I'm aware of the throttle limit so going to give this a go and see how bike feels with throttle limited and 15.5mph. 4pmh might be useful for taking off from lights. Can you post link pls to that thread as searching here is pointless? Ooft, innocent until proven guilty in UK, no? If it says...

The law is a mess... You can 'overclock' most things if you apply more voltage... I was an electronic engineer by 'trade', I got out of it when the arse fell out of electronics business late 90s when most of the big boys went bust, massively downsized or just left 'Silicon Glen' (see what...

I have three rear hub bikes at the moment of varying power and state of use. All are rated as 250W. Now :) :) Especially the 1500W one. But I could just be making this up, copper/ It's all made up rubbish innit though to suit the suppliers, no? Pants...stamp them at 250Pants. I saw that...

I forgot the full stop after 500W. As you have already mentioned legality doesn't affect power, speed, safe driving or crashes or really anything...so why bleat on about 250W?

That's my point, how is it illegal if it was 'rated' at 250W? And what's the definition of manufacturer that would stand up in court? At what 'point in time' is the motor defined as being a motor as opposed to just parts? Out of factory, builder assembling it from parts then messing with it...

It is a bit nuts though, isn't it? As long as a piece of paper or a sticker or a stamp from the manufacturer certifies it as 250W then we're all good so law has to accept that as proof? Has this ever been been called or challenged in any court of law? Does the court case come down well the...

That is actually a very sensible idea on paper in town, but for example most of central London is now 20mph but with little segregation anywhere that I've seen? So because the speeds are lower congestion just builds up even more so you got bikes/ebikes/mopeds/scooters etc. all weaving more and...

They don't advertise the bike lanes here (that were previously part of the road that they have 'sectioned' off with some paint...), to pedestrians as that would be chaos, could you imagine if people started to walk on edge of the road with kids and prams and dogs etc. rather than on pavement...

20-22mph is the sweet spot on a bike in decent conditions (for me anyway, strikes the balance of getting me somewhere in a reasonable time (I got rid of my car 7 months ago as experiment) versus feeling safe as still in control of bike). If the law was 20mph I would certainly look to downgrade...

Someone made an editorial decision not to get in to battery fires which I think was sensible however they got the most basic technical fact wrong when mentioning 250W and forgot to mention 'continuous' so that's poor research to get such a basic important fact wrong. Whilst they were happy to...

BBC 1 8pm....I so hope that this will have some sort of balance to it but Panaroma has been for many years now designed for morons to watch so I expect the level of journalism to be technically inaccurate and biased demonstrating a severe lack of understanding ot the base problems or the stats...

I won't even read any article in the sun and Adrian Chiles is a horrible cnt, everyone knows that, he's no fckn journalist and has been writing shite like that for yrs now for Guardian...

Yrs ago there was a craze to mount a dremmel or clone flexible shaft on a 3D FDM printer head (the reverse GCODE could be generated from software), worked quite well for certain tasks like engraving

Did you buy it from a shop or was it delivered? It's only just occurred to me that I got the 5l of 99.9% IPA delivered through the post from ebay seller (was 2yrs ago now), is that even legal?

Fck me, are cans of petrol now also randomly catching fire....?? I've got a 5l plastic jerry can full of 99.9% IPA in my kitchen, do I win?

I skimmed this and it nonsense essentially? Must've missed the bit that says 'this will cause less fires', save the money and spend it on big **** off clear stickers that say charge your bike with correct charger. Really big stickers, and stickers are cheap, really cheap, probably you could...

Shop and kits should always come with a suitably rated charger.

170kg, hmm, might be fake slate pool table?

Depends what you buy, things like music gear, guitar pedals and FX units tend not to be faked and there are some real bargains to be had and they are usually 50-65% cheaper than UK. Most the bike stuff is the same as you get here too. The mouse I'm using right now is deffo a logitech fake...

Hardly a surprise he got busted driving that s1ht show.
