Took note of the range, of our DECO SUSU model, older version, 3000w motor/72v50Ah LFP battery. New version, battery slightly updated. Took it down to 1 bar (no % meter), though photo show 2, but any acceleration, and the second bar quickly disappears. So a solid 1 bar, and 80 kms traveled over 7 days. Could probably squeeze 15-20 more kms, from 1 bar, but 80 kms is far enough, and I probably wouldn't take 10 more kms, as a bit of battery abuse. I rarely go below 3 bars before recharging. So 90-100 km range, if needing, much less than the 140-150 kms in 'old' promo. Although, 100 kg load, and not driving 35 kph, steady, w/no head wind. Actually more than the manual states, but much less than DECO's promo. Happy with 80 kms, as no desire to be on a scooter for anywhere near an hour. Dog & myself, rarely drive more than 50 kph. Wife was also on the scooter with me this past week also, 1 day, out for a munch. That's rare, as we usually take the car, which was charging for the past 3 days. So the scooter does come in handy, besides my morning dog run to the park & surf.

Another coffee shop near my hotel bites the dust.
KhunLA replied to steven100's topic in General Topics
Sampled more than a few jarred instant coffees, didn't care for any of them. I think I tossed them all, or wife gave them away. -
I even know of one very handsome Yank who left USA in 2000, as US/NATO prepared to attack, invade & occupy sovereign countries for not reason. So happy I ... oops, he no longer pays taxes to support such terrorism ???? ON TOPIC ... as always. Only know, OK, follow 1 comrade on YT, and he seems like a very polite and kind gent.

I've had some pretty krappy brewed coffee over the years, and some 3/1 would have been better. M 3/1 in a pinch or even feeling lazy at the house, it's a quick Cappuccino, though not sure I'd call any instant 'real coffee'. -

A few brands are OK, but the Nescafe brand, that's some vile stuff. -

Moccona Espresso 3/1 (green) when on the road, and not brewing my own or hitting a coffee shop ????☕ -

Y'all need to find better coffee shops. Yet to have a piping hot coffee, as not supposed to be to begin with. Fancy machine won't and shouldn't boil the water. Also yet to have a Cappuccino served with unheated milk, as that would be silly to do. For you home brewer, do put your cup in the microwave for 30 seconds, at least. Who serves hot food & beverages on/in a room temp plate/cup ? Would you poor a cold beer into an unfrosted glass ... blasphemy. -

I hope anyone planning on spending ฿550k and up, on any product would do some research on said product. Yes, I Google'd/YouTube'd ... "MG ZS EV fires" and not one fire, and few credible negative reviews of. Along with SAICs ICE & EV history/track record. Lots of praising & award winning, worldwide for MG & ZS. Was interested in 2020, for EV, though ignorant and still skeptical myself of EV, and so glad I waited 2 yrs to buy in, as updated version w/govt incentive, though buying in at 2020 wouldn't have had much regret. ZS EV being available already for a few years, with no major issues. Actually getting the ICE version was a fluke, as not a fan of the MG3 when first introduced, and only saw the ZS (unplanned) when taking another peek at the MG3, years after introduced, see if upgraded enough to interest us, as it was time for a new ride. Took the ZS for a short test ride, and the rest is history ???? -
I never considered Patong, Kata, Karon, Kamala a destination for Thais. Thais are smarter than that ????

I use the drip funnel, as they all taste about the same, or can be made to, and the drip thingy w/paper filter is so much easier to use & clean. Wife likes the machine, as enjoys the crema it produces. Does a good job, gives a good yield, though not sure about 'better'. More efficient, as takes less coffee for a better yield. If going Moka pot, highly recommend SS over the other metals, for a 'cleaner' taste. Yes, that's from personal experience ???? -
Almost £42 for a quiche lorraine!
KhunLA replied to phetphet's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
Yep ... you couldn't give me a slice of quiche for free. And I like eggs, but not a 'watered down' egg pie. The parts of, taste so much better not mixed together. Sampled more than a few quiche, and never impressed. -

My branded and 'made in CH' are my favorites. Though only one brand/model, ICE & EV - MG ZS. Can't say best yet, as need to stand the test of time, but I'd be very surprised if it doesn't become the best I've owned. ICE only had 2 yrs / 40k kms before sold and no issues, as one would expect. Think I've owned a good variety of, as no allegiance to any brand ... until now. Owned VW, Ford, GMs (Pontiac, Buick, Chevy, Caddy), Chrysler/Dodge, Datsun/Nissan, Mazda, Toyota. Made in USA, Germany, Japan, and now TH & China. Unless a major oops, surely the MG ZS EV will be my last car, as will my wife's. -
Coronavirus / Face Masks Intl Traveling Report
KhunLA replied to TallGuyJohninBKK's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
That's about all that should, especially older folks, who don't seem to survive respiratory infections. Staff ... feel sorry for them if made to wear, but does make a wee bit of sense, since many employers frown about employees taking sick time off of work. Something I never understood ... you're not too sick that you can't work, so come to work and get everyone else sick, so even more people call out sick ???? -
I'd blame the motorcyclists for driving through traffic, illegally like idiots. Wonder if they got cited for reckless driving. That fast, through slow/stopping traffic, you know someone is going to change lanes in front of you sooner of later. Or worse, a pedestrian taking advantage of stopped traffic to cross. Oh well ... lesson learned ? Doubtful

Mind boggling ... as I await for someone to ask: 'how do I unlock my phone/laptop, so I can access the internet/Google for info, instead of being locked in on AN ?"
