicle"
- MEXICOWANDERERExplorerSix emails later, I do not know the price

GRACE asked me WHO WHAT WHEN WHERE WHY, then Henry asked me more questions. Then HENRY wrote
I am going to turn you over to (email link) YAHOO address
This may be the way a communist country does business but it's not my cup of tea. Adios people's factory # 986 - MEXICOWANDERERExplorerEcho
- Old-BiscuitExplorer IIIElectrically Powered Rickshaws
Forget Lithium....old school tech
Hot thing coming......Single crystal Graphene
Game changer! - MEXICOWANDERERExplorerOne thing about graphene, such as for a bulletproof vest. It may prevent entry of a bullet, but it does nothing to dissipate energy. A .44 mag round impact anywhere near the heart will induce cardiac infarction unless scientifically designed padding spreads the energy over a wide area. Very useful is the study of the US Navy and torpedo protection...the best way to prevent torpedo damage was to clad the hull with water filled blisters with relief valves. A solid hit on a battleship's armored belt prevented penetration but the shock transmitted caused propeller shaft misalignment, broken electrical components, and dozens of hatch closure failures.
Every game changer needs to be taken with a grain of salt. - gboppExplorerAmish buggies use batteries for lights. Why not rickshaws. :)
- phemensExplorer400AH battery with a .1C discharge rate (40A)? No thanks!

What does that have to do with batteries, energy storage --- DC electrical systems
Game changer...that was what they said about Henry Ford - MEXICOWANDERERExplorerThe philosophy of miracles is long on word count and mighty short in function. I've no doubt the final score evaluation with existing lithium examples will come up short when it comes to cycle lifespan versus total kWh for the money. There has been insufficient time and examples available to fuel an adequate verdict.
Due to too much saturation of Shell gasoline with TCP, STP the racer's edge, The teflon and chlorine oil additives, the JC PENNEY forever battery, absurd tire claims, carbon in the battery, oil in the battery.. the gizmo claims are never ending.
Time testing will separate hyperbole from reality. Two thousand full cycles equals many many years of boondocking. And virtually forever solar charging life where daily recharging starts off with 70% charged rate. Expecting active monitoring and control circuits to endure 5 years of activity is asking the moon. I build electronic power control circuits and even using cost and size is no concern attitude 5 years is asking a lot.
The problem is I won't be around in 5 years to see it. If money is no object then this is a capitalist society. But please refrain from singing unproven rhymes of praise for an unproven product
