    I've given up looking at the prices :-/ They seem to be still going strong though, regardless.

    Well in the summer, fingers crossed, we might need a cooling draught, when 'helping' the 250w motor uphill! :-) hehe I like the 'Glider' canopy, but yeah, misting, heat, sunburn (UV filter?). But better *if* 'bodywork' absorbed some impact, bouncing, sliding one out of the way, rather than...

    Another light quadricycle, or tricycle, single and double seaters are planned. Preorders in 6months time, on Indiegogo, so it says on mypodride .com.

    This is a proper tease, "we only make them for our own delivery service, not for sale", b2b. Then makes videos of versions carrying 2 on holiday or europallets! 8-)

    'whaTTfornow' new? Electric bike

    https://www.designboom.com/design/whattfornow-electric-bike-twin-transmission-torque-02-20-2021/ This could be more useful as a mid drive conversion kit, rather than a 'new' bike, or am I missing something? Mid motor powers a jumbo belt wheel, apparently mounting under the brake disc, big...

    I forgot about the DryCycle, legal eapc it says, even with 4 wheels (light quadricycle?). Shimano E8000, 1kWh battery plus 12v ancillary lithium for wash/wipe & heaters, alarm, etc. Interesting concept but *from* €14,999 & still can't carry a passenger! Eek :-0...

    'FriKar', from PodBike "pricing revealed in 12days, taking pre-orders". Mm, so not available (yt note suggests about €5,000). Will have a wiper, but Bubble top will mist/fog up, and pilot will cook on the sun, needs ventilation :-0 Pedals belt drive a generator, not direct to wheels, and no...

    These are classed as three wheel scooters in some jurisdictions, haha, if only. Zoom, zoom, tuk, tuk! 8-)

    Priceless, so simple for small businesses to sort out. Good old BREXIT!

    Yeah, I like the sound of 'Woosh.ie', and 'Wisper.ie'. They work well phonetically (is that a word?). The temporary 'Free' trade (laugh) may be extended to April for 27 to ratify in 27 languages at EU parliament, according to RTE. ""The European Parliament needs more time, the Council [of the...

    Also if it's going by plane, they need to know the weight of the cargo, not so much for boats? Are some things charged duty by weight, like tobacco, etc?

    Problem growing for Ireland too, sounds worrying, gov training and assistance available, but.. Stena meanwhile, have moved a new, chinese built, ferry onto the IR-FR route. The largest freight ship to dock in Rosslare (insert 'tight fit' joke here ;-))...

    Priceless, so simple for small businesses to sort out. Good old BREXIT!

    In Ireland "Mr Martin (Teashop,FF) said Irish agencies were working “flat out” to ensure checks and controls were carried out as efficiently as possible, with over 1,500 additional staff working on customs. In response, Ms Murphy (independent) said the only reality people will face with Brexit...

    Appeal to trace man who outran police on electric scooter

    Well, the smallest cranks are 100mm kiddie cranks? So need a wheel like ETRTO 305mm plus, to pedal without heel/pedal strike on ground? Is there a motor that will allow a freewheeling crank thru the middle & cable not thru axle?
