EU manufactured pedelecs don't normally have brake cutouts so that's far from unusual. Brake cutouts usually only appear on e-bikes with throttles, mainly Oriental sourced. Negligence lawsuit? No chance of that happening. .

My skys often look like that, being in the London Airports complex of flight paths. Here's some trails lit at sunset:

Which made me the perfect customer for my Leaf in 2018: Already in my eighth decade of life. Having the surplus money which I can't take with me after death. Having no children to leave it to. And the proven reliable Leaf and battery a car for life at my age, making depreciation...

Of course they don't, using a meter you can't find a fault that is no longer there. Hopefully it won't be an intermittent fault that returns, but if it does you'll then be able to trace it with a meter. Meanwhile it's probably a good idea to give it a little charge once a month rather than...

Or the power of prayer? When Gray put it back on the bike the last time he was probably unwittingly thinking "Please God let it work this time". And it did. :D ,

Of course they are not being honest or good, this proposal has nothing whatsoever to do with promoting pedelec use. The intention is what it has been ever since the outset, when they introduced the e-scooter trial, to include e-scooters in with pedelec legislation in a legal short cut. Hence...

That is disingenuous, you know that you have had a number of negative reactions from members and none positive. We've clearlyindicated that we are not interested and cannot see any point in you posting these accounts. Putting it bluntly, you are in the wrong place for such personal and...

These are often the people who buy a folding bike: Caravanners for transport from the often remote sites they visit. Yachting people for transport from ports and marinas. Flat and maisonettes dwellers who have no garden space or shed to store a bike so have to store them into their home...

Mine was at that 400 miles a year for most of the 1990s and 2000s, thanks to cycling for almost everything No longer cycling now in my late eighties, I still keep my driving mileage down, 832 miles between the last two MOTs. .

My whole London Borough of Croydon is 20 mph apart from the through routes. When it was first introduced nine years ago the Metropolitan Police announce that they wouldn't be policing that, so almost universally 29 mph became the default speed at first. Over time though and surprisingly...

There's two older facets to this subject: 1) The Government's Road Research Laboratory in an little publicised study decades ago reported on the sharp increase in pedestrian deaths after the unwise and advised against introduction of dipped headlights in town, due to other drivers being...
