A warm welcome to the forum Scott. .

The e-bike law will not change, since unregistered and non type approved e-bikes are already illegal and have always been. The only problem is that the law is not being enforced. Current law for the use of such offending machines allows for fines, even imprisonment, plus confiscation of the...

Multiple reasons why I don't bother to look for an answer: The biases I've already mentioned. The exaggeration that Peter and I mention. Is the data truly solid and trustworthy? The uncalculated factors, for example the fact that the earth's crust in any area over time has a distance varying...

But still I have the same answer regardless of all these convolutions: No matter the argument, this planet is undeniably warming to a degree dangerous to us: The permafrost is melting fast. Sea ice on both poles is seasonally disappearing faster. Glaciers that have existed for thousands of...

You seem to be missing key points. Of course anywhere that is warming is warming faster than the rest of the world. That is simply because the rest of the world includes places that are not warming as much, or not at all. Add on of course the political objective of all those who believe the...

I can't agree. The scale of that huge North Sea surge was a very rare exception, like the '87 storm and much longer ago the Thames freezing over enough for ice fairs on its surface. With climate change such freak events can become more frequent but will still be far apart and isolated. The...

Untrue, you are often very rude. On the internet the unnecessary use of capital letters and unnecessarily enlarged or boldened text are regarded as shouting and rude behaviour. You frequently do all three, as above. .

You might as well argue why don't we get an October 1987 great storm felling millions of trees every year? These are exceptional events, what the Met Office like to call once in every 250 years. If they are correct East Anglia will get similarly flooded again in 2203. :( However there is...

But the point being that we didn't need to have all the land in the past, but with over 8 billions of us and growing, needing ever more of all the land's resources, we will no longer be able to cope with the growing losses to the sea and desertification. Ask Bangladesh, ask Somalia about this. .

Indeed there is, something between the grossly over-simplified Citroen Ami and the circa £30k MG. But it won't come from Tesla. They've made this sort of claim before. Like claiming the Model 3 would be as affordable as the Nissan Leaf when that cost well under £30k, but the cheapest Model 3...

Yes, using the term revolver loosely for any single handed firearm. Should have been pistol of course, but we in Britain are unfamiliar with such discussion since we don't roam around armed in the way many Americans do. .

Assuming it's the 26 volt one and you are in the UK: https://www.allbatteries.co.uk/electric-bike-battery-panasonic-type-445wh-26v-17-4ah-aml9121cc.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwkY2qBhBDEiwAoQXK5YJYcbk07WJZEVcC-Rip21w-ZIjcIOKqKf4V2cN1VAFZWMyo3f684xoC7wEQAvD_BwE .

Brexit is about politics and everything is political. :p .

The "tank like" appearance is difficult to avoid with a down tube internal battery and long acting suspension forks. Having the battery on the down tube upper surface partially socketed into it can lessen the effect a little if it's shorter than the down tube. But nobody has satisfactorily...

This part of their reply simply isn't good enough: "Hello there Thank you for contacting us. All our activities are online, the address on our website is the company registration address " Where can one return a bike to if received faulty or failing under warranty? There has to be a published...

I'm with Neale on racks needing to have a large range of utility uses, so I don't like the trend for attaching racks onto mudguards. Both the Giant Lafree and Ezee Quando I owned at one time had the identical very sensible rack. The best features were: So strong, it once even carried a big old...

And in addition to the above quoted, very far from honest when they claim this on their website: 3 years of innovation sets us apart. It’s why we’re the undisputed industry leader. Industry leader when none of us have heard of them before? I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole. .

No, their wording is irrelevant if they are claiming to cover third party risks for an EAPC. Third party insurance has a very definite legal meaning. I don't think the insurance companies are intentionally wording poorly in this instance. They are merely using simple wording for simple...

I don't need to look, in a dispute the court would soon clarify things for them. In respect of third party risks they are bound by what the law says is an EAPC. If a machine is a compliant EAPC, they are liable. In respect of other incidental risks they are only bound by any incidental risks...

If they say this, as you have said they do: "the electric motor should have a maximum power output of 250 watts or less " They are misleading, since the law says no such thing about EAPCs. Since they are the only legal electrically assisted pedal cycles on the road, that is all they can be...
