    Actually 21 years, during which time almost all the EU and other countries with this law have expressed no problems. Its almost exclusively a British problem, due entirely to the mess the DfT made of introducing it contrary to the accompanying instructions. The same is true for the throttle...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The USA does have a share of the Arctic, they own Alaska which is generally considered to be Arctic. It has an arctic sea coastline and one third of the state of Alaska is north of the Arctic circle. The reason why Trump (and the USA) want to possess is to complete their obsession with...

    LA Fires

    Amazing isn't it. Tornado driven seas flooded New York. Year after year central American tornados destroy huge numbers of properties. Annual fires destroy ever more properties and the death toll rises all the time. But still they believe in a merciful God who is on theIr side! .

    Could have its tricky side, LHD or RHD? And insurance on a grey import might be expensive. Indeed, especially if we could export BYDs etc to the EU. ;) .

    I apologised earlier for saying it was temporary, but knew then that it isn't permanent either, since the TCA was clearly a stop gap and admitted as such, to enable trade to continue pending more permanent arrangements. I've now dug out the detail with three quotes: "Either the UK or the EU...

    Agreed, but as I posted how can one do that with no access to the shaft of the motor in either geared hub motors or mid drive motors when in use. Impracticality which EN15194 also exposed. .

    Why, please explain? You asked me not to implicate you, but surely you implicated yourself when you quoted my post with a clear contradiction. It was entirely reasonable for me to show that the contradiction could not apply. We all have the right to reply. .

    Stop being bloody minded. Your implication was blindingly clear, that other courts could be used. My reply that they could not was entirely relevant. .

    I didn't say otherwise, quote: "The only action open to us now is to cancel the inclusion of this EU law in the Great Repeal Bill, replacing it with our version in British law." We are not free to change motor vehicle laws since such EU trade agreements specifically require adherence to EU...

    The incidence of dendrites is very small, showing up mainly where very large numbers of cells are involved or where misuse or poor manufacture provokes their formation. Historically the large number of laptop battery fires was due to poor manufacturing, accepted by the cell makers with...

    Not relevant Peter, being for the following motor vehicles: Category M: Vehicles that are primarily used to carry passengers and their luggage. Category N: Vehicles that are primarily used to carry goods. EAPCs are not motor vehicles and anyway, the prescribed motor tests are impossible to...

    We cannot test it in any other court. Between 9th May 2003 and 10th November 2003 a window had been provided for us to either propose altering this EU law, or to refuse to accept it at all. That was the final opportunity which we missed when parliament adopted it on the Monday morning of 10th...

    It cannot be tested in our courts because it is EU law which we accepted by legally binding treaty in 1972. Despite our nominally leaving the EU, we have retained the EU law via the Great Repeal Bill that Theresa May as PM put through parliament. That also confirms that the the EU court is...

    Pedelec Law - The Details

    Hi Baz, apologies for such a late reply but I've only just seen your post. The problem with riding with assistance above 15.5 mph (just below 25kph) is that the point at which such a vehicle becomes a motor vehicle is 25kph. So the relevant motor vehicle laws have to apply. I'm opposed to...

    In Britain back in the1970s it was the intention to have the stated limit of 200 watts and we even had a British Standard ruling as much, BS1727. But that was too low to be useful and in time that being recognised led to the British Standard being cancelled. We adopted the newer 2002 EU...

    I'd very long ago accepted that of course. I was arguing against Saneagle's insistence that dendrites as a cause are no better than theoretical. .
