Spelling BritAIn ComputErs There ought to be a way to post "anonymous" messages (that means 'without disclosing one's identity' NOT 'at some time in the future'). :D Anon

Noble prize for E-bikery No. It ain't misspelled. P

Battery Conservation This may seem to have little bearing on the subject, to begin with, but bear with me, it's a truism. You may recall the advice coming through the media about "What to eat", ""what not to eat": "What's good for you" (Benecol, Probiotic Yoghurts, Chocolate, Red Wine, etc...

First deep Discharge I am certain there were several postings after this one, including one of my own, but they seems to have vanished somewhere. However: My first deep discharge on my Torq with Li-ion battery carried me more than 30 miles before all three lights went out. I have never...

First deep Discharges Li-ion I ran my Torq for 30+ miles for the first deep (full) discharge. ALL the lights (Red, Yellow and Green) went out. It has never accomplished such a high mileage on one charge since. Now, after 16 months/700 miles I can get 'just about' 20 miles out of it on a...

Sticking in pins They (the employees) chose the w'ong target! P

Old persons? What's old Flecc? To the "Young at Heart" (if not of ear). Peter

Not a rare occurrence. Hello John: That's a pity that you had a disappointing start to your Agutta ownership. Left-hand pedal departure: it is a not uncommon occurrence with new cycles: usually because the "engineer" has attempted (and persevered) to fit the right hand pedal to the...

Testing - Results Data Sorry Flecc. I was not referring to A to B whose tests are comprehensive and I am agog to read theirs when it is published (If I can get past the front cover). I was hoping I was offering advice to the many Forum members who have promised to report their findings...

Torq LED's Sorry Coops. It did when I tried it (quite by accident) some time ago now. I can't repeat the test now. I was just amusing myself checking that the motor had not suffered by being ignored a lot during last winter. I turned on the battery, lifted the front wheel, twisted the...

LED codes on Torq This may sound like a leg-pull but it's a fact and may solve your problem if you have not found the answer already. If you have the cycle in Pedelec Mode and turn the throttle without applying motion to the pedals the LED will flash 4 or 5 times. Peter

Got room for another one on holiday? You are sooooooo lucky John: what fantastic timing. Can I come too? About the bike: I am determined to wait for the devilish detail from the Test. Let's hope that the profile of the tester and of the route will be posted with it and a 'scientific'...

The devil it does? Yes? No! The Devil is in the detail. P

Persona non Grata(s) - for sale or hire Of course you can Chris. Just mention to 50 Cycles that you noted a misrepresentation on the specification on their website. Wait for an answer that makes no concession to you. Persevere with your disappointment. Formalize a complaint. Make an...

Agutta weight So there are many AGUTTAS. Each one different (size and spec). They don't all have the same weight. One person's "Trivial Fault" is another's "anathema". One cannot TELL a person what is important to him/her. It is "a bit strong to accuse people of lying" - that may depend...

Apology And Recompense I think 50Cycles should take responsibility for what they post on their website - I've said so before. They should: 1. Write to every customer (by recorded delivery) who has ordered and/or been delivered an Agutta Pedelec apologising for THEIR error. 2. Offer to...

What Fun! I am rather enjoying this banter. P. Oh that's a shame - smilies are not available in an edit

Tax relief for the self employed Everyone in business has a "Place of Business" even though that may be his home. Where home is his business address then he is on business the moment he leaves it for a customer's address. It is the itinerant nature of a trade that is a major test as to...

Bikes could attract tax relief It is not that it's a bike that precludes one from claiming tax relief on the Capital Cost, it would be the fact that it is NOT USED IN THE BUSINESS. Pretending it is does not count. Remember, business does not start for the self-employed until they reach the...

........get even! Tell me where you live Branwen and I can avoid that locality. You should really have reported it to the Police: (Never, never ever confront the perpetrators. The Police may not be inclined to do anything: but as the 'Copper' remarked when I had an infinitesimal burglary...
