    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    I had just googled it and this was the first result https://www.boilerguide.co.uk/compare/types/boiler-vs-heat-pump#:~:text=Most%20top%20gas%20boilers%20are,electricity%20the%20heat%20pump%20uses. My Mum and my sister both have heat pumps (installed in the last year) - both seem happy - can't...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    Is that true ? You get 3-4 times as much heat per kW from a heat pump compared with the most modern gas boilers. Gas power stations are 60 % efficient, so if the electricity is generated from gas , heat pumps are at least 2 times as efficient

    How to reduce crank turns for p.a.s

    Does the sensor have a little light on ? If you turn the display on , level 0, then turn the pedal (will need to lift back wheel up) does the light come on as each magnet passes the sensor

    Converting a little folder

    Simplest conversion ever. Swap the front wheel, fit the snap on PAS, connect up to the KT controller (also in battery bag). Seems very good, more powerful than I thought, less than 4 kg added including battery. Easy to pedal with no assist. Redid my little test circuit Unbelievably (and...

    Yes, that video is cropped so it looks a bit more hairy than it actually was - I did ring my bell, but we were doing 7 or 8 mph up a steep hill, whatever they did I wouldn't have crashed into them

    Pedelec Nirvana

    Definitely easier than these fit cyclists,.braving North York Moor hills Despite my goals gradually changing from max speed to trying to use minimise assist, there is no way I could do a 25.mile ride with 2000ft of ascent in the North York Moors with lots of 15% , 20% and 25% hills without...

    A couple of examples of not brilliant driving, useful just to have the camera running : won't report either of these (second one cut in to cyclist two ahead of me to avoid head on). Second one felt a lot worse but video seems opposite Can easily pick out numberplate Feel like as many...

    There’s merit in having small batteries. Don’t necessarily go large…

    Just converted a 12.5kg folding bike, 1.6kg front hub motor (akm-74sx) + KT controller &display+ 36v 10ah Woosh battery bag( 1.8kg) Just makes it light to lug around stash away & get out. I'm not so sure the extra weight of an electric bike (or bigger battery) makes that much difference...

    Yes, I do think parliament should represent the people. In one way it would be quite funny if Reform polls 15 % and gets no seats (my political views probably align quite closely with Mick Lynch ) but it's not democratic.

    Like most of Spain (From earlier link) "Spain contains within it more than 505,000 1km squares. But only 13% of them are lived in. This means that the “lived density” for Spain is in fact 737 people per km², rather than 93. So even though the settlement pattern appears sparse, people are...

    Surely the French could say the same ? Is it only countries bordering brutal regimes that should house asylum seekers ? That doesn't seem very fair.

    That link seems very different to how you were characterising it : "In June 2022, an ECHR judge used that power to temporarily stop the first Rwanda flight, until the migrants on board had had a chance to put their case to British judges. That delay in the flight allowed the migrants to take...
