    Only the Light Bee, L1e model, on this link The rest are motorcycle class, not L1e-B mopeds. I agree with @Ghost1951 a light ic motorcycle or scooter style Moped makes far more sense in every way, though you are only qualified for the 50cc Moped at present. .

    It's not that no-one wants to get involved with providing insurance, the insurance companies would love extra business. It's just that there are no customers for it. Name me one 1000 watt L1e-A machine available to buy. There aren't any due to lack of any demand for them, due to too much...

    Afraid so. The trouble with that 1000 watt low powered moped class is that nobody finds it attractive enough with compulsory registration and driving licence etc. So everyone either sticks to legal or illegal pedelecs or gets licenced to a full 30mph moped. We really need the category AM...

    No problem if it was registered and insured, since there are various up to around 4kW e-mopeds that qualify for the P and AM categories. But if not registered and number plated you'd be riding an illegal moped. The 1000 watts isn't a problem, since the Q licence category L1e-A class allows up...

    Yes. If you have category P on your licence you can ride a 50cc moped at up to 30mph. (This is an early British category) If you just have category AM on your licence you can ride a 50cc moped or S-Class high speed pedelec at up to 28mph. (The is the EU 45 kph category) If you just...

    Missing the point yet again. It is precisely because climate change is starting to open the N/W passage that there is now a race to claim territorial rights. The USA is far behind Russia in Ice Breakers, hence the panic now to catch up. Remember Russia has already claimed possession of the...

    So according to The Des Moines Sunday Register and The Armidale Express, global warming doesn't exist? I think I'll file that evidence with the evidence for the existence of an almighty, all seeing, all knowing, merciful God. Anyway you are slipping with your attacks on e-cars, you completely...

    The only thing pants there is the person: Doesn't know how to switch off the sounds. Stupid enough to accidentally pay others charges. Half day looking for a charger when there are over 50,000 public chargers via the car's information screen! Dumbo. .

    Whether there is or not, that will inevitably be the outcome, as will be lower mileages yet. The politicians have already achieved the latter with i/c cars in Britain, almost halved from what they were over half a century ago and still going down year on year. .

    Indeed, in fact their energy meters are a con, indicating as much regen as use. But the public's state of knowledge means it's too valuable psychologically to lose the feature. They actually believe it's very worthwhile. .

    My Leaf does have a Neutral to allow some limited moving, for example on the car washes that transport a car through on a conveyor, but there's no full speed towing permitted. It's trickier to engineer out than might be thought, for example so many e-cars are four wheel drive with motor units...

    Here's some truths you and so many people seem unaware of. They don't need new batteries, the Nissan Leaf batteries are very long lasting, some now in their 14th year. All they need is the right buyer and there are plenty of those in Britain. People who drive locally and mostly dont have...

    This is actually because they mostly can't be towed due to the engaged transmission, nothing to do with the brakes, so they have to be lifted. .
