Agreed, the national grid will need urgent attention, but I think it will get that. We've got so much wind generation at times now that we are actually earning from Europe on odd occasions. I'm sure that's why they intend the further big increase. I don't think SMRs will get a look-in, with...

Probably, though not all need any replacement. I'm guessing that some of the environmental laws would clash with their just announced, overriding intention to further greatly increase our wind turbine fleet. Gaps in the regulations can be very handy at times. .

Hopefully not, at least she has faced down the ERG. 600 EU laws removed is better than the 4000 they wanted. Especially since they are mostly environmental laws this government would ignore anyway, in customary fashion. We are going to see a lot more of these rows, as the underlying civil...

Trans Pennine Rail nationalised by end of month They now join Northern Rail (LNER) in being Tory government owned and run, plus Eastern Rail and Southern Rail both being run by the government. Scottish and Welsh Rail are also already in government hands. At this rate Labour's long held...

Even better was this offer in August 2017 as they were trying to clear stock: "Kudos Safari super deal, buy two bikes for £995.00 including delivery to UK mainland addresses." Stunning value for such extremely well equipped 36 volt pedelecs. I'm not sure they are still operating though...

No, that is just nominal. Many still use the old conventionof saying 24 volts, despite lithium ones being 26 volts now. .

Labelling is correct, your bike and battery are 26 volt, 7 x 3.7v cells in series giving 25.9 volts nominal. The mentions of 24 volt are just sticking to the old nominal voltage when we used NiMh batteries But do KT make any 24/26 volt controllers? Only 36 volt upwards as far as I know, so...

Despite the space at the rear looking ok, it does sometimes happen that the motor boss projection is slightly larger diameter than the freewheel inner so locks against the freewheel outer. If so, a shim that is less than the diameter of the freewheel outer will do the trick. I've had exactly...

That's almost certainly what you need. .

The Panasonic motored Agattu was first released here near the end of 2007, November I believe, with the ProConnect hard on its heels in 2008. I don't know when the S version was first released here but it was probably during 2009. .

I'm afraid so. £500 to £700 range is realistic for a good quality moderately priced conversion kit from a trustworthy supplier. .

Often not even then though. As Cyclebuddy says, the number of deliveries can far exceed these light vehicles. With a depot in this London Borough of Croydon, the DPD daily round on the two side by side Croydon estates where I live is served by a long wheelbase high roof van typically carrying...

Not the slightest sign in my very large London Borough of Croydon or in the adjacent North Surrey Borough of Tandridge that I've travelled through. Although nearly half the public when polled say they support our royalty, I think that is similar to the way they claim to be christian though they...

Good to hear from you again OG and particularly pleased to learn that your wife is in a care home, given how unavoidably stressful your life was previously. I hope you are keeping well. .

Dave Elderfield, MD of very successful motor sport company Rally Design, had a brave try when he set up pedelec company Kudos Cycles in the 2000s, equipping a selection of his pedelec range with LiFePO4 batteries, giving consumers the choice in affordable pedelecs. But the consumer market...

Yes, a quite new anti-monarchy group. Here's their website .

Then shouldn't they have changed their name to Cycleability Trust first, before sending that out? .

Yes, bike is unsuitable since it's used for so many vehicles, from pedal cycles to motorcycles. E-bike is unsuitable since it describes anything from a lightly assisted pedal cycle to a barely disguised high speed moped. With the exception of The Countryside Act 1968, UK law for completeness...

The operative word is "our". Not "their". .

Age and heart problems mean I am no longer cycling, not even assisted. But I still consider the first two series of Panasonic motor units to be the best mid units ever made after my years with the first (Giant Lafree) and North Downs rides with someone else on their second series bikes...
