Do you mean in general, or specifically from Verge? They don't have one, never did, probably never will. If you didn't know (that long video explains it all) they're the parent company of Donut Labs, it was a spin off in an attempt to save the dying brand (and I guess it's worked for now with all the funding they've got) however Donut only actually makes motors. The batteries were supposed to be coming from Nordic Nano using technology developed by CT Coatings. However this supposed miracle battery never materialised (no surprise there), but Donut decided to continue the lie. The main guy running the show is a con man, I can only assume his intention is to keep it going and get as much money as he can and then do a runner.

Same for me, says access is forbidden. That really sucks. It is available on the internet archive with the most recent snapshot being from back in August, probably hadn't changed much since then to be honest. I don't know what happened to it but I noticed maybe a year or two back some articles had been messed up, all the content missing and then a nonsensical message at the top as if someone had edited the page and didn't know what they were doing.

It's not solid state, it's just a regular old lithium battery. It's a plain old scam, I don't think it meets any of the claims they made.

Not even close. It's just a high end lithium battery, he gives some examples of others in the video that perform as well or better.

The only ones that have had access to the battery is VTT or whatever that did the testing, I'm assuming they signed some sort of contract saying they can't just cut it open and see what's inside.

Fran, it's about a minute of quiet background music. Pretty standard for any video these days. If that's enough to put you off then you probably wouldn't make it through the whole 45 minutes.

January 1st 1970 is when Unix time started, which is basically the zero point from where all computers count from to know what the time is. It's why in many calendar apps you can't scroll back before then, because to the computer that time doesn't exist. Being the first entry in the logs it can be assumed it writes that before it does the count to figure out the actual date and time.

Error 31 means battery module ineligible, whatever that means, but I would take that to mean the fault lies within the battery and not the charging. I would also assume this wouldn't allow the bike to ride, did you try this?

Using two stations is probably reasonable enough, but anything beyond that becomes a hassle. The cables are only going to be long enough to reach a vehicle parked at the station, not 5 parking spaces down, and if they extend the cables you then have a load of excess for those using the stations normally. You've also got a big mess of cables all trailing to one vehicle and even if the truck didn't take up all the spaces for all the stations you wouldn't really want other vehicles parking there anyway. You'd also have regular customers getting pissed when they turn up somewhere to find all ten spots taken up by one vehicle. It's also probably easier to insure one big station is functioning than 10 little ones, although one bonus would be that in the even of a failure or two you would still be able to charge at a reduced rate instead of just not at all.

Yeah it's been a bit shit the last few days, getting various errors upon refreshing.

Well that's a very unfortunate failure, hard to think of anything much worse that the front brake falling off. I couldn't find a decent photo of the Origin's front brake to see how it compares to the Pulse, I wouldn't have thought it would be any different except for having longer stanchions when they've got the same size rotor. I suppose the larger wheel can put slightly more force through the brake but I doubt that difference puts the Pulse under the limit.

I don't know how I'd feel about their fix being a reinforcement bracket. I know it will do the trick but it seems like a band-aid fix, a bit of a DIY solution someone would do at home. It probably has to be removed to remove the caliper and for the life of the bike it's always going to have to be there, if some future owner should forget to put it back they'll be back to being at risk.

That's a bit of a shame, I suppose flipping the fans may have made a little bit of difference but a degree or two isn't going to be enough to stop it shutting off. If they're 40mm fans then the Artic S4028-15K look like they can move a decent amount of air and not a bad price in a 5 pack on Amazon, they draw about 6W each.

12
I didn't look closely at the fans so assumed they were blowing front to back, odd for them to be the other way round. You should get a little bit cooler temps as the fans will draw in air from any open space at the front of the charger and along the way, currently they're only drawing in air from the surface area that the fan blades cover. I don't know how much space there is for the bottom fans but if the configuration is the same as the top ones it looks like you could fit some slightly thicker ones in there too.

13
I see, they've really crammed it in there. What is that silver box? It's been a while since I took my tank off but I don't remember seeing that in there. I was thinking it may be the doghouse and if so I have a 7.2 so it would make sense it wouldn't be in that location as the battery is at the front with the storage compartment in the rear. If it's not attached to the battery I'm just wondering whether it could be relocated easily, even if it's just scooted towards the back of the bike a little bit.

14
I didn't realise they had fans as I've only ever seen photos of the units from the side, but it makes sense for how much waste heat they'd be dealing with. Do you have any photos you could share? I'm curious to see how badly they messed up with the mounting bracket.

Is there no label for the columns? My first guess would be an average, minimum, and maximum.
