    Lithium-ion blaze aboard ship - specialist crews en route

    I think the statistics are that an electric car is 50 times less likely to "burst into flames trapping the driver" than one with other types of fuel but do not let a good statistic get in the way of a good prejudice

    Stand-alone insurance for e-bikes

    I guess if you were threatened or knocked off and bike stolen technically it was still in your possession and control until forcibly removed If stolen by cutting bike lock again in your control but ombudsman would probably agree with you as otherwise there can be no valid claim ever if...

    Prostatectomy saddle

    You are so right. It is said more people die with prostate cancer than from it but in my case it had nearly spread to my bones which would have meant "Good night Vienna" or major chemotherapy all because I was not as assertive as I should have been. If spotted earlier it could merely been...

Bike is obviously heavier than standard but enables you to have greater choice of bike rather than restrict to hybrid. I have Gazelle grenoble but...
