Pedal-electric Hopper may be the German "car" you didn't know you wanted.
.
The rider's pedaling power is augmented by a 250-watt rear hub motor, taking the Hopper up to a top speed of 25 km/h (16 mph). The motor is powered by a removable 30-Ah/48V/1,440-Wh lithium-iron-phosphate battery, which is claimed to be good for a range of approximately 65 km (40 miles) per charge. An optional rooftop solar panel should help boost that figure.
.
In order to minimise maintenance and mechanical complexity, the Hopper utilises an electronic pedal-by-wire system instead of a traditional chain-drive drivetrain.
.
Such systems work by having the rider spin up a generator as they pedal. Doing so converts their mechanical energy into electrical energy, which is fed into the motor. That motor converts the electrical energy back into mechanical energy, which is used to turn the wheel.
"The final option would be a “fire sale” of his properties, including office towers, golf courses and resorts, but the brief argues this “would inevitably result in massive, irrecoverable losses.”
A couple years ago I was one of the first people on the scene of an accident on #bchwy4 where a large cargo truck ran into a semi truck trailer. The driver of the cargo truck was hurt and had to be attended to by EMT. The semi trailer never stopped and left the scene, it passed me just a few hundred metres from where the accident happened before I got there.
A few days later I got a call from ICBC asking if I could provide any information. I sent a detailed description of where I saw the semi trailer, what state it was in, etc.
A few weeks later I got a random phone call from ICBC thanking me for the report and indicating that it had a major impact. I suspect that it proved that the person who was hurt was not responsible... or it proved the identity of the truck that left the scene.
All to say... if you see something that the authorities might be interested in, report it! You never know who you might help.
The stories keep coming and going and people keep forgetting about them and moving on they fall flat for the next lie coming out of this genocidal regime and it's supporters
I honestly can't understand why we just let this to go on. Abs so many people ignore every outrageous crimes committed by them.
#UN / Israel is deliberately starving Palestinians, UN rights expert says
Michael Fakhri, the UN special rapporteur on the right to food:
“There is no reason to intentionally block the passage of humanitarian aid or intentionally obliterate small-scale fishing vessels, greenhouses and orchards in Gaza – other than to deny people access to food,”
“Intentionally depriving people of food is clearly a war crime. Israel has announced its intention to destroy the Palestinian people, in whole or in part, simply for being Palestinian. In my view as a UN human rights expert, this is now a situation of genocide. This means the State of Israel in its entirety is culpable and should be held accountable – not just individuals or this government, or that person.”
@oatmeal@israel@palestine The total eradication of a people b/c of #Bibi and his hatred of Palestinians. All he wants is to reclaim the land and get rid of every single living man, woman and child in Gaza. He will face his #Karma but it can’t be soon enough for me. May his soul forever be tormented.
Stories of atrocity on October 7 have been used to justify the ongoing assault on Gaza. But several of these high-profile claims have been found to be based on unreliable witnesses or even fabricated entirely. We deserve to know the truth.
True, we *want to know the #truth. What we *deserve is a different matter altogether. Humans are destroying their home planet's #environment and #climate. Were #karma real, we'd already be gone. That'd be a better example of "deserved."
Leave it to the GOP. Immigration was a potentially winning issue for them. This not only pretty much defangs the issue for the Ds, it turns it against the Rs, as it highlights that the R's "crisis" was more about political posturing and performance and pandering to their Dear Leader than policy for America. Even the border patrol union was for this.
