@Jamorobo @Chelt_Hackspace Show us the vision, and let's go!

@SwytchBike @SwytchBike?

@SwytchBike I've got a Go kit on order - I have two bikes and would love to have them both converted but can't ride them both at the same time so don't need 2 batteries and they have different wheel sizes. Will you sell me a kit without battery and charger?

Staff instantly defensive and refused to acknowledge returns policy as written on their website. Left the store without the bike, a refund or even a credit note, and unhappy with the bike and the service. 2/2

Really disappointing experience with @EvansCycles Cheltenham today. Tried to return the Cannondale we bought 7 days ago which has now got more rust than 10 year old bikes in the same garage, and worse has so much play in the front fork that the seal visibly opens up. 1/2

How cool is this? 😲 Take a look inside @Chelt_Hackspace! 🛠️💻🧶

@KateFantom @Gill_Nowell @cleevelymotors @106Euan @She_sElectric @FoxGeorgiou @ecocars1 @QuentinWillson @WillFealey @AukeHoekstra @F1Ruaraidh For the earlier Model S, one of the most common reasons for battery failure is water ingress. Does the Altelium plan cover this?

Here’s the traction battery SOH report from our oldest MG5. It’s now just under 99,000 miles and 2 years old. This test was carried out a few weeks ago by Paul, one of our techs. Key points here’s are; - Rapid charged daily - Very high usage 250-300 daily - Battery degradation is tracking Tesla’s predictions at 12% over 200,000 miles - The MG5 is fantastic based on this! “Great, but I don’t own an MG5” I hear you say! No problem, keep reading. We’ve (the garage guys and the mobile guys) been working on something for many months with a company called Altelium, which essentially allows you to purchase a battery plan to cover any unexpected traction battery issues, or you may be buying or selling an EV and would like to show this info to a perspective buyer. This test is carried out by us, it’s incredibly accurate and doesn’t simply read the BMS measurements as many do. Altelium review the data we send, then providing everything looks good, offer you a plan off the back of it. Essentially putting their money where their mouth is!! Although our MG5’s manufacturers warranty has expired for the car and battery, we still have this option should we need it. We’ll certainly sell them on with one of these attached. Picture 3 shows what we can add. This applies to almost all EVs on the road, but there are a few still being debugged that will come later. Also, you get 2 months from the test to mull it over. If you have any questions about this please contact either Kate - mobile@cleevelyev.co.uk David - david@cleevelyev.co.uk

@jonathanalevi They're great!

Seriously, if I didn't have a good baby carrier, I don't know how I'd get any work (or dancing) done. I use it so much that the other day, someone ELSE's kid was crying, and I caught myself bouncing up and down out of instinct to try to calm her down 🤣 #dadlife

@OctopusEnergy this doesn't look right does it

@KubeSail what's the ETA on the 5 bay PiBox?
