I was on sportsbikeshop.co.uk shopping for blinker fluid when i found this product. I was always on the fence about an electric bike but now that you can really hear it i think its finally time i went out and got one. It even enhances electron flow.

* ...the best and the only way to enhance electrons flow one an electric m-bike is to remove catalytic convertor & O2 sensor. Period.
* Mr.P, have a question: can I use my vacuum brake fluid bleeder to flush & fill blinker fluid?

If you do just remember to tighten down the valve with a 3/8" reverse spanner and count to 10 before activating the bleeder. Theres a lot of pressure in old blinkers. Youll have fluid all over the walls

Hmm....Counting to 10 you say... after carful inspection, I found no bleeding nipples, so it tells me that my blinkers are SOLID STATE with reverse polarity.

Did it not change after Brexit ?

Gotta say, the sound clips on that YouTube video are pretty darn cool. At SEMA, a few of the traditional exhaust companies were showing off their fake sound system exhausts for the new Ford Mach-E.
This was funny... my neighbor is a die-hard gearhead. He's building a twin-turbo Malibu drag car in his garage, and has his buddies over with their hot rods to wrench every weekend. But his wife, who is a nurse, spends a lot of time driving, and they just took delivery of a new Tesla for her. Very good timing too, as they ordered the car before the S hit the F as far as gas prices here in California - you can't touch a Tesla right now.
He was walking his dog past my garage yesterday as I was changing oil on one of my bikes. Sensing that I would pull his man-card for buying electric, he said "Hey, look, you probably saw our new Tesla... Yeah, I know I'm a car guy, but this thing is the quickest car I've ever driven!"
I told him all was well, that I had ridden a new Zero electric bike at a demo recently, and saw 70mph before my brain knew what happened. I was hooked, other than the price tag. His man card was secure.
