Thanks Flecc. So, my understanding now is as follows:- It is not the motor, but the controller that determines the actual wattage. Obviously a very small motor, badly overpowered will catch fire, but there is a range of outputs at which a given motor can perform before it overheats. Is this...

Thanks Flecc. So when a certain manufacturer labels his 'off road' motor as 350 watt, he could just as well label it 250 watt?

Hoppy, You are not supposed to say the T word! My Enduro is still going fine.

I have never understood this. That a 250 watt motor can go over that limit. How and when does this happen?

I do a lot of sailing and bouyancy is essential. I am a good swimmer, even got a bronze medallion life saving award, but when you fall in, the water is cold and the hotter you are the greater the shock. Your muscles stiffen up within minutes and you find that you can hardly swim at all. A life...

It is perfectly legal in Wales to discriminate against non Welsh speakers. By the way, huge amounts of money are thrown at promoting and preserving the Welsh language. Guess who pays?

Exactly my feelings, and I am a Welsh speaker. The TV channel S4C regularly gets less than 1,000 viewers but millions are poured in each year to keep it going. The whole situation is scandalous, is outright discrimination against non-speakers and yet apparently is completely legal. In some...

Have to correct you on the employment issue Flecc. Huge complaints are growing in Wales where only 20% speak Welsh, that too many public sector jobs now specify fluency in Welsh as a must. Unfortunately, Wales is ruled by nationalists whatever party they belong to.

Back in 1967, we had all the same arguments when they introduced the breathalyser. I bet that sooner or later, speed limiters will be fitted and we will all have to get used to driving with their limitations.

One of the problems in rural Wales is the distances involved. 5 miles to get a loaf of bread, 15 miles to the pub and no public transport at all.

My PC got totally infected and it blocked access to anti virus sites. Had to send it away to be cleared, just got it back. Next time I will buy a Mac, had one before,far safer.

Meanwhile, my computer is very ill.

Sorry to keep banging on about the Tonaro but they are totally different to Panasonic and Bosch. There is no torque sensing at all, twist the throttle as far as you like and in comes the power without any artificial restriction. Add this the fact that you can change the gear of the motor and I...

I regularly climb a 1 in 9 on my Tonaro crank driver. Normally I climb in second gear with light pedalling. The speed is 5.8mph. As this is a busy, narrow main road, I ride on the very narrow footpath. I would not want to go faster because of hazards like overgrowing bushes etc. Possibly a...

I had a bad attack last night, everything seemed infected AVG appears to have removed them to the vault. Who is doing this, and why?

It seems to becoming more prevalent these days, but I have observed it in an old lady born in 1916. People seem to have been brought up never to accept responsibility. Things are never their fault and they will go to bizarre lengths to prove it so, attributing blame wherever they can. They seem...

Oystermouth Road in Swansea has a push button bike crossing.

One upmanship. Tell him that you cannot walk very well because of your war wounds.

Can you get his number off the film? He should be arrested.
