Forums > Living in Kunming > My brand new electric scooter was stolen today

I had the biggest piece 'o' crap scooter I have ever seen. Every piece of plastic cracked scratched and chipped. No lights no brakes no speedo. Missing pieces as well. I never got a new one thinking no one, not even the most desperate thief would want to put their sticky paws on it. One day recently I was parked outside the school where I work. My scooter was of course locked. As I was leaving school I walked up on a guy just walking away from it. Didn't realize what had happened until I noticed the key slot on the lock was bent a little. Than realized that my scooter was already powered up before I put the key in. Interesting. It was a team of three guys. Two across the street looking out one working on my scoot. I walked up on him after he had already gotten the scooter powered up and was trying for the lock. I wanted to have a word but than remembered these guys think they deserve what they can get and would not have a problem puttin' a chicken bone shank in to my side. Moral of the story: If it is what it is than there is someone who will steal it. Scooter Update: That scoot has since died and was abandoned with keys in the ignition (but I snagged the batteries). Bought a second hand one but it is so clean I'm not getting attached.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Horseradish anyone???

Does anyone know where I might find some horseradish? 辣根? I'm not looking for horseradish sauce as that does not go well with bloody marys. I bought some at Metro over a year ago but they don't seem to stock it anymore although the brand, Kiihne, is still on their shelves. Pickles, red cabbage, sauerkraut that kind of stuff they still carry under the same brand name. Checked Wal-mart and Paul's...sans dice. Mmmmm bloody marys.

Forums > Living in Kunming > advice on buying an electric bike

I've seen some scoots that you can take the battery out but you can't on mine without a screwdriver. I'd suggest paying the extra 25 a month for secure parking. Does that include charging? There may be an additional fee for charging. Our building charges 20 per month to park securely and 40 per month to charge. It's the best way to spend 60 beans. I tried to not pay the fee and mine was stolen from our garage. They charge 2rmb per charge when you do it once at a time. I was trying to save cashish by not paying the 40 per month and pay the 2 per but I'd find myself not charging everyday and than worried I'd run out of juice. Now I just charge it no matter what every time I return and it's always ready for me to cruise around on. If you think about it you'd spend more than that on a round of drinks at Uprock or a meal at the Wicker Bucket!

I've owned two different ones never registered and never a problem with the police. One was a 48v and one a 72v. The voltage, I believe, depends on the amount of batteries you have. All batteries are 12v so 4 batteries 48v and 6 batteries 72v. (Correct me if I'm wrong) The 72v goes faster and lasts longer, pretty obvious. However, contrary to mdj I've found they top out under 50km. I'd love to get on one that went 80km. A friends speedometer registers his at going over 60km but when we ride together mine is faster and registering 45km. I have learned to ride as slow as it will go and the charge lasts longer plus it seems more fun to me to ride really slow. The 48v was stolen from the underground parking, guarded with guards cameras, at the elevator of my complex at the so heed the warning of mdj!!!! Always keep it locked and always try to have the parking guarded(ha ha ha!!!) If you end up in the middle of town many of the buildings have pay parking. Usually 1 or 2 kuai. Also, they are a great way to explore town, but know your electric gauge. Just because it says you've got half a charge left doesn't meant you've got enough charge for the same amount of distance you've just covered. When mine reads half I head for home! What else...the things make no noise!!! Nice for on vehicle conversation but pedestrians about to walk into your path can not hear you coming so be careful! Happy trails and welcome to the club! Maybe we should start a gang!
