MooN Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Im rather proud of myself this evening, finished a long term project restoring a “Louis Philippe” wardrobe ( 1840 ish) that belonged to wifes grandfather and had been left to fester in an outhouse. I’m not a cabinet maker or restorer but i reckoned i could make it useable again and possibly nice looking even. The photos are probably fkin hooge, sorry, no access to poota just mow. Ikea are shit compared to this, the whole thing gous from flat pack to fully operational in about an hour, all held together with just 6 wooden pins on top of this achievement, i managed to diagnose and repair the 12v socket on the tiger ( im crap at electrics and hate it but got away with this one 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trick is to ride away in off mode, then turn it into eco mode. By starting is turbo boost mode will ruin anything you do after. Anyone that had ever cycled will know that keeping a 20kmh average is proper hard word, turn on turbo mode in an electric bike and suddenly 25kmh uphill feels like the walk to check your mailbox in the morning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting in ‘off’ mode completely defeats the object of an ebike but I do appreciate the general approach you’ve described Pedro. I started on ‘Low’ progressed to ‘Eco’ and settled on ‘Mid’ for 95% of the ride………but it was a shit load of fun going up very steep hills in ’Extreme’ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
