True, but the global warming threat for most is further away than their kids lives. Personally I take no notice of any climate or pollution change data. The evidence for me exists in the accelerating rate of species and population decline of small arthropods. It's existing at an ever more...

True they get limited or no help, but clearly they have the idea that a pedelecs/EAPC forum is where to come for it. And it's mainly the wrong use of that e-bike name for pedelecs that is to blame for that. We could achieve more if the authorities co-operate in the manner I've indicated by...

This one was delivered to me after travelling half way round the world in the loving care of DHL: As you see the case shattered by an impact. After I repaired it as below with silver duct tape, it worked perfectly for the rest of its life:

Not the manipulation you think from your very short time in here. In the earlier days when our lithium batteries really were at risk from the type of cells commonly used, we discussed this extensively in this, the only suitable forum, and the trade and industry did too. The whole matter was...

At their stage of life they don't care since it will never affect them personally. That's the reality in our world, the ruthless run the show while those who really care are sidelined into being their critics. .

Professor Zharkova claims 97% accuracy for the model which dovetails with previous mini ice ages, including the Maunder Minimum period from 1645 to 1715 when frost fairs were held on the frozen Thames. But she cautions that her mathematical research cannot be used as proof that there will be a...

But they already have a correct name in law David, they are still bicycles, albeit with some assistance for the pedalling. See the last seven paragraphs of my answer just above. .

I haven't done that. I'm challenging him setting up such a thread as a sticky when he doesn't even know the basics of the problem and that it doesn't apply to legal EAPCs. But when I try to educate, you aggressively reply by disagreeing with the facts. Nothing is being learnt by any of the...

I would never have bought a Range Rover at any time in its useless history. A Toyota Land Cruiser is a much better buy if one is into such monster wagons (I'm not). Even the Range Rover owners had a joke about themselves, told to me by an owner (Ralph, pronounced in the affected way as Rafe)...

Just after you posted and before I saw that, I added that OG was now in his 81st year if still alive. .

He actually posted 22 times about pedelecs in the Electric Bike general discussion forum, also owned a Brompton with a Sparticle kit and a moped and had previously owned another pedelec. But being politically far left, the political aspects of the Brexit discussions appealed. As for being...

I don't think there were many AI bots then, but certainly large numbers actually actively left then, their posts shown now as "NoLongerRegistered with a number" and "Account closed". There were actually two Brexit threads, both started by me. The first one was titled "Leaving the EU" and ran...

That's true, you alone left three times! ;) .

It's still young, just had its fourth MOT at six years so will almost certainly outlast me. It's battery still shows full capacity and the range little diminished and well in excess of my needs as I get older. And like almost all e-cars it is garage kept on private land where it's chargers...

In the interests of accuracy this reply is addressed to all in the forum, not just you. The OP has obviously assumed that we in the EAPC community are a part of the fires problem when we clearly are not. That is the inaccuracy I speak of that only adds to all the media hysteria, which is very...

In fact not a single member has experienced a battery fire in the whole 18 year life of this forum since it was established in October 2006. And some of us, including me, also drive electric cars too, our makes including Nissan, Renault, Tesla and Polestar, again without any fires of any fear...

That, although very true, is really not the problem though. It's a symptom. The problem is that in less than that 100 years, our 2 billions have quadrupled to over 8 billions. Somewhere far below a population of 2 billions, planet earth could self repair what we do. Even at the best...

Yes, because it will have expanded sufficiently to maintain contact over the whole inner tyre area. It's basically a balloon filling a space only slightly larger than itself. I've routinely used slightly smaller inner tubes in preference to ones slightly too large, without any problems. .

True indeed. Over regulation is what killed off the kit car market in the EU and damaged it here too. I'm not advocating similar for conversions, just warning what will happen if the present situation of very damaging and sometimes lethal fires continues. The authorities will be forced to...

True, diverting the cost of such referral to doctor's salaries, introduced by a Tory government to reduce NHS costs, knowing the doctors would hang onto the extra once in their hands. Here it is in action: 17 years ago I had a serious loss of blood pressure heart attack. I wasn't surprised...
