Volvobrick Supersonic August 7, 2019 Share August 7, 2019 Me too. I am just against their riders. 100% exceeding speed limit and 99% irresponsible. PMDs can stay as long as no riders on them! I am not against PMD but it boils to proper infra-structure. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ender Hypersonic August 7, 2019 Share August 7, 2019 policy makers base decisions on statistics only. if the number of fires double then maybe bring forward another 6 months lor ... why they never think about the neighbours who suffer loss of property and are displaced due to these PMD fires ? sigh ... The gahment moving forward 6 month nia, mean we have 50 weeks or so to live with the fire hazard from PMD. But base on statistic, it's more than 1 pmd fire per week. The means we are risking 50 over more fires for til it is implemented. Didn't LTA consider risk factors? Potential of 50 more fires with lives and property loss is acceptable to LTA? I think they have no safety officer, coz personally felt it's too much to accept. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There goes the argument that the reckless and inconsiderate are the minority. Sunday Times already did a check, and found 100% are speeding on pedestrain pathway. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beehive3783 Turbocharged August 7, 2019 Share August 7, 2019 I suspect illegal modifications. Resulting in over-stressing of either battery or charger. Overload -> overheat -> fire. It seems like times upI suspect that all along these batteries were functioning properly all alongBut with age and use, I don’t what changed that is causing all these firesMore and more sexplodeMaybe some engineers can tellLast time don’t have so many oneNow is every other dayThat’s is why I suspect is agingAnyway, bonus song by firehouse https://youtu.be/sidL7S09jscWhat is that?This one?http://www.galantsolutions.com/compressed-air-foam-system.phpLooks sexpensive man 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kb27 Supersonic August 7, 2019 Share August 7, 2019 What is that? This one? http://www.galantsolutions.com/compressed-air-foam-system.php Looks sexpensive man The one used by SCDF, for protection. The fire, which involved a PMD in the living room, was extinguished using a compressed air foam backpack, SCDF said in a Facebook post. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kb27 Supersonic August 7, 2019 Share August 7, 2019 A lithium-ion cell must never exceed 4.2V per cell. 12.6V battery is often 3 cells in series (3S) and requires 3 monitoring points to make sure each cell does not exceed 4.2V during charging. 50.4V battery (maybe used by PMD) would require 12 monitoring points. Does these batteries have that and does the charger checks all that ? Maybe the cheap ones (battery/charger) would scrimp on safety. Who knows ? and kaboom !

Ash2017 Twincharged August 7, 2019 Share August 7, 2019 I am surprised by the sheer volume of postings about PMD riders exceeding their speed limits and being nearly totally irresponsible. To those drivers out there, please look at ourselves first before we cast the first stone. In this same forum, many can't wait to boast about their excessive speeds in NOT our own country but someone's backyard. Me too.

Volvobrick Supersonic August 7, 2019 Share August 7, 2019 Why should you be surprised? 100% speeding and that's not an opinion but actual checks with radar gun and reported in the newspaper. Mainly these culprits cannot be identified/caught. Whereas for cars, they speed, they kena speed trap/cam, run away also will still be fined.

Ender Hypersonic August 7, 2019 Share August 7, 2019 What's the use of walking gait recognition technology to catch PMD riders? The reason they are riding a PMD is they are too lazy to walk. https://www.scmp.com/tech/start-ups/article/2187600/chinese-police-surveillance-gets-boost-ai-start-watrix-technology-can What we need is the back of the head recognition technology. Let's see the chinese can get this done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
