    Yes - a relative died from Covid in November. Caught it in hospital when in for something else. Covid as underlying cause on the death certificate. I do take the point that most of us have got a degree of immunity (either from vaccines or infection) so only people > 75 or with a weakened...

    So surely they would want to use the latest version that gives protection against the latest variants that are circulating - is there something that makes you think it is any more than that ?

    All the 48v greenlance ones I have looked at are 30a max constant discharge which is enough for a standard bbs02 (25a)

    ONS changed the excess deaths method to take account of the ageing population, otherwise it would give misleading results. Neither the old ONS method nor the new ONS method give an answer to the question "What is the effect of the pandemic on excess deaths" . That question is answered by the...

    DFT consultation on increase of 250W limit to 500W

    That's interesting, I wasn't suggesting they would make any changes to the UK market bikes, they would be identical but rated and stamped 500w instead of 250w

    DFT consultation on increase of 250W limit to 500W

    I suspect consumers may want a 500w ebike in future so manufacturers and retailers will rebadge their 250w bikes for the UK market as 500w

    I only notice it when using high power or changing to my lowest gear. Ideally, the gear sensor would just reduce the output rather than cut the motor completely , I think that would lead to the smoothest gear changes

    It can , I sort of get round it by touching the brake enough to cut the motor, but not enough to actually engage the brake. I've seen mixed reports on the gear sensors, maybe I should try fitting one.

    I'd be interested in your impressions. It's hard to standardize the comparison, weight / fitness of cyclist, max power from controller, motor torque etc. My BBS02 (48v 25a) is very impressive up hills, the only downside is changing gears under high power. Given my hub bikes (48v 15a) and...

    DFT consultation on increase of 250W limit to 500W

    I'm still not getting this, can't the manufacturer of the scooter just get the manufacturer of the motor that they want to rate it 250w max continuous power and then put as much power as they need through the controller ?

    I'd be quite interested in the impressions of customers that try both crank and hub drive

    DFT consultation on increase of 250W limit to 500W

    Or different ratings stamps for UK and EU : if a particular motor model starts to heat up at 1000w, I think, under the regs, you could quite justifiably rate the max continuous motor power at 250w, 500w or 750w (250w would be quite conservative but I think you could justify it from an...

    DFT consultation on increase of 250W limit to 500W

    Won't most of the motors that are currently 250w rated also be able to be 500w rated ? People will want a 500w rated motor won't they ? Does Wisper use the akm128 ? Surely they would just need the manufacturer to rate it as 500w without changing anything on the bike (apart from the...

    Limiting assist to less than 15mph

    look at that video - start at 1 min 24sec - press + and - together to get into the settings, 1st parameter is units, tap power button, 2nd parameter is max speed assist edit - were you saying you've done that and there isn't a screen that shows LSPd on the display ? there is a settings menu...

    Oh no that's awful. I guess she probably already knows about it but there is https://www.gov.uk/vaccine-damage-payment (I have no idea what evidence you need to supply to support a claim) I think there has been >4000 Covid 19 vaccine claims

    I have read the vaccinations (& prior infection) had 2 mechanisms 1) Generating antibodies , which fought off infections and stopped you catching COVID and stopped spread. These antibodies lasted a few months . However as new covid variants emerged that were different to the ones the...
