I've been thinking about following that forum more because there's some interesting stuff on the website, but I always get bogged down in pedantic discussions. It seems to be a lot like this forum sometimes- someone gets it in their mind that they can save 0.25% of their energy and dedicates 10 pages to the explanation. Oh well. I guess that's part of where innovation starts.

A fairing seems like a good idea for an e-bike just beause you don't have to work up so much of a sweat while pedaling. I don't think I could use a fairing between April and October, even in the Great North. I just heat up too easily. (Then again, while my commuter is very useful, it's an aero disaster)
