Rohm Nexus Electric cycle Review after 2 years use

-

My bicycle brand is not very popular and is from Haryana and has no website etc.  It is rather unknown generic brand. I initially checked Hero lectro models but since lower end versions of Hero Lectro didnt had removable battery and I needed removable battery. So, I had to abandon Hero Lectro.

I purchsed it from my local bicycle store. However to check the picture and configuration of this cycle I am sharing the link of this website which I accidentally stumbled upon while trying to look for a website of my bicycle's website for future customer care and warranty registration needs, at least what I thought would be delivered to me.

Only online Link of my e-bicycle on the internet - https://bliveevstore.com/product/nexus/

I have used this on bad city roads and for exercising purposes only. I also participated twice on 2 separate cyclothons and maximum distance covered on a single go was 20 kms.It costed me around INR 26,000/- including GST. The body material is no very good quality and starts rusting very quickly. Use WD 40 to remove rust and park cycle in shaded place.

This was my second bicycle and my first e-bicycle. I dropped it twice but nothing happened. I have been using it for past 2 years and I can see the following:

1. Due to rusting the joining of the plastic mudguard which was a metallic piece screwed to the main cycle frame was loose and maknig sound when tyre was moving. It has to be replaced.

2. I also had to fix the dis brakes on both the wheels by tightening it with allen key.

3. The battery work erratically sometimes when my tyre went inside a pothole. I didnt fall and cycled as usual but I saw the battery power went away.So, I purposely drove over a pothole next time during the same trip and the batter connection became stable.

4. Bicycle is little difficult to padel if you are switching from a normal cycle to e-bicycle and especially if  you have turned off or not using slight throttle. It becomes extremely painful if tyre pressure is low.

5. I have driven the cycle over over bridges without any problem by holding the throttle ligtly and pedalling.

6. I have reached 40 km per hour speed by holding the throttle and cycling as tracked by strava.So, wear a helmet and gloves for safety and wear sports / walking shoes to protect your feet.

Both the times I fell down my bicycle, my hand gloves saves my palm.

Distinguish between barotropic & baroclinic conditions of the atmosphere

-
An air mass which is defined as a large body of air whose physical properties especially temperature, moisture & lapse rate are more or less uniform horizontally for hundreds of kilometers.                             barotropic condition of atmosphere is theoretically ideal condition where surfaces of constant pressure are not intersected by isostereic(constant density) surfaces, so that in a vertical cross-section isobars(imaginary lines joining places of equal atmospheric pressure) & isotherms appear parallel i.e,zero baroclinicity.It is a rare phenomenon & is found in case of frontogenesis,separated by baroclinic front zone.          Baroclinic condition of atmosphere is seen in comparatively narrow zones (perhaps 1000Km. in width) of thermal discontinuity also known as fronts in air mass property. They are belts of sharp meteorological gradient recognized as distinct factors in the origin of mid-latitude disturbances. The instability is associated with rising wa

Airtel DTH: Error B001/Error B003 and Why I left Airtel possibly for Better

-

Why did I decided to Leave?  It has been 2 weeks since I complained about B001 error and Airtel in between replaced 2 set top boxes but problem remained. I have replaced everything as per "diagnosis" of airtel DTH technician but no solution could be reached. Currently, my balance has been deducted from INR200 to INR 10. There are discrepancies with the bills issued against parts replacements conducted during this period. It must be stressed here that I as a customer felt cheated, neglected, harassed by Airtel +Service Partner and I was a 7-8 years+ customer. We never saw that set top box seals were broken in front of our eyes for both the replacements by technicians. My comparison chart for new service provider

Why do isotherms shift north & south from season to season?

-
An isotherm is an imaginary line drawn on a weather chart or map to join places of equal temperature. Temperature varies from season -as there is high temperature during summer & low temperature during winter with minor changes during transitionary seasons. We know that temperature is proportional to atmospheric pressure & inversely proportional to density.                                                        A.P.=K*D*T                                                           T=A.P*1/D where,A.P.=atmospheric pressure;K=constant;D=density;T=temperature      During the summer season in either of the hemisphere's the sun is vertically overhead of the tropic of cancer/capricorn.The land which has a low specific heat capacity & also being a bad conductor of heat re-radiates the heat to the atmosphere resulting in the spreading of molecules of atmospheric gases due to the heat energy. As molecules spread over a wide region it's pressure on the land becomes l
