Actually, last time I did a repack (which was about three years ago lol)- I had actually taken photos, which I still had in my NAS... Luckily my Dewalts at least have labels... Actually I was wrong, the BMS is internal on mine (it was the old one that didn't have the internal BMS) (not all...

Thats why a 'lab power supply' is better than a car battery charger- you have 'constant current mode' which gives you current limiting- set the current limit to a low value (I personally use 1/10th the cells capacity) and the voltage very low to begin with, give it an hour or so and see if its...

Remember that a 125 in particular isn't a big bike and if their COG is like my old one- its pretty much in the center (or even slightly rear biased)- so really, even a 30cm 'rear overhang' behind the axle would be more than ample- basically the bikes would just be sitting right at the back...

god, haven't seen only fools and horses for ages...

Same here, a new trailer has a lot of new regs to meet, but an old one like my boat trailer only has to meet the regs of when it was built... (I actually game the system a bit here- building a new 'homemade' trailer is $$$ these days with engineers certs required, fees etc etc (I could buy a...

I gave the weight of a fairly common 125cc bike up above (a quick check shows most are actually a few kg lighter) so two bikes would be about 280kg, leaving 470kg for the trailer- I know my own boat trailer (which is a center beam plus 2 shorter side beams, triangulated at the front- with the...

As an example- using a KTM125- it weighs 137kg- if we weighed it and got say 65 kg on the front wheel and 74kg on the back wheel on a set of bathroom scales- we get 139kg (so pretty close to the listed weight of the bike) and we have a 0.94:1.07 front to back weight split... 1:1 would be...

LOL- only took a minute or so in LibreDraw... Most bikes I have ridden and transported were actually pretty much neutrally balanced ie not that much difference in weight between the front tyre and the back, so having the 'balance point' of the bike slightly in front of the axle of the trailer is...

I was thinking something like this (see if it makes it clearer) existing trailer is in blue (light for axle, dark for 'backbone' beam of the trailer) Two new support beams (basically copies of the existing axle- minus the wheels of course lol) mounted the same way and underslung the same way-...

Have you seen the 'skeleton' motorbike trailers- that kind of thing would be perfect for your bikes for two bikes (three would be an issue, because of the dinghy's rollers in the middle) Get some C-channel wide enough to fit the bikes tyres, fit two 'sideways beams' to go from channel to...

Cute halfcab (although I am not a fan of those little trailer tyres, seen far too many 'spin off' a bearing- keep the bearings well greased and your speeds down!!!) Many of those little tyres are only rated to 75 or 80kmh- I was overtaken at 110km by a guy with a dog trailer with them on, and...

You assuming much (especially that an Aussie might not be from the UK originally in the first place, or not still have family and relatives living there...) :unsure:

Lived there for many years, before moving north... these days I'm a 'canetoader' lol with 40 acres of Aussie bush on my land... I will never move to the big smoke again lol- my nearest neighbour is almost a kilometre away, and after living in a caravan in various towns working in the mines foe...

That's the Australian prices, and basically starts at TWICE the price of the Atto3 with the long range battery I am looking at... 🤯 For that much money- I'd expect it to be well into the 'luxury' class, not an 'allrounder'... The MG4 was cheaper, but it doesn't have a towbar available- which is...

Quite a few people living in the 'big smoke' indeed already are at that point (except for the cybercabs bit lol)- with decent public transport and 'supermarket home delivery' here, many have already 'dumped the car' entirely... (my sister managed to go for quite a while with only having one...

LOL- I drove my old Dyna 2 tonne truck like that for YEARS here- the cutoff solenoid failed- so I just disconnected it and stalled it every time I wanted to turn it off...

That is known and accounted for by the ABS (which has comprehensive breakdowns of all their data.... ALL of it- it can take hours to wade through it all looking for all the details) But that same curve you are taking about also means that many don't 'need' to charge daily- or even weekly... if...

Bloody mansions compared to the terrace houses I lived in in Sydney- HUGE!!! (hell the footpaths nearly the same size as what you had to drive down between the parked cars!!!) And yes- that center house (I am assuming you mean with the dark brown fence- most certainly could park a smaller car...

Because the average Aussie drives 12.1k kilometres a year according to the ABS results in one of the slightly under 20 million registered vehicles in Australia, of which 14.7 million or 75% are privately owned passenger vehicles... Given that there are 52 weeks in a year, thats 230km a week-...

Yeah- it wouldn't be costing me anything at all (as opposed to over $76 in diesel in the Hilux!!!) :unsure:
