Did you or anyone on here leave your KT controller like it was delivered and ride it exactly how you like it?

Kunteng and to a certain degree, also Bafang address the desire of some advanced users who like to tinker with their kits by providing them with easy to follow configurator tools. Albeit I accept it's reasonable for customers to have the choice of switching between speed control, current control...

Tell that to millions and millions of Bosch step through bikes.

I like Starmer. He's got a tricky job to do and he has done well so far. Few would have managed to work with Trump and the EU and have a huge pent up demand for higher wages and huge health care backlog and 7 million economically inactive and 1 million youths not in education nor employment and...

The connection is France and brexit. Our history intertwined for a thousand years. France got nuclear solutions for electricity generation right, UK is playing catch up with wind.

In the 90s, I had a customer in Sheffield, a city suffering from de-industrialisation. My customer started to make medical instruments, surgical kits for hospitals. His business flourished. You have to be brave in those situations. A lot of new techs do not depend on location.

.. Retraining is probably the best solution or moving house but I can see a lot won't be able to do these two things. This is where the communist countries have a good solution. You will see large numbers of people employed by local governments to keep their communities squeaky clean and...

Tariffs are the wrong tools. Biden's chips act for example is much better. Subsidies are not inflationary and force companies to create good jobs. Tariffs risk reprisals, inflationary and disrupting supply chains. Trump's tariffs is stupid move especially against China. Bessent could have told...

It's already law in the EU since 2015, 10 years ago, you just didn't check. By-catch must be landed, no fish discarded at sea. By-catch is used to make fish oil and fishmeal for fish farms.

I can't see Jordan Bardella as future president, however, there is a but somewhere. As opposition party, RN is doing very well but fundamentally, France is rather conservative with a small c. French have a conservative wallet and a socialist heart.

Decent wages cannot bring manufacturing back. The root cause is our capitalism is the system is not self regulating. We don't have enough negative feedback mechanism for that. Left to the free market, owners will shut their factories where labour is unionised and salary is 'decent'. In the...

The UK only partially protect their MPAs.

Period Wind constraint payments Amount (early gas) Full year 2024 ~£393 million — Jan–Feb 2025 ~£253 million (wind) ~£210 million (gas) Forecast 2025 Up to £1.8–2 billion — Not just wind generators, gas generators are equally paid compensation when they are forced to switch off. The...

Trump's second presidency may do us all a favour. Trump reduces US hegemony. China has already setup and uses its digital currency to facilitate international trade. The ECB will learn from that. In a generation, digital currency will be used everywhere while the USA will still has to pay huge...

Africa is vastly underdevelopped. People move to where there are jobs. Manufacturing will move to where wages are lowest and energy and supply chains can be organised. I reckon the problem will solve itself with China's belt and road initiative in the next 50 to 100 years. Here are the current...

France has 500+ MPAs where fishing is banned altogether. A lot more than 13.

On conservancy of fish, the UK is behind other European countries, even worse than France. ChatGPT can confirm this. Quote: The UK has made significant strides in fisheries conservation, especially since Brexit, but it presents a mixed picture compared to top performers like Norway or Sweden...

You should know that France bans fishing for scallops from 15 May to 1st October every year to protect the species while uk doesn't. --- Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) France has over 500 MPAs covering both coastal and offshore zones. These zones often ban or limit fishing to allow ecosystems...

If all you do is listening, we'll go nowhere. Starmer has to find workable solutions. Farage doesn't.

I know that but there may be something outside the animal's DNA that gives to migratory animals like Monarch butterflies their memories.
