True, but it costs hundreds to buy a battery which has a limited life. Anyway, the slight cost differential aside, the issue of putting innocent people at risk by riding something similar to what is being proposed remains.

You need something like the old Honda CUB 90. I’m sure there will be something more modern available and it will do all that you need, 30 mph plus, will have suitable brakes, correct tyres, proper lighting and also have the big plus of being legal to use on the road. If you went down this route...

I see that the sexual harassment contagion has claimed its first victim, Carl Sargeant. A man accused on Twitter, convicted on Facebook and sentenced to death on Mum’s Net. The really sad bit is that no one would tell him exactly what he was accused of doing.

I’m not convinced that the fact that the Conservatives lost their majority was down to Brexit. May is not a likeable personality, possesses an unattractive smugness, is stubborn, a poor listener, a bad communicator and has the appearance of something constructed from the sweepings up off an...

I’m not defending this latest scandal and I detest the principle of the wealthy and the most able to pay taxes shifting their tax burden onto those less able to pay. However, all of this has happen whilst being members of the EU and most of the Conservative party were against leaving. So how...

When cycling along level ground with no headwind at about 15 mph, it takes about 90 Watts of power to sustain that speed. Say for example that the motor is contributing 1/2 of the power, your legs will be contributing 45 Watts and the effort will feel light. Under the same conditions as above...

OK, I see that Rutland Cycling are now selling Kalkhoff bikes. They are close to me and are a big concern, so possibly the new UK agent. I didn’t know that. I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that bikes are a peculiar warranty case, in that the buyer’s warranty is with the retailer, not the...

50 Cycles is still a Kalkhoff agent isn’t it? The website still has that brand for sale. I don’t understand how they can claim the issue has nothing to do with them. I am assuming that they sold the original bike?

I’m astonished how long the Impulse motor situation has been ongoing. It must be damaging Kalkhoff’s reputation and the long term interests of the business. I know, we on Pedelecs, are very much a minority in terms of ebike users, so there must be many people buying Kalkhoffs in blissful...

This is the man who Tresemmé and her band of lickspittles prostitute themselves to. The only reason that other politicians complain and pretend to be morally outraged is because they want to get in on a bit of the tax action too, but can’t, and are jealous. Paradise Papers: Lord Ashcroft...

I think the word poor needs to be substituted with foolish. BrightHouse sell things that people don’t need to those who don’t have the money to pay for them. It still isn’t right that queenie is profiting from this sort of selling though.

The so called Paradise Papers seem to be dominating the news today. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, and just when they had found a new low, they manage to sink even further. I for one am getting increasingly cheesed off with being on the PAYE system. PAYE affords me absolutely no opportunity to...

Well JC would get my vote if he took on Tresemmé’s flange. A machine gunned horse in the entrance to a railway tunnel has been suggested by some learned commentators.

Now it is alleged that Damian Green has been w@nking and eating custard cream biscuits deep into the night in his Westminster office. There seems to be no end to these disturbing revelations with at least one new one surfacing with each day that passes. I believe that the time has now come for...

Very true. Our village church has dropped the term Christmas Fair in favour of Winter Fair. I noticed it a few days ago when I saw a board propped up outside the church gates. The same thing happens in towns and cities, we now have Winter Lights and Winter Light switch on ceremonies. It caused...

flecc alluded to this earlier in the thread. Dealing with BREXIT is difficult, whereas shouting, “he grabbed me tits back in 1986” is easy. Those without talent gravitate towards easy. That’s why they are all doing easy and not addressing BREXIT. I find it all quite amusing. It’s like dining...

I’ve just seen Harriet Harman’s picture on the front of a newspaper. She was looking very serious. What’s happening? Has Fallon smashed her back door in as well? The man Fallon is a machine.

No, but they could also quadruple their readership if the addressed the question regarding whether Michael Fallon did, or did not, have a little go on Andrea Leadsome’s chawongers.

My main concern over this man is the way that he has been appointed. There seems to be more than mere suspicion that he has assassinated Michael Fallon for his own personal advantage. His actions are not born out of any desire to right wrong doing or to secure recognition that Fallon has behaved...

Firstly, heat insulation. It helps to break the airflow convection across the cold glass, especially if the radiator is incorrectly positioned on the wall opposite the window. Secondly, security. Having curtains makes it less easy for a potential intruder to determine if there is anyone at...
