They should pull their finger out in Australia. Battery Recycling Shatters the Myth of Electric Vehicle Waste Making a battery for an electric vehicle typically requires mining hundreds of pounds of hard-to-extract minerals. That’s put a spotlight on batteries’ heavy environmental toll, at...

It's an old greenie thing, they usually do this on fourwheel drive tracks. It's happened before in the same area also.

If you have a large amount of overland water flow you could add water pits to slow some of the water down.

You can get powder coated screws, the best thing to resist salt water is a mixture of engine oil, fish oil and paint thinners. Paint it on with a small paintbrush.

I'd expect them to be both unrestricted otherwise it would be pointless like you say. Heeps of other tests out there, I saw one ages ago where they test top speeds. You're only going to get what you pay for most of the time. I won't be spending 12k on any e-bike I'll tell you that much.

Now you're getting pedantic:D. I never expect the world for half price but whatever the world gives me for free I'll take.;)

I'm not sure how they rate them, I've seen some reviews of the M800s and they seem quite powerful. It's buyer beware with all this Ali stuff, you really need to do your own research into reviews to see if it meets your expectations. I'm just looking at them as a low entry e-bike, if I wanted...

I've run a carbon Chinese frame before, had no issues other then sourcing spare parts. I could transfer many of the parts I already have onto an E frame which would make the build cheaper for me. Vitus makes a low entry bike with one of the Banfang motors but I haven't seen them sold here...

Even light vehicle mechanics work upside down under dashes, I've lost count of how many brake, clutch master cylinders and steering columns I've replaced. I don't think I could do it now at all, my back is stiff like a log and I can barely see anything without glasses. Trying to move around...

Ol Woolies trying to rip workers off.

They've got some good reviews with the proper frame mounted motors, Chinese make pretty much all the motors and batteries in any case. If the named brands want to play all these games with proprietary parts, it would make me buy one even faster. Easy and cheap to have a spare Bangfang motor...

It's not my car, but yeah they have a remote or a button.

I sent one to someone on here during Covid and they didn't even flinch, not sure how long the frame was though. I've got a 2m ladder coming from Vic via Fastaways it that helps?.

I've sent one like that before with Aust Post.
