people knows me on the 24 forums that i am a member of that there are two things i hate most. and that is a Chinese scooter and an electric scooter or any vehicle ran by electric.
there are just a big difference in time between charging a battery vs. filling up a gas tank.
battery is only good to start a car not to ran them.
i find it so stufet, if one rides an electic bike going to his destination and the battery discharges, you mean he has to charge them 6hours before he can go back home?? or he might want to carry an extra battery which weighs a ton!! so dumb them electric vehicles!
and if the bike dicharge in the middle of the road where the hell can you find a 110v wall outlet in the middle of abdesert..?what a dopey invention.

sorry for the early morning rants,

i need a coffee , no room for cream no sugar

Where to start?
A) 24 forums?-get a life!
B) You hate Chinese scooters. Why? We've all shown that they're perfectly fine in the hands of a GOOD owner. Guess what that makes you.
C) I don't think I've ever heard lamer arguments against an Electric bike. The Brammo and Zero have ranges over 60 miles easily. I'll bet you could get to Starbucks with that. How far do you ever ride after you pull yours off the trailer? Around the block at Amerivespa as I recall.

And as for this.
Warning: watch with your own discretion youtu.be/4j9r96WJGw0

I started to watch it but the guy making it is so ignorant it's frightening. Why not just put up the one with the empty headed, deaf Vespa owner. Better yet. List them both. It only goes to show that if you can't get a Chinese scooter to work you should keep it to yourself.

The old image tags of the former software V4 won't work. [img-] [/img-]. I put a hyphen in so they would show up.

Two ways to put a photo on. One can't be used now and it's the old attachment way directly from your own computer. PB has put a size limit on what a forum can use, why? The attachment function downloads to their server, want more storage then pay for it, that simple or Rich can comb through hundreds of posts and delete old photos, not very likely he would do that to get back under the storage limit.

Second is the easy way, can't do this on the Quick Reply unless you know the HTML image codes but on the regular Reply screen just click on the images box in the icon menu and insert a "direct" URL of the image. The image icon is this:

Example of a direct URL image link:

i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac258/bashan_2010/Avatars/Temo_11.png

The software supports, jpg. png. gif. and two or three more. When clicking on the image icon a pop up appears with a place to insert the url and it will have the start of the URL already there as in http://. Either erase it with the X or only paste your URL without the beginning http://.

BTW when you go to that site it clearly says, this site uses cookies, to use it correctly you must accept their cookie. Links will be broken from their end should you not accept them?

Some one needs to tell proboards about fixing stuff that works right.(as in the old software) Also all the posts but one here would have been gone had there been a delete button to get rid of stuff that don't work right.

One can delete posts just got to learn how? On the right top part of the posting page there is a gear icon symbol

  with a drop down arrow. Click on the arrow and a pop up comes up with several options including "delete post".
