I made it for 18 months in Reno, where it's also cold. I do not want to live in my car, but I am money constrained. What I want is a 1kWh battery bank to plug in a normal electric blanket, but I can't really afford it...still looking for a car. Thanks.

    Why is it fascinating watching my own lived reality on youtube? The two times I’ve used the term working class in from of work colleagues they had a horrific look on their faces. Seattle people seem to be allergic to the idea. As a working gay man it astonishes me how so many gay people afford living. There are plenty of people who absolutely do not work who are provided for in Seattle which completely makes no sense. And I’m not talking about senior citizens.

      I wouldn’t unless you have really good ventilation. It’s not intended for indoor use. Last weekend I did some baking with it inside a cheap pop up tent with windows open and it did heat up the place. It’s fairly efficient on fuel. I cooked normally with it every day for a while and my one pound bottle would last about a month. That was a mix of stove top and baking.

      Sorry about the late reply. Don’t worry about the affiliate fee. I probably got it if you clicked the link. Sounds like a programming issue. You can use either the app or the control pad to change the settings. If you email Burchda they can probably help you out. I’ve had good luck communicating with them that way. I do think that 28 is the actual top speed of my bike even with the speed limit removed. It doesn’t have enough power to go much faster. Depending on the weight you’re trying to carry and weather conditions, it could be that 25 is the top speed for you. I’d send a message to Burchda though and see what they say about the programming.
