  • Have fun with that but please be careful with them. Lithium battery fires are no joke. I would suggest a secure steel lock box to store away when not in use. Or keep it out of the house.

    Lithium fires are fast, aggressive and impossible to properly extinguish. Once started they are self propagating and can only be doused until it’s essentially exhausted.











  • Wait. This isn’t correct. You need the handbrake engaged to start this process.

    You do this on a hill and the car is going to roll backwards and you’ll never get the engine in gear without stalling it.

    1. Clutch fully in, Foot brake in, handbrake engaged
    2. Footbrake off, right left shifts to gas pedal (in case you need to rev the engine for more power)
    3. Gently back off the clutch until you feel it bite into half clutch. Slowly release the handbrake as you progress into step 4.
    4. Gently give it some gas while you continue easing off the clutch until clutch is fully engaged.
    5. If you are going uphill, you need to give it more gas in step 4.

    Edit: this might be helpful.
