I'm not making up my own rules, I'm stating the law that applies thoughout the EU and the UK. An EAPC is never an e-bike. It remains a bicycle in law. .

And we are never going to solve this problem. It used to be so simple long ago when there were just motorcycles, cars, vans and lorries. But then we got the autocycles which should have had the Moped name. Then the petrol add-on motors for bicycles which had no vehicle name but were classed...

Poor Ted, that will forever haunt him. Of course he was just assuming viewers knowledge of snooker, since the green was on its spot so easily identified. .

The BBC was not necessarily wrong. All electrically driven two wheelers that are not pedelecs are e-bikes (electric bikes, aka electric motorcycles, aka Mopeds). Our bureacracy free pedelecs, also known as EAPCs, are just bicycles in law and not in any way motor vehicles, so can never be...

No, it's just extra profits. Anti dumping tax will follow if they sell enough. BYD's big advantage is that they are primarily lithium battery manufacturers, for others as well. That includes Tesla's Shanghai production which was over half of all Tesla's made last year. .

Yes, I've also had good delivery experience with Evri, which weirdly is part of Hermes. But Evri also just throw the item onto the floor behind the front door of the hallways of our multi occupation buildings. Ok for me since I get the "just delivered" email, but for those who are out at the...

I'm not amazed, just depressed that this is more proof that our public prefer fictional over factual sources for their knowledge. .

But not with my hindsight, it was with my foresight as you may remember when I consistently argued against it and the rigid legal controls, arguing for the voluntary approach of Sweden. .

No. In South London, and the worst offending courier is Hermes. .

Here in the south east it's very different with all the main courier firms busy all the time, high population density of course. I think the main problem here is the sweat shop that the couriers operate, drivers expected to complete up to 140 deliveries in a day in some cases, so having little...

Once upon a time couriers delivered to our doors. Then Covid happened and our doorsteps became good enough. But it seems that was too much trouble so in blocks of flats they started to just throw packages onto hall floors just inside the ground floor porch doors. The latest now is throwing...

It will have kept them entertained while they checked! ;) .

Trump is America's Boris Johnson. Just look at how many times the British Public have fallen for Johnson's idiocy and consider they may well do so again. Then you'll understand why the Americans fall for Trump. It's because the majority of the public everywhere are remarkably stupid. .

I've moved this and my reply to the Charging Post in a new Any Subject thread: Link .

This thread starting post is my reply to the quoted off subject post in the Electric Bicycles forum. Please use either it, or this forum with a new thread, for any off electric bike subject you want to post about, placing it in this forum that was always intended for that purpose: I...

There isn't a problem any more with proprietary pedelecs, their battery problems disappeared nearly 15 years ago. Today's problems are with homebuilds and lashups causing fires. If these persist the only answer will be to enforce what should always have been happening anyway, testing and...

Quote: "Nissan plans to get a pilot production plant to start producing the first solid-state batteries by 2025, completing the beginning implementation engineering by 2026, and then finally, the vehicle implementation in 2028, according to a recent report in Autocar." .

Why do you waste so much time listening to these anti-ev twerps whe love the sound of their own voices so much that they repeat themselved endlessly. Why has he never spoken out about the number of London's diesel buses that have gone up in flames over many years, shown in the photos that I've...

If the original advertising you bought from implied that it was UK legal, the supplier could be liable to prosecution, necessitating the recall. If it had no mention of, or implication of legality, then its sale would not normally be illegal. I can only think that there was some implication of...
