    I have my moments and enjoy them but rarely keep it up for long. Being first at the lights, is often a temptation I can't resist. Especially where there's a merging lane just after the lights. There's a good excuse for rapid acceleration then, to get out of the way.

    I'm surprised Reintje, our 51 can get as low as 13 in the burbs. On our drive to Bridgetown, going up the scarp, it was about 17. But we haven't seen the predicted range the wizard gets. I think the best I've seen is 410. Very much doubt we ever got that. Edit, I was driving fairly slow...

    Straight line stability

    Can the amount of castor make a difference, to side wind affect? My intuition is that it could have a big impact.

    Regenerative Braking: beginners explanation, please

    Vader, we are in total agreement! I just love how smoooth you can get the drive in OPD, especially pulling up at the lights. There's no way I can get it as smooth using the brake pedal.

    trouble with the guess O meter it's based on past driving, it's got no idea about future driving. Present driving, is just averaged with past, so can take a while to have an effect.

    I guess I can test that, by turning location off in the phone

    Google and Apple maps crazy directions

    Yes I've recently had this, but I had ABRP going as well, I put it down to a conflict between the two. It could also be where the phone is, on it's little shelf, maybe sat reception is very dodgy.

    Regenerative Braking: beginners explanation, please

    Makes no diff, same amount of regen in all 3 cases. You need little or no regen for derusting brakes, it's been said many times before. no regen in reverse, at 100% SoC or in Neutral. If you're brave you can also use accelerator and brake pedals together, (I haven't tried this yet.). Also hard...

    Regenerative Braking: beginners explanation, please

    This is only true, if you have little control over your right foot! The only reason you'd be using more regen is if you lift your foot off more than needed. If you slow to the necessary speed, and no more, the above argument is meaningless. OK, so I guess some people are just used to taking...
