Car done, god help any other Puma owner, without a warranty, bewhere!
Off on Claudette today, need to get to the bottom of the actual range because something isn’t adding up, the website says 40-50 miles with medium assistance well, I fully charged it yesterday and did 7 miles and the display is saying 99% available. The figures are in the spreadsheet so, lets see if the range declines more quickly as the charge level decreases, once you know what to expect, there is no need to repeat the process.
You might not know what to expect twice.
The riders weight is one consideration, but iv’e no intention of bulking up, ambient temperature is another but, ain’t going out when its brass monkeys then there is terrain, that one is more difficult to provide for but, it would be wise to build in a contingency under these circumstances, unlike a leccy car, I can do the last few miles under conventional pedal power, should the need arise.
Nice but, by the time you get to the mountains it would probably need a recharge, you would definitely need a spreadsheet to control the range anxiety.
Just looked the TWIKE up, its got pedals for christs sake!!!

34000€-50000€ think i’ll pas on that
Production was suspended in 2019, better keep my eye on Ebay 
9 miles done today, plus 7 yesterday = 16 since full charge, 78% battery now showng so it looks like 20 miles will equal 25% battery capacity. Will switch on again in an hour and see if there is any self recovery from the battery.
leccie bikes are not like they used to be, seems alot of faffing these days
Battery has self recovered to 83% one hour on so, this will be the starting point tomorrow
Max, if you bought a Tesla say, and had heard about range anxiety, you would throw the glossy sales blurb brochure away, you would charge it then, given your driving style and other factors, drive it until (not in one session) you hit the equivalent of the fuel warning light came on then, make a note of the real world distance, that is a far more important than a figure in a hand book but yes, there is a bit of faff involved in this process
Off to see a new Moho in the morning, it can take three years to know if an internal layout is suitable for two of you, Its just justifying the extra quids to sort it out!!
Newer reg is a bonus offset.
We may have found it, not what we went to see, something else, fingers crossed.
This is the thing we miss when away, although we don’t have to convert anything at bed time, there is no substitue for a proper mattress.
Note the Aircon, ain’t getting caught out again next summer.
can you tinkle in a quiet corner
Right, tinkle in the Moho, the potential new one has a wet room so, if as a geezer your aim or disposition ain’t all it should be, you can just wash the spills away
