Some of you might find this useful. The video goes over installation of inexpensive LED lights that are magnetic and can be quickly moved depending on the rack's position. I'm using a 1UP Super Duty rack to carry 3 bikes. Curt LED lights: https://www.curtmfg.com/part/53201 Hitch and Wiring...

I conducted a quick range test using our 2018 LEAF SL with two mountain bikes out back on a 1uP Super Duty rack. 2" reciever is from Ecohitch. Data logged using LeafSpy Pro. Calm winds, flat section of highway driven in both directions, no drafting etc. Speed was set at 100km/h using the...

I purchased our 2018 LEAF SL from a local driving school that had installed Tuxmats in the car when new. The car came with a full set but after 3 years of student driving/teaching (previous life) they were getting a bit tired, particularly the driver side. I was impressed that the new ones...

On the agenda is a the winter to summer tire swap, final drive oil change (no other oil in an EV!), brake service, corrosion management, and trailer hitch install. This is the first hoist for the new to me 2018 LEAF SL, shown here with some rather pedestrian studded winter rims and tires/TPMS...
