Five Reasons LiFePo4 Batteries are great for winter

Lithium phosphate batteries, also known as lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries, are becoming increasingly popular for use in cold weather environments. These batteries have a number of advantages that make them ideal for use in cold temperatures, including:

  1. High energy density: Lithium phosphate batteries have a high energy density, which means they can store a lot of energy in a small package. This makes them ideal for use in portable devices, such as phones and laptops, as well as in electric vehicles (EVs).
  2. Long lifespan: Lithium phosphate batteries have a long lifespan, which means they can be used for a long time before needing to be replaced. This is especially important in cold weather, where batteries tend to die faster due to the low temperatures.
  3. High resistance to cold temperatures: Lithium phosphate batteries have a high resistance to cold temperatures, which means they are less likely to lose capacity in cold weather. This makes them ideal for use in cold climates, where other types of batteries may struggle to perform.
  4. Low self-discharge rate: Lithium phosphate batteries have a low self-discharge rate, which means they lose less of their charge over time when not in use. This is important in cold weather, where batteries can lose charge faster due to the low temperatures.
  5. Safe to use: Lithium phosphate batteries are generally considered to be safer to use than other types of lithium-ion batteries. They are less prone to overheating and are less likely to catch fire, which makes them a good choice for use in cold weather environments where the risk of fire is higher.

Overall, lithium phosphate batteries are an excellent choice for use in cold weather environments. They have a high energy density, long lifespan, high resistance to cold temperatures, low self-discharge rate, and are safe to use. Whether you need a battery for your commuter ebike, ecargo bike, or velomobile, a lithium phosphate battery is a great choice.

How (and when) to Lube Your Bike Chain

Image
  Introduction Lubricating your bike chain is an important maintenance task that helps keep your bike running smoothly. A well-lubricated chain can also extend the life of your drivetrain components, saving you money in the long run. It's generally recommended to lubricate your chain every 100-150 miles, or at least once a month if you're an avid rider. Materials needed To lubricate your bike chain, you'll need a good quality bike chain lubricant and a clean cloth or brush. You can find bike chain lubricant at most bike shops or online. Avoid using regular household oil as it can attract dirt and grime, ultimately doing more harm than good. Preparing your bike Before applying lubricant, shift your bike into the smallest chainring and cog. This will make it easier to access and clean the chain. Use a clean cloth or brush to remove any dirt or grime from the chain. Applying lubricant Once your chain is clean, it's time to apply lubricant. Dispense a small amount of lubric...

Roads are for Bikes, not Cars - An Open Letter to Politicians

This post was created using OpenAI's GPT Based Chatbot. With full acknowledgement that the training of AI model's isn't the most environmentally friendly thing in the world- using them for inference (usually) has a trivial impact- since OpenAI is offering this service in beta for free, my guess is this one is trivial too. The images may have a bit more impact which is why we tried to limit them. I used one pass using DALL-E-2 .   Article starts here: As a politician, you are tasked with making decisions that will benefit the greater good of your constituents. When it comes to transportation, it is clear that prioritizing bikes over cars is a decision that will benefit not only the individuals who use bikes as their primary mode of transportation, but also the community as a whole. First and foremost, prioritizing bikes over cars will greatly improve the health and wellbeing of your constituents. Regular bike riding has been shown to have numerous health benefits, such as i...

New website, who dis?

So summer is over, and it’s back to the coal mine that is blogging. Back in April I expressed intentions to reskin the site, and I finally did. But Why? Well, I’m taking some friends to Riot Fest this weekend in the PX50 (formally referred to as the P-500X), which I converted to a rickshaw of sorts, and my sister pointed out it would be a great guerilla marketing opportunity. So I figured it would be good to update the site first. I must say, GoDaddy’s website builder has gotten much nicer recently- I was shocked. A lot of stuff has happened over the summer- some of which I took pictures of, and hopefully it will give me some good fodder to get back into blogging about things. We’re three quarters the way done on our flag ship sportster the SX300, a 3KW Velo cab, it’s still kind of a mess in my garage, but I think it will be underway sometime in October. But I don’t want to go off in the weeds talking about it- this post is about the new website, which as a best feature has a mailing l...
