Thanks, I misread the spec on the Powerhog. Corrected. .

Good price and free delivery, fully equipped to with mudguards, carrier and lights of sorts. .

It could go the other way. The government have already said their preferred speed limit for e-scooters is the Continental 20 kph (12.5 mph) one. Add in that our original EAPC law for pedelecs has a 12 mph limit and you can see a possibility. I dont think for one moment that will happen, 15...

Since the controller is already a 36 volt one, you wouldn't lose any power or speed. But as you say, it really isn't worth the cost and hassle of voltage conversion just to get some use of that 48 volt battery. Best sell it instead. .

It's worrying that for the second time e-bike have been paired with e-scooters for future legislative measures. Government sees them both as alternative mobility means, but seem ignorant of how very different the two are in every respect. .

It is a valid excuse for extending a person's behaviour beyond its normal limit. The limit of acceptability though is determined by current societal norms, regardless of any mitigating factors like drunkeness or drug abuse. .

Which would solve a whole raft of problems at a stroke, not least the ridiculous Northern Ireland situation. And that would finally seal Boris Johnson's fate as the ultimate demonstration of how poor his judgement and competence has always been. .

You need to tell us what sort of motor, wheel hub or crank and if the latter, exactly what make and model it is. With a hub motor just changing the voltage from 48 to 36 alone will lose you 25% of the speed, so your motor assist might only reach 12 mph. .

I think it simply reflects the NHS inadequacy I've suffered over the last 66 years of my life. I'm one person who could never clap for it. .

I still remember the account of a reviewer, I think from Velovision, having a solid tyre company representative fit a pair. Apparently the rep used the biggest screwdrivers he'd ever seen as tyre levers, worrying him whether the rims would survive the force used! .

Marathon Plus are quite harsh tyre anyway, due to the carcase and walls being stiffened by the additional thick liner, and the Tannus insert would have made that worse. So I'm not surprised you notice little or no difference. The reason for this odd feeling is that the tyre distortion...

You may remember long ago how I was completely missed from inclusion in the first Covid jab program and had to belately chase for it, ending up getting mine in a two decade younger group. And then how exactly the same happened for the second jab, getting mine at 14 weeks after the first, way...

If that is the case where you are, you have my sympathy. There was a time long ago when it was like that here, but not now. Verbal abuse is non existent, road space bullying very rare, cyclists and especially pedestrians are treated well, though the former rarely get 1.5 metre passes because...

Having the wheels supported both sides as the chassis on my trailer does solves that problem, since there is no trailer wide axle. The wheels are also quick release, a blessing when there's a puncture making a quick tube swap easy.

Encapsulating my criticisms. I hope it eventually happens, but the London cycling boom dates back over three decades with the same hopes and it still hasn't happened. .

You really are obsessed on this subject to a ridiculous degree and I suspect you are far too easily frightened when cycling, I retired almost 32 years ago and immediately intensified my cycling to up to 5000 miles a year to keep fit. I'd bought a new car since I'd been in company cars, but...

Indeed London has some different, but look at all the helmets, the drop handlebars, the lack of mudguards and chaincases, the leaning forward, the large numbers riding at 20 mph or more, the scarcity of step-throughs and even the brakes snatched on due to the speeds. That is not utility cycling...

No. Most countries have their minority of sport cyclists, but they are not at all like Britain with cycling. What is uniquely British is that virtually all our cycling is done in sporting fashion at higher speeds, even utility cycling like commuting. It's a legacy of our adult utility cycling...

Being around at the time, also a cyclist and in the trade, I know how true this is. Almost half the country cycled in the 1940s and '50s, virtually all males. It was all they could afford and public transport was very deficient following WW2 damage and lack of maintenance. Bicycles and and...

No it isn't more likely, and I notice you conveniently leave out Germany. Countries with large flat areas suffer fearsome unobstructed winds. The infamous ones on the polders of The Netherlands are probably why the Dutch, little over a quarter of our population, buy over six times as many...
