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

    This German borough councillor posts commentaries in english. Seems reasonable and quotes credible sources. Not being UK, IR, SC or NI, maybe more impartial? :rolleyes:

    Another mid drive

    Shimano Di2 Synchronised appears to offer semi auto?. Anyone used it? I would prefer a wheel with battery, motor, gears and brake, with a controller. But how much & how heavy, eh? :cool:

    Another mid drive

    Probably a light feed, but possibly a rider sensor when weight or capacitance of a rider present. Infrared could be fooled by heat of sun? Doesn't look like a dropper post. Or a secret kill switch on a prototype! Shrug :cool:
