Re: New Hybrid Honda PCX coming?

Imagine a different situation. A tornado strikes, and you have your partially charged electic car. Let's assume it is down to 25% and also assume that it equals in battery capacity with the smallest Tesla, which is 70kWh. Also take into account, that you might have a transformation loss of 10% when...

Re: New Hybrid Honda PCX coming?

according to the last figure I saw, only 2.8% of the world's energy production comes from renewable sources We do a bit better here in Scotland. "Renewables experts say this means wind generated the equivalent of 57 per cent of Scotland’s entire electricity needs." Source: http://www.inde...

Re: New Hybrid Honda PCX coming?

Huh, poor little Hybrid PCX opened up a big can of worms While I agree with many of the points I'd add a few things, as I believe I see a few things from a different prospective. I have to say here that I'm quite biased, as we're currently building 2MWp capacity Photovoltaic power plant with two fr...

Re: Winter storage

Maybe its time to let go of our parents and grand parents phobias and rest assure new materials, science and technology has got our backs.

Re: Rusty Handlebar stem!

Has it spread to the actual handle bar itself, or is it just the clamp? (I can't tell from the photo - I can't be sure that I'm not just looking at a reflection in the chrome).

Re: 2018 Honda PCX Performance

My 2015 Honda PCX 150 (K-18) ran 62-63mph on the rev limiter before the NCY variator change. I replaced it with the variator- face-13g rollers and saw the increase up to 70mph (speedometer) 73mph (GPS). I then installed the GIVI short windscreen and Leo Vince exhaust and she moved on up to 73mph (s...

Re: Winter storage

I'd roll it around a bit occasionally. It's not good for tyres to be sitting with one section in contact with the ground for long periods of time. I think it's almost a given that it should be put on the center stand. Yeah, but that still leaves the front. Only a tiny fraction of the original weigh...

Re: How many miles do you expect out of your PCX?

I was fascinated by by flying ever since I've read "The night flight" from Antoine de Saint-Exupery, about age of 8. I only had a chance to start flying a lot later, I guess I was about 32 when started training on a Yak52. That bird is a blast. Nowadays I only fly very seldomly some Piper...

Re: New Hybrid Honda PCX coming?

That said, fossil fuels will not last forever so changes have to come. The numbers show that that point is still about 49 years away though; that's based on existing known oil reserves and current rate of consumption - and it's incredibly unlikely that the world won't discover new oil reserves.

Re: Needed the Gloves Today

I am surprised at how little the riders wear who have those 50cc scooters. I saw one yesterday that had a bicycle helmet on! I would not want to be the test dummy for those helmets if they were in a crash. Most of those type riders also only wear shorts and a tee shirt. Forget gloves. Those are not...

Ya know it's funny you mention those. I was thinking of something similar. In the RC hobby world you can by similar batteries for about the same price you mentioned($15-20). They don't give CCA ratings though so it makes me wonder if they are up to the job. My medium size Align T-Rex 550 Pro DFC (a...
