As long as an electric bicycle is under 750 watts it is considered a non-motorized vehicle in most state and federal parks. Figured it might come in handy for some locations where collecting is legal and motorized vehicles are illegal. Both handle rough trails. These machines flat out cover some rough ground. ZZ rider for lower rolling hills. One speed rear hub motor design. Casual cruiser. Can pull a trailer with 200 pounds of rock over low hills at reduced range. Legal max 750 watt motor. Range on flat ground with out peddling at 20 MPH - 20 miles  Hot rod hill climbing machine with microprocessor smart mid-motor. Only 350 watts but drives thru gears for much greater efficiency. Must be peddled to engage motor assist. May have to carry rocks in a back pack on this one. Range when moderate peddle assisting - 50 miles Range when barely peddle assisting - 25 miles  |

Hoping to move them to a less visual location here soon. I ordered 5 electric bikes Lynn. One for wife, two for friends and the two above for me. Drove the white bike 21 miles yesterday. Maiden voyage. Hit some trails. Only used half the battery. Totally used all of my battery, feeling it this morn. Many that ride them want one. They are a riot to ride. Out west especially hint hint. |

It is a cargo bike and my wife carries a good bit of cargo lol(you could blackmail me...). They are copying the older vintage bikes and converting them to electric, very popular trend Pat. Wife's bike:  |

Looks like fun. I wonder if I can get an electric assist stationary bike? Would make my workouts more enjoyable.

I like that tank. Could make an autoclave from it. Nice I get the tank, gotta explain the autoclave twist. It has 3 front sprockets, 6 rear. 6 X 3 = 18 speeds. It also has a regenerative motor. Charges back to battery coasting hills, braking but only <25% efficiency. |

That would probably due a daily batch if things go as expected. So far so good |

What type of mushrooms NRG ? Edible gourmet and a category I am calling "ornamental". These are any other mushroom. Today three categories are grown. Active Medicinal Gourmet These add up to about 50 species. I want to pioneer the new category to help grow the hobby and add perhaps 500 species. Mushrooms come in crazy crazy colors and shapes. Would be fun. This feels just like the reptile business of the 1980's. I was there. |

You should look at growing wasabi radish in your aquatic plant systems. It sells for like $15,000 per thousand square feet. Portabello grows on manure. |
