Something I haven't made in years, as wife does a fine job with ribs. Though a little heavy on the sauce and sweeter than I prefer. I just paint on a thin coat before putting under the broiler for the finishing touch. Even managed to have some leftovers.

How do you say ... Google is your friend. Wasted enough time with you, as you have no real interest in E-MB. HAVE A NICE DAY

"Price it not so important compared to use." Might as well just buy a Neta V EV car, about 500k, or roll the dice on the Wuling Air EV, <400k for some savings, since really not needing higher specs. One of the best selling 'mini' EVs worldwide. You could go cheaper IMO mini EVs, but not sure any of them have lithium batteries, or the track record of SAIC-GM-Wuling. You're not going to find anything, 3 or 4 wheeler EV, trike or 'golf cart-ish' EV with any good specs or even a lithium battery will get you the 100 kms range you're looking for, especially with a bit of a load. Think they start in the 100-150k range, and may not even have a lithium (LFP) battery. If wife a bit younger, she'll get a lot of use out of a Neta V, and or pass down, even the Wuling Air a better choice. Anything less, will be headache for her down the line ... IMHO

I just have mandatory 3rd party insurance on the motorcycle, as I drive very conservative, since dog and or wife is with me, and just locally around town, or short trips on country road. Actually folks here drive very good, and it is a scooter, and not going to cost much to replace any parts. 23 yrs of scooter riding here and yet to have an oops, so way ahead on the premium curve.

So you have no electronic device, as all carry the risk ? Oh wait, you must have some, since here, what a risk taker you are. Buy crap, get crap, worry about crap ... and crap might even happen. I on the other hand, don't worry about any of my electronics, as don't buy crap. UP2U.

Saw Thomas's line up way back when, and nice looking. But pricy. Now their entry level models are 20k baht more (no govt incentive mentioned) than DECO's, and spec'd about the same.

And all heavy vehicles & trucks, along with teen drivers, real or wishing, that do rabbit starts and hard braking. Another silly ev hater post... ... troll on Off topic, and more appropriate on the ICE vs EV thread

Actually the 'front basket' was a deciding factor, as the dog needs to sit somewhere. Although no longer needs the top basket, as trained not to jump out now. Harley mode optional

We know what extreme you are ... ... your house will burn down ... your phone charger might not work on you motorcycle THANKS ... very helpful

Yep ... buy crap, get crap Where's the motorcycle plug ...

Nothing even close to a DECO Motorcycle battery charger ... My little charger for my ebike is half the size of the DECO charger

The 18k seems to be the govt incentive, if comparing price of the model, with the price in the promo photo. Ours cost mid between that 2.5 yrs ago, but was same price for a couple years. So now 10k cheaper than ours, with a better battery 👍

Charger came with the motorcycle, and branded DECO. Seems decent quality, though can't say I ever peeked at the specs. 3.6kWh battery charges up pretty fast, and usually less than 2 hrs (30-100%). I never go below 30%, though ours doesn't have a % gauge, just idiot bars. When it starts flickering from 3 to 2 bars while driving, then we plug in. At rest it will stay at 3 bars at that point. Since ours is a bit older, newer battery is LFP, and doesn't mind being topped up to 100% daily, if wanting. Ours prefers, like phones, not to be topped up to 100% all the time, although I do, but if using daily, that 4-5 days of riding, as I don't really go that far, since the park and surf, where dog & myself go in the AM is close to home. I haven't noticed any degradation of the battery, over 2.5 yrs, though probably a bit has taken place, but nothing noticeable.

Thailand ... nuff said

Don't do that, as I'm rarely there, and never at night. Just speculating, as 2000 people really isn't that many. 2000 crossdressing men would be silly, or even 200. Only reason I'd be on that soi is for SOHO Pizza, and that was a while ago

don't know if anyone stated yet, but I'm 99% sure, that photo is photoshopped. Zoom in and there is telltale signs along the arms. And really, who cares if someone is holding a Thai flag.

That why people research & ask questions on forums. Hopefully to get answers from experienced people, instead of people who watch anti EV vids on YT, and are now experts ... warning of pending doom, and the house burning down if owning an EV. Everything is all new to everyone at some point, but some people actually researched, bought in, and are experienced. Others not so much, but happy to give advice, when they probably shouldn't. After the advice is given, still up to the one posing the query to do a bit of due diligence, unless trusting the source of advice. Since we're all strangers of a forum, then go with ... "trust & verify" to be safe. I feel very confident in the advice I give ... ... just don't ask me for relationship advice, as it will come with a disclaimer; 'married 4 times' along with 2 failed live in chickies ... F'me But it was all fun ...

I don't get out of the car when at charging stations. Someone has to unlock & lock the car, beside, all but 1 app is on the wife's phone. She has no problem plugging in, as I see many ladies doing the same when we're charging.

Yep ... can be frustrating as all hell. A lot has to do with your personal experience & knowledge of RE buying and or investing. Also the replies have a lot to do, with the posters experience & knowledge in RE ... ... along with, was the experiences in TH positive or negative ... AND WHY I'm extremely experienced, even had RE License back in USA. Much will also depend on how long you've been in TH, how long you plan on staying, and WHY are you buying ? Last but surely not least, if all goes tits up, can you afford to walk away, as many found out, they couldn't, and it affected their happy factor, apparently for the rest of their life. Actually no different than a divorce and losing everything you thought was yours in farangland. When an OP comes on a forum, and needs to ask 'financial advice' ... I'm going to give them 'RENT', as a knowledgeable & experienced person, wouldn't need to ask IMHO Condo buying is safest bet, as you own it, but will rely again, and your RE savvy, but at least it's yours. Generic questions are tough to answer, and if you have something specific, then better. But that's rare on the forum, so many don't waste their time. Many OPs never acknowledge or repost after receiving info, giving many the 'why bother' attitude, and just tell them to rent, as safest all around. Unless in it for the long haul, more than 5 years ownership, as applies to most countries & RE, and rent is the way to go, especially if only been in TH for less than a few years. You haven't answered 'if TH is for you ?' in that short of time. The culture, heat, smog wears on people who didn't do their research or haven't been here. I lived in Memhis TN USA area for 5 yrs before coming to TH, and 100°F +/- for month wasn't rare. But TH can and is brutally hot, March, April & May till the rains start. Hua Hin & Northward have horrendous smog 4-6 months a year, whether some fail to admit or not, the numbers don't lie. TH is NOT for everyone. That might take a few years to realize, and maybe a year or so in different areas of TH, before buying.

I don't believe it either but it was in the news, so can't fault the poster for mentioning. Have you been on soi 11 on a busy night, 2000 would be easy. And 20 hundreds is 2000 ...

Excellent quality electric motorcycles are cheaper here to buy ... if you don't need the range or top end speed. I personally would never buy another petrol vehicle, cost more to operate & maintain, and not as enjoyable to ride ... IMHO

You get what you pay for, and a lot of those fires are down to 'user error' #1 avoid charging indoors #2 don't leave unattended #3 if cheap, use fireproof battery bag The uncommon common sense ... doing research. Does someone really have to tell you everything in like. Daddy Google will hold your hand. Holy Buddha, last time I checked, we were all adults on the forum, or suppose to be.

Yes, and one of the few brands that can. The dealer did all that for us. They have a fairly decent dealer network. Probably more than shown on map, as having one locally now, and not on the map. If you don't need range or top end speed, E-MB is the way to go IMHO. Really is fun to drive. I drive ours daily when weather is cooperating, not brutally hot or raining. Had a Honda Wave 125i, and last 5 yrs of owning, I drove to the petrol station to top up fuel & air in the tires, and to the dealer to get oil changed & chain adjustment. Sold that as never used, and bought the DECO and wife is like ... ... W T F, you nuts ... but we both drive it when we can. If going to have a passenger with you most times, or a bit out of town, I'd get one of the 2000w motor versions, w/larger battery. The 1000w motor models have removable battery for condo/apartment charging, hopefully on the balcony, out of sun, or in fire proof battery bag. Ours gets charged in the carport, not problems. The AT***, instant torque is great, comfy, quiet, smooth. *** has selector button on handlebar ... 1-2-3, for changing juice to motor for higher speeds Ours being their largest, will do 90kph, per promo, and I've done 87kph, so that's accurate. Does a bit less range than promo, but more range than manual, that's strange. There's a couple other AN members that have DECO scooters, and enjoy them. One does regret not getting a 2000w vs 1000w, for a bit more range.

Or one really needs to know what they are doing or be very lucky. Think I was both, as 1st Thai wife was typical ... "are you that F'g stupid' ... yep, BUT, smart enough, had POA, and sold the house without her involvement, sort of. Wasn't even at the Land Office during transfer. Lucky with #2 Thai wife, and didn't even bother with POA, though do have usufruct, not to protect against her, but relatives in case she cropped out early. Redundant now, as daughter is on all the paperwork.
