    Battery Fires

    I reckon the probability is about the same. Consider that cars may last a million miles and most people would do a fith of that. Factors that may contribute to fire are so widespread that age of the car is one of many. Quite a lot of EV fires are connected to one particular chemistry. Also...

    The diesel emergency generator worked as expected. Apparently, the fire knocked out the main transformer and the backup transformer. That substation supplies one quarter of Heathrow. Two more substations supply the rest. What they had to do was to run the diesel backup generator to keep the...

    Deposits in bank accounts are guaranteed up to 100,000 euros. UK bank accounts are guaranteed up to £85,000. Not much difference.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Von der Lyen says that the EU will stand by Denmark. The assumption is she implies that the EU will stand by all member states. It does not sound controversial to me. Why do you see differently? There is only a few controversial leaders in the world: Trump, Putin, Kim. The rest show at least...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    War is horrible but can energise a nation's industrial output. The Ukraine war gave Russia about 4%-5% annual growth in industrial output. Hitler gave 19% growth to the German economy when he became chancellor in 1933-1939. All the technological progress we made in the last 80 years can be...

    Trump has immunity but can't touch the judges. The supreme court has no enforcement power but can change the interpretation of the law on a case by case basis. All the supreme court does is to send the case back to the Lower Courts with their opinion. Only Congress can impeach high judges. Lower...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Misinformation again. Central banks can create money directly without even printing bank notes. There is no need to seize cash in your wallet. If you want to buy shares in defense businesses, it's up to you but Central banks have to plan where the money is used on a macro scale.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You do realise that a lot of things trump said is exaggerated and sometimes untrue, don't you? China has grown to lead the world in technology and science. Trump has just dissolved the department of education. Do you think American children are now going to beat Chinese children in education...

    Previously, throttles were ignored. very recently, the police is out to stop riders who appear to use the bike as a motorbike, not pedalling at all. My high street got the treatment yesterday. It doesn't matter if you have grandfather's rights for your bike, they'll tell you to remove the...

    It's called counting the chickens before they hatch. It's propaganda for Musk's fans. Already, thousands are rehired thousands more are waiting for their court cases. In most cases, government 's employees can only be sacked in specific circumstances, not by email from doge.

    Tesla stock still has a lot of fans. Not me though, I don't like Musk, ever since he bought twitter.

    26" Peter. It's still early days. Although I have had the preproduction kit for nearly a year, we still need another 6 months to know the product better before expanding the range of motorwheels. I truly hope that its innovative components get the success they deserve.

    Andy checked it this afternoon. The battery on the demo bike was about 30% full, maximum speed unrestricted is 21.3mph. The bike is put on charge now, we'll check again tomorrow. Hope that gives you an idea. The LCD itself has 60kph as maximum speed limit. You have of course to put the speed...

    At the moment, I don't have spare motor lids so the whole wheel needs to be swapped out. In the next few months, I will of course keep spares to simplify servicing.

    Why only pardons are void? How about all other documents that were signed with the machine? I wonder if we could cite trump whenever we want to dispute any online payments on the same principle, it's not signed by our own hand.

    You can use rim brakes at the rear. The 85TS rim has V braking band. However, you need to know that v brakes require more maintenance (use softer rubber compound, keep the pads parallel to the rim and centered) to avoid excessive wear. When the bike is motorised, people tend to ride faster which...

    It should be 230rpm. I need to test it to be sure. The demobike does not have the throttle. I need to install the throttle to test the maximum speed derestricted.
