Not sure about the accusatory title - where's the evidence it was doing 50mph? It seems unlikely you can screw 50mph out of such a small vehicle / small volume unless it's a very expensive 'special'.

From the eBay advert: Magnesium Bicycle Wheels are the lightest among all of the metals used in transportation tools. They can improve potential speed, are very stylish with a comfortable ride and a lot stronger than spoke wheels as they are shock -absorbing. And from a comparison of mag/alloy...

Two motors will give: - more evenly distributed weight - evenly distributed grip (both tyres are driving) - a failsafe: if one motor fails the other can keep driving However, against that the downside will be higher overall weight.

Going off-topic is a natural effect on long threads, but now you're getting a bit random. Or were you thinking of eating them? ;)

> any flaws to my plan please? Legality. 15.5mph is the max assisted speed in UK. However, sensible riding can mitigate that, decreasing the chances of being pulled.

The comparison is a good read (thanks!), but for the ebike owner it's a bit of a moot point. Lead acid batteries are too large & too heavy for the average ebike. The reason they're still in cars is that space generally isn't at a premium. Some of the more expensive motorbikes are, on the other...

Maybe something like a Topeak MTX beam rack: https://www.topeak.com/global/en/products/91-Racks Most seem to take 9Kgs, which should be much more than your battery weight. There are options with pannier sides too if you don't want to strap the battery directly to the rack. We have one which is...

I suspect it depends on the battery width & length, but in a waterproof bag strapped under the top tube, or on a rack. Here's a posh example for a Fazua: https://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/fazua-energy-bag-frame-bag-1125007 Crazy price.

> two most hesitant groups That's wrong. > two most hesitant 'education level' groups is correct. Rather than focus on just education* as you did, I'd say their mini-summary on page 12 is sensible: - Further investigation into hesitancy among those with a PhD is warranted. That's a good open...

Maybe: https://global.beeline.co/pages/beeline-velo I know someone with the motorbike version, and quite likes it as a clean alternative to full satnav.

Ha! No need to drop war references in, or we'll have satisfied Godwin's law before the 3rd page of comments, for goodness sake!

You cannot magically wave a wand and say 'Let us exit the overall system, but leave trade rules the same.'. You can't have your cake and eat it, i.e. you can't separate autonomy from trade. All trade deals (EU or otherwise) mean certain decision/policy-making freedoms are given up, in order to...

Spot on. Hence why the Irish Sea border is required. You've got to put it somewhere, and a border in the sea is much safer than a land border. Also a land border would bust the ideals around the Belfast Agreement (and which I erroneously named the Northern Ireland Agreement. Keep up everyone...

If you can't agree trade rules, then you get borders. We (well someone here) voted to leave a trading area, therefore we have to re-erect a border. There is no choice. Long term ways to avoid it: 1. Create a fresh NI-Eire only trade agreement. That's possible, but expect the 'divorced' party -...

It's been well understood* for a couple of years that Britain couldn't leave Europe and still satisfy the Good Friday Agreement without also adding an Irish Sea border. This is a direct result of Brexit which I presume you voted for. I believe the sweet sweet phrase that applies here is: - Suck...

Without being cheeky here's an example: - a Royal Correspondent reports on the royals. They are not themselves royal. - a Disinformation Reporter reports on disinformation. They are not themselves disinforming. I think you're reading what you want to see, so to speak. Either that, or you're...

Snippet from LinkedIn: > I cover disinformation shared online globally You are really not doing yourself favours. That's not 'their' disinformation, it's other people's disinformation, obvs. Having said that, what on earth are you doing trusting LinkedIn as a source of hard facts anyway? If...

It would be very helpful if you put some sort of intro to a link when it's a very long and detailed article, otherwise we'll be unindated with random stuff that won't get read. Example: "Probenecid, which is used to treat gout and gouty arthritis, may have the potential to help Covid patients...

That's something we can agree on.

I was aiming at other posts in this thread, flecc, not yours - hence the topping and tailing of Nigel's post. If you feel I'm misrepresenting Nigel (or your own post), I'll be happy to remove my post. Nigel's factual post is the pin popping a lot of hot air 'opinion'.
