    Folding bike or full size

    If you can use one, a full size bicycle every time. In terms of stability, comfort, steering quality, safety, gearing, tyre choices and load carrying, there is no comparison. .

    New e bikes with small ah batteries

    The market is relatively settled now in this respect, compared to the extremes of the past. For example the Panasonic crank motored Giant Lafree sold well from 2001 to 2006 with a 24 volt 6.5 Ah battery, so only 156 Wh, but was so well managed by its software that most riders of very differing...

    That's very ill mannered of you posting this. You should have posted "He is Andrew Rosindell". .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Questionable perhaps? It was only a short while ago we were thinking of importing America's chlorine washed chicken to try to get a trade deal. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not so, wrong time sequence for reaping and sowing. also repeating the bias. It starts back in the 1990s with the USA in particular, backed by certain EU nations, rejecting Russia's repeated attempts to be a friend of the West, due to their fanatical and obsessive hatred of communism. Then...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's a very biased Western view. Try it this way: Whilst Russia might have had reasonable relations with Finland, they are acutely aware of how exposed they are if Finland becomes a NATO country. NATO countries population 946 millions, Russia's population 144 million. .

    Agreed on both, I've never understood why many believe calfs liver superior to lambs. For me it's lambs every time. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Braised liver is indeed awful, horrible texture. Kidneys I find ok in a good steak and kidney pie, but I've never found a good commercial one yet. A pie best cooked at home by those who know how. And I've enjoyed devilled kidneys when cooked at the table in a good hotel or restaurant. A very...

    High power illegal ebikes getting crushed in the West Midlands

    We have one in London, also with a very good reputation. But hardly something to boast about of course, given the size of London and the large scale of cycling in London. Not surprising though, since the second hand market here is mostly served by the resale of stolen bikes: The data paints...

    High power illegal ebikes getting crushed in the West Midlands

    I ask how? We are speaking of government here, national, local and police, all notoriously unable to do things in a businesslike manner. Just look at the inadequate shambles of recycling in this country, and that is with safe stuff. On safety grounds alone there is no way they will sell on...

    High power illegal ebikes getting crushed in the West Midlands

    I agree with everything you've said here. I only add that we need to stop pretending that we are a top table nation, spending on "luxury" armaments like £13 billion aircraft carriers, £100 million each F35s and assisting the USA in their wars. I'd also scrap the renewal of Trident missile...

    High power illegal ebikes getting crushed in the West Midlands

    The cost of the authorities setting up a facility to recover and sell parts would far exceed anything they could get back from selling them. I'm betting that even if they offered the function to the local bike trade with the bikes given to them free, no bike shop would take it on, too much...

    High power illegal ebikes getting crushed in the West Midlands

    They often don't and can't do these jobs though. With councils under constant cutbacks in funding from central government, it's the fringe jobs like parking control that suffer the cut backs to keep the essentials running. My own council, one of the largest in the country, is typical...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That could kill you anyway. The last person I knew who ate like that died on December 8th at 56 years old. I'm 30 years older than that and still good for more, but of course I've never eaten anything as disgusting as a pot noodle in my life. .

    Battery Power

    If that fuse is ok and your now unable to get any voltage, there's likely to be an open circuit somewhere. However the 38 volts you were measuring before when fully charged does indicate at least one cell failing anyway. .

    Battery Power

    Check the fuses, usually two of them. It will be the output fuse if it's blown, usually a circa 20 amp, either blade type like cars use or a tubular glass metal ended one. .
