    Free public battery charging scheme

    For the sake of an extra 1kg or 1.5kg for battery weight I don't see the faff for the charger routine on a ride. I take enough wh to manage a 160km ride and the bike takes the weight and isn't that noticeable unless one has to pick it up to carry.

    My home made ali drink bottle 6ah/264wh battery is very removable and takes seconds, approx. weigh it still near 1.5kg but very easy to carry. When I go to the bank or shop it always comes with me, only last week I popped in to the bank plonking it down on the cabinet at the side of the cash...

    brakes

    Technically surgical spirit is a formulation used in medical terms, it contains castor oil and oil of wintergreen Rubbing oil can also contain ethyl alcohol. If one sticks to 99.99% Isoproponol then it is a good brake cleanser .

    Isoproponol is widely used for cleaning PCB's due to it being nigh on neat spirit, being neat it leaves no residues.

    Rubbing oil/ surgical spirit is not the same as Isoproponol, otherwise they would be 100% not 60/70%.

    More Seizures

    Though not the UK mainland , in N. Ireland a magistrate in Derry has given a rider a meaningless three year driving ban for a D&D offence on a scooter. No ins or licence , he also received a £400 fine, there was no mention of confiscation but one assumes so.

    More Seizures

    It is endemic with plod training , they think they are and at times above the law so must have the final say, with their bad attitude and how they deal with the public it is no wonder there is little respect . As we know with EAPC law some have very little idea and the ones who think they...

    DVSA Twist throttle E Bike / Step Through / Minimal internal gears / Belt Drive / Storage racks

    Wisper are the default brand we recommend if one wants a legal SVA twist & go bike. Wisper CS is good and the owner has a presence on the forum often posting and answering to posts.
