Be careful when publishing Irish requirements here. In the UK a driving licence IS required for L1e-A: L1e-A Classification: L1e-A vehicles are type-approved low-powered mopeds, which are generally restricted to 1,000W and 25kph (15.5 mph). Licence Requirements: To legally ride an L1e-A...

There you go again, the grossest of exaggeration without any justification whatsoever. This was clearly aimed at me since I am the only one here commenting on this policy. But I have never at any time advocated such a thing, nor would I ever do so. Nor did government ever have needed to have...

They're talking rubbish: "The UK was also the largest EV market in Europe in 2024 and the third in the world with over 382,000 EVs sold – up a fifth on the previous year. There are now more than 75,000 public chargepoints in the UK – with one added every 29 minutes – ensuring that motorists are...

I've been saying this since before I bought mine 8 years ago, e-cars only make sense if bought for life, meaning at least the battery life relative to the intended mileage being over 10 years. They are not in any way universal I.C. car replacements. Its clear that widespread government...

All of the following features are illegal in Great Britain: Maximum assist speed 25 mph (40kph) Rated Power 800 watts e-Power only mode. Fully operational throttle So it's begging to be confiscated and crushed if used on the roads here, which would make its £649 expensive. .

Below is a link to page 7, Operational Instructions, of the Freego Regency Owners Manual. This refers to the throttle several times and confirms it had a twist throttle fitted as standard. Print that out as the proof you need. https://www.manuals.co.uk/freego/regency/manual?p=7 .

I can't see you've posted about it early enough, only posts from 2020 and 2021 referring to its 5 or 6 years age respectively. However, here are three links from 2011 to 2015 referring to the Freego Regency in the days long ago when it was a current model, so they should be proof enough of your...

Bloody EVs! ;) .

When I moved into a newly built flat just before Christmas 1967, I soon realised the architect had made several mistakes and poor decisions, so after living with it for two years I reconstructed a large part of the interior. That gained me a dining alcove, relieving pressure on the lounge...

Neat job Frank, this is often a good way to use hub motors. Saneagle in this forum created his own hub motored centre drive some years ago but I don't know if a link to that is still available. .

You surprise me, you must have been cocooned from the news. Others have answered, but a few years ago some makes and models gained notoriety for doing so too frequently, rather like certain cars were well known for the same. .

It could well increase sales of our cars as perceived values rise. Germany has overpriced their cars for many decades, most of all BMW who for images sake have their main showroom in expensive Park Lane, London. But far from hurting their sales, it increases their popularity. .

Does the app tell you when it's caught fire in the floor below as tumble dryers have been so apt to do many times? .

Sounds suspiciously like old news revived. Years ago the European Parliament tried to get the EU Commission to accept exactly this change but it was rejected. I can't see Great Britain accepting it in isolation since it could bring an abrupt end to the so-called permanence of what is actually...

Of course it doesn't convince me, or anyone else who knows the real problem. It's not the immigrants who are, in the first instance it's our dishonest governments who continue to pretend we are a first world affluent power by continuously borrowing us into uncontrollable debt. Remember, I said...

Everything you've posted on this subject is totally wrong. We wouldn't be here to discuss it if our ancestors hadn't exercised their natural right to exist anywhere on the planet they were born on by moving from Africa. We wouldn't be here to discuss it if our predecessors, the Neanderthals...

Very much so, I've been around since the mid 1930s when Hitler was well disposed to Britain, considering us a natural ally. Back then he enjoyed lots of support from the English establishment. .

Be careful if you are claiming pre-2016 rights for your EAPC. The rules for marking earlier bikes were different, todays rules on the plate will tend to indicate your EAPC is very recent: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2015/474/pdfs/uksi_20150474_en.pdf Clarification from the...
