1. The electric bicycle vendor advised me to buy the Li-Ion battery because my commute has steep hills

... with large current loads. Bionx said that they don't recommend the nickel metal hydride battery. www.bionx.ca

Their (Trinity’s) engineering with a capacitor for high current loads sounds like a good idea though.

I am glad that they noted that the hydrogen cars are ”not going to be available”

The background music was distracting.
