My name is Kobe. I commuted for over 3 years on an electric bike. Next was our attempt at Vanlife in a VW Vanagon with my lovely wife Stephanie and our little dog (Lily) in Jun 2020; but the universe had other plans. This is my journey through life, eBikes, #vanlife, auto, travel, and tech.

My UFO Sighting
This happened in Apple Valley, CA. Next time I'll be more prepared on filming, but this at least shows some of the experience.
Let me know if you saw this too? July 29th, 2023 at 9:25 pm.
UPDATE: appears like it's the starlink system really interesting though.... here's another video I found it's someone else posted on a different event but you can see it's pretty much what I experienced czcams.com/video/ihVuz8uM1qU/video.html
Take care,

People complain about the 0008 battery error. For this a very simple worked for me. I short circuited the +- and it started charging normally again. Thank me later.
How accurate is the available hot water percentage? I don't actually care about the smart energy saving stuff, but am very interested in knowing how much hot water is left.
Am about to make serious bank
Quanto costa grazie
Cadence sensor for assistance should be made illegal...they don't 'assist' they take over... People don't know how to properly use it ... Killing 70 year old ladies for example...besides you can pedal backwards and still engage the motor...
How expensive is this and is it available via Amazon? I could definitely use this on my ecosmart metro scooter.
Did I miss the fix? Looks like you just pushed it back on. I'm looking for a way to secure it
How are the pedals holding up?
how did you mount the radio to the car if you did?
Has anyone tried glueing the gear on? One other tip I learned the hard way don’t reset the trip while the van is in motion, after so many times it destroys the gears for the trip and odometer.
I got the same problem will try and lubricate using WD40 silicon spray I’ve noticed your odometer reading is 148,000 they all seem to have this problem around that mileage, if I can’t get working or becomes a regular thing then I may get a digi fizz
I like that a cadence sensor allows you to pedal as much or as little as you like with torque you must pedal continuously. With a cadence and my level of fitness I can go on a 30-40 mile bike ride but with torque I would be limited.
How to connect usb drive for music?
just ordered one for 120usd well woth the money just for the legs
Best thing is not to ride with a valuable bike if you need to lock it up somewhere. Don't have it stand out and still use a U-lock of at least a chain if possible. It's sad that cyclists don't get better options to park their bikes in public spaces if they always talk to us about going green
I have ordered those in two turns, all together 8 pieces for my 4 teenagers. After a few months only one remains in operational condition. It is made of cheap material
So sorry to hear that. It's been some time since I last did that video.
Coming from a motorcycle to an ebike, this is super informative. My main concern was exactly this.
I like the cadem sensor and the hub drive... The leader of the pack.... Don't ask me why cuz you won't be happy with the answer
Installed a new LCD display and it was showing Km/h which was driving me bonkers, thanks for the video, changed it to the American MPH
What size engine do you have on your beetle. Mine is a 2.5. And you video was very helpful! Thank you!
2.0l
If I'm buying specifically for the auto open feature would it be worth it
I still use mine everyday so I would say yes. Plus you can set it to auto close if you leave the door open for too long or if you leave the door open past 11:00 p.m.
@@smidgelife what percentage of time would you say it works out of 100
Jasion uses torque sensors surprisingly. I got the EB5 and was shocked by how smooth the pedaling was and how I could get way more range due to how efficient torque sensors are.
Expensive, every time i hear the cash register 😅
And it was ... It was an experience and I'm glad it's over 😁
For best effect you need two magnets.
I’m about to take on this challenge very soon. Great content.
Thank you.. your comments about 'thingies' really speaks to me. I am hopeful that once I work out how to take the dash apart that my fix will be this easy.
Can I borrow Juan?
I know right? He's amazing.
Also “fixed” mine like this. Unfortunately it won’t last more than a couple of months.
thanks for the video. I replaced a new drawer. But it still open when the dishwasher is running. Do you know what else it would cause the problem. Thanks for you time.
are you saying it's still will not open or it remains open?
Can you be motre specific on the hinges/ Are all 4 the same? also where did you purchase them?
All four were the same I bought them on Amazon but I just looked and they don't sell them anymore. look for something with quick release that's marine grade or at least stainless steel. Best of luck
It’s actually a very good table for the money. My brother and I bought the 7ft table and played on it last night. As long as it’s leveled it’s actually pretty great. Get a large leveler that will fit side to side. Level each side, the middle. Adjust that first then level long ways. Use the adjustable feet and If you need more use flat hard surfaces like large washers or thin flat wood. That’s what I did and it worked great. The middle will level out when your done fine tuning
nice 👍🏻 I was wondering about the seven footer.
Where can I buy the board? I thought it came with board 😅
Would have been helpful to see you actually replace the item instead of talking about it
I totally agree. it's just at the time I wasn't sure if that solution would actually fix it so I didn't start filming until it worked and then I'm like crap. but really it's not that hard. kind regards
Normally the order of bike security is, cable lock, folding lock, chain & padlock, then D lock 🔒 u'r welcome 🤗
I'll be honest, it looked terrible. Next time sand the dash pad down first, add filler using a proper spreader. It usually takes around 3 coats before it comes out decent. I get my exact to match dye from classic dye products to the original brown
totally agree. it was still better than what it was prior but I agree with you.
No one makes aftermarket replacement pads as of yet. I hope so someday. Perhaps GoWesty will invest in getting some popped out at a decent price .@@smidgelife
Replaced my starter with a brand new one, it had a slow weak start, sometimes after a good drive stop to fill up and it barely wants to start. What the heck right? my issue was the ignition harness plug. I remembered disconnecting mine to swap out the wiper arm mechanism. It was not plugged in all the way, Starts right up like yours does now. My battery is brand new and fully charged too. Of course there are many reasons, sometimes it's the grounds, it's the battery terminals etc...
Each one is a snowflake ❄️ ha!
Indeed, ❄❄@@smidgelife
What about the level? Ist perfect or no?
Hello there, Kobe, quick questions. My universal automatic headlight kit stopped working. I meant to say, the headlights will not turn on automatically when dark? Everything else works fine. Any suggestions?
Other than check the wiring, checking with the company, not sure. I sold that car a few years back. Hope you solve it soon. Regards
How much One tire
It was so long ago I don't remember but I would check online so you can get it for a decent price they're really good tires.
Nice ugly car
Thank you for posting this useful video
Good review , thank You
Thanks! It was fun
I would have kept the old canister and replaced all the hoses. On my Porsche 914's, you could also pry open the charcoal canister and replenish the charcoal (purchase at a pet store that sells fish/aquariums). But the question you didn't answer is did the the smell stop? Did you end up having to look at your tank, expansion tank and all the hoses (plastic) up there?
Professional establishment used Zip Ties on a flex line under a vehicle mounted propane tank. OMG why is the ridged tank line not straight with the tank?!
I had one that gave me no sound. I had to cut the blue wire and tap the red.byt now its not shutting off or turning on with ignition
Humm...a few have reported the same....not sure
Would you happen to know the difference between the BLT-HD and the aptX - HD ?
Word of advice. Stop using pods they do more damage to the circulating pump and drain pump impellers. Use cascade liquid, your dishwasher will last longer.
I have an old terminal (not the same brand. its a nsprit opus 220) and thank you so much for covering how to connect it. I'm ordering a pizero (and serial hat) to see if I can just get it to run matrix code in the background.
Is the fan noise from projector annoying?
Just a bit yes. Any fan solution would be.
22 Ft Lbs! That seems like too much.
