I suspect it was typo in the article, 30mph instead of 30kph.

the current best cells for EVs is CATL Shenxing LPF cells. They have already been used in Chinese EVs. 370 miles in 10 minutes. No battery loss in freezing temperature and easily beat Lithium ion cells on energy density and cheaper than before. They achieve these feats by precisely placing...

as soon as you allow 500W EAPC, they'll go on the pavement and shared paths. They can already type approved as motorbikes. Number plate, insurance, helmet.

15mph is about right for our aged population, with or without power. Young population can still go as fast as they like without the electric assistance.

Suntour NEX (£40) versus Rockshox Rebar (£350). It's not a fair comparison.

I use both brands but now prefer the suntour NEX. It has a typical 65mm travel. Very reliable.

are you paying it this time? :D

you'll have to forgo the (usually cheap) suspension fork (saving 3kgs) and replace the old battery with a new and much lighter battery (saving another 2-3kgs). 10 years ago, posh batteries were made with 2000mAH cylindrical cells. Now it's made with 5000mAH cells. You'll upgrade the gears to...

The current version (12.3.15) is reported to be much better by customers. Tesla update their fsd software every week. Apparently AI replaces about 200,000 lines of code. I am waiting for wireless charging before buying an EV.

The GOP's rank and file sleep walked into handing over the party to extremist maga. They thought they can work with Trump but Trump only wants blind loyalty. That's a dictatorship. You either does what he wants or he'll give you insulting nicknames. No other president has had their ex ministers...

Your wife can have a lightweight lowstep which weighs about 12kgs, add 5kgs for a light weight conversion (XF08C).

how much does the old bike weigh?

There is no need. The e-scooters have no sound economic basis. It is a short term solution to a short-term problem in our urban transport. Soon enough, curry's will find out that customers will bring a lot of them back either for money back or for service which they may not have budgeted for...

I am not complaining. There is virtually no chance that this proposal will get any traction. The tories will lose power in about 6 months and Labour will need to keep our laws roughly aligned to EU's.

FB, google, amazon, credit card companies, supermarkets etc all collect data about all of us, even those which say they don't keep it. We are getting older and have to rely on cloud based facilities and soon robots. Would you rather say 'hey google, set the room temperature to 20 degrees' or...
