Where i bailed - railroad tracks 1100E 1100W, West Bountiful/Woods Cross, Utah
Stupidly dangerous and awful road design here in Utah. I'll admit that i wasn't expecting the tracks to come in at this angle, and didn't think about the danger since i'd never seen tracks intersect a road at this angle in 19+ years of bicycling in various parts of the western USA.
Front wheel was sucked into the tracks despite me trying to make a slight left. I had a fat 2.5" wide tire and that didn't save me. Went flying off the bike and was peeled off the road by a guy who stopped after seeing me.. he told me that he wrecked there too when he was a kid.
There is a slight incline before the tracks, preventing you from seeing them far ahead of time. At 20mph, you have about 3 seconds after seeing them to figure out what to do. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3MML8cC240
In this video i explain why, as a thrifty person with a mind for the environment, i love swamp coolers.
The model here is a $120 kuulaire.

Showing machining errors with the tophat adapter.
No such thing as an 8.5mm bolt and no american size bolt will fit.

Pedaling with the motor up a slight incline, maybe 1.5% or so.
Battery charged to 60.5v with only 0.7v of voltage dive at peak 35 amps.
Almost as quick as the MAC motor, i am impressed.

Speed run... no pedaling, 35 amps peak, on 15S lipo, starting at about 62v.
Ran out of road, but it can hit 35mph if you pedal along.
Accelerates much quicker while pedaling. Did not do a pedal run do to incoming rain tho :(

A big ol' rant about how hard it was to get a simple bone deformity identified as the source of arthritis, what the fix is, and what happens if you don't fix it.
You can see the External fixator on my leg at @14:00.
