Nevermind our own inflation. Trump wants to devalue the dollar to make Chinese goods less competitive. Inflation in the USA will hit the roof if all the locals can buy is made locally. Congress is trying to pass a law that limits Trump's tariffs to 60 days then they need congress' vote to...

It's no worse than presence of methane gas in mines.

The Crusa has a throttle which can help you going up a hill or rest your legs if you are tired. Bikes with a torque sensor don't have throttle and the motor gives more power if you pedal harder which makes them unsuitable to those with health or musculoskeletal problems. With torque sensored...

Well, if Americans are happy to pay trump's tariffs then let them pay. I wonder how soon they will tell him that make America wealthy again is only true for a few in his cabinet.

I wonder how long before trump fires either Peter Navarro for pushing him to do tariffs or Musk to call Navarro thicker than a sack of bricks. Where does that leave the man who takes advice from someone who is thicker than a sack of bricks? Now China is responding to trump upping his tariffs...

They are exploratory experiments to learn how hydrogen can be used in practice. Hydrogen is produced at present by steam fracking but it won't be so in the future. It will either be mined or from electrohydrolysis. France has a huge reserve of hydrogen in Lorraine, under the old disused coal...

UK and many other countries are looking into hydrogen. The main source of future hydrogen is from the layer of soil below known coal mines, at around 1500m below sea level. Hydrogen will then be mined like hydrocarbons.

The people who did that video are idiots unless they got paid to say 'EU backflips on tariffs in a humiliating display of weakness as Trump executes plan perfectly'. Either way, I take it that you agree with that point of view to repost it here. Why do you want the EU and by implication...

They have pretty much same specifications. The wattage is part customers' demand to comply with local regulations, part choice of copper wire. I can ask for maximum current while rated and labelled as 250W. For 48V, I usually ask for 20A max. That's plenty enough of safety margin. You can...

The connector has 4 wires. I am not certain but thought it's ground, 5V supply, data transmit and data receive.

I am not certain but thought it's series X with two staged gearbox.

Trump will double down for a few weeks but ultimately, he has no choice but to negotiate down his silly tariffs when it is clear that investors are moving their money out of the USA instead of in. Gatt average tariffs were 22% in 1947 but only 5% in 1999 and now around 2% for a reason. Supply...

Half the tarrifs, half the pain on EU consumers, losing only half the votes in future elections.

It wasn't a secret that China sells treasury bills and buy gold to make the rmb the world new best reserve currency. If you go back to 1944, at the time of Bretton Woods agreement, the usa held more than 50% of the world's gold. Trump won't bring the jobs back to the rust belt. He will lose...

Everybody will have to take a long term view to stay in the automotive business. Stellantis and Tesla get their EVs made in China so very little upfront cost and easy to make a profit selling them to Europeans. Ford tries to make them in the USA, so they lose more on amortising startup costs...

Andrew Neil on Trump's economics: 'a lot of old b*llocks'. He's not the only one.

that's common situation with all tech products. If you don't sell your e-bikes within a year, you'll have to discount the rest.

Customer feedback: Hi Andy, Thanks for the bits. I finally managed to find time to fit the kit and try it. All I can say is AWESOME. The kit took less than an hour to fit - the back wheel just slotted in and I did not even need to re-index my gears. The longest part was tidying the cables onto...

It does.

Meloni: 'When Europe lost its pride, tying its economy to autocratic regimes...etc'. I assume she didn't mean autocratic regimes like Putin, trump and orban? So which autocracies did she mean? As far as I can see, Europe isn't freeloading on American military, it's rather America spending large...
