It's Britain only local law concession that so far only Wisper have taken advantage of: Getting legal permission to have a fully acting "Twist and Go" throttle on a pedelec: The Motorcycle Single Vehicle Approval test now includes a sub-category for "Twist and go" electric bikes, which require...

And that person's opinion is stretching the law beyond truth. Here's the true position: The law is that only a manufactured EAPCs can be type approved to have a throttle. That is because individual machines cannot, they can only have Single Vehicle Approval, so, being individual are not a...

The police and councils are not necessarily wrong. Although I and and the DfT have said you are correct, that is only according to common current practice. It's strictly speaking not true in either British or EU law. Technically only those kit created machines certified as EAPCs qualify, as...

Correct, but unfortunately many of the Deliveroo and other fast food deliverers go further with excess wattage rating motors and or higher assist speeds. Not a problem in my London area, they all seem to riding registered i.c. mopeds with L plates where necessary, with not a pedelec in sight. .

Rebuild the battery cells with a replacement BMS, for the new motor. .

I'm electricity only and despite my warning EDF back in 2016 that a smart meter could not work here due to there being no mobile signal, they installed one anyway, insisting they could get it working. A little over three months later they wrote to me apologising that they'd been unable to, so...

The position is far worse, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero are lying to hide the truth, in part by under reporting the total number of meters. Only 57.1% of the smart meters in this country are transmitting readings wirelessly. And it is going to get far worse. According to...

A warm welcome to the forum Ed, great to learn you are enjoying electric assist so much. May it continue for more decades yet. .

I think Oggie is going probably all the way back to Monty Python, "What have the Romans ever done for us?" .

Almost the whole world is addicted to debt, the first world's financial system cannot run without it setting currency relative values. .

He was convicted for that charge because he made no effort to stop or avoid the pedestrian, expecting her to get out of his way, which is unlawful. He faced no charge for having no front brake so could not be imprisoned for that. To argue that he was makes no sense, since firstly the law...

He was NOT sentenced for the lack of a front brake as you wrongly said, since he faced no charge whatsover for the bike's illegality, so could not be sentenced for that. His "whole manner of driving" caused the accident as you quoted the judge saying, and caused the subsequent sole charge, and...

Judge Wendy Joseph made it absolutely clear that Charlie Alliston was sentenced for his attitude and only shouting a warning to the woman: “You have throughout sought to put your blame on her,” the judge said. “Perhaps one of the most shocking things about this case is that you could not and...

bikeparts.co.uk say this about this hub gear with the Di2: Please order fitting kit, sprocket and shifter separately So it appears to have a gear shifter. .

I don't know, the OP's bike is a pedelec with a Bosch motor and belt drive Nexus hub gear, but that is all I've seen about it. Maybe the OP is pausing for the change as I would automatically do if I hadn't known of this new system, rather than continuing to pedal. .

I'm not familiar with it, but if the the OP's Nexus 5 is the current one, as seems likely for a 2023 model, it's apparently the opposite and very different from the original Inter 5. Needing pedalling for an easy change according to this: "Inter-5 Di2 specification internal gear hubs use pedal...

I used to do similar for many years with various advice posts I'd made earlier. But eventually pedelecs switched the Host company and a huge swathe of posts and photos were lost in the process, rendering bookmarks and links useless, losses I know you've suffered from too. .

It's pounds sterling. The three clues he left: This is pedelecs.co.uk He had a Powabyke, British brand only sold in Britain. He's now interested in a Wisper, another British brand. The odds on it being another currency are very slim. .

Good thing too, our underying trading figures have been steadily getting worse and are now way down on 2016's. France and Germany's well above ours. Yet we get idiots like Richard Drax saying "we are doing very well, thank you". He might be, but many millions would strongly disagree. .

No, I'm not out of date, you have your facts wrong, reporting on all registered plug in vehicles. This discussion is abut car parks and cars parked in them and the figures I gave were accurate as at 24 days ago. https://www.zap-map.com/ev-stats/ev-market. .
