I don't see why we should tarnish all the food deliverers in the same brush. In Southend, they all congregate in Queens Road because Mc Donald's, chicken, burger and pizza places are located around the pedetrian part. Some of them use cars, some proper motorbikes, some legal ebikes, some push...

We have something like 2300 bike shops in the UK. Most ebikes are made by large businesses and sold by normal distribution like Halfords, all the retailers with shops in the streets are selling road legal ebikes. Virtually all ebikes with dinner plates motors that you see are kits sold on...

The Panorama program should have started with the fact that the vast majority of e-bikes are road legal.

this is interesting: bipolar design allows stacking 10 cells in one battery! QUOTE: STAFFORD, Texas, January 09, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Microvast Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MVST) ("Microvast" or the "Company"), a global leader in advanced battery technologies, today announced a significant...

there are other large news gathering organisations too. France has AFP, USA has AP. None is perfect but some are more trustworthy than others. You can always find fault with the BBC or any of the above but the difference is they are happy to be fact checked because they are treated as...

what are you saying about that charity? I can't see that money would influence the BBC's editorial.

the BBC is not owned by a billionaire like UK and US TV channels and newspapers.

yes. I am pretty sure it's no bother for him to give you advice.

I reckon the risk of fire for lithium ion ebike batteries is about 1 in 5,000 years. However, the damage of a fire may be several thousand times the cost of a battery, so it makes sense to eliminate that risk.

Don't you fancy lara croft types?

Theirs are even more safety conscious. If the system recognises symptoms of an impending fault, your battery won't start nor accept charging. I hope we'll get solid state batteries soon for ebikes. Solid state battery cells don't have electrolyte so do not burn.

Keep us posted what happens next. I do like women who are true to their principles.

you have not watched as much YT video about China as I do. 49% of car sales in China 2024 are still petrol and diesel and nobody got a bullet in their head for buying them. What is noticeable though is their cities getting cleaner and quieter. Each EV sale removes about 20-24 tonnes of CO2 from...

Wait for another year. Sales of EVs WILL beat those of legacy petrol and diesel in more and more countries as they have done in China last year. Do you know that shares of Stellantis have dropped from $28 to $12 in less than a year? VW and Toyota don't do much better. EVs will continue to be...

Mine have been potted for nearly 10 years. The cell packs are not repairable. You can replace fuses and connectors but that's about all you can do. I don't even replace the BMS. I know it's wasteful but the risk is real until batteries are made with fireproofing in place.

You would want to force them to have insurance. They will then be kept on the straight and narrow by the insurers.

Battery cells are already potted.

Musk reckons he makes a billion dollars a day, 100 million dollars an hour. Is his work worth that much?

I was annoyed by the program suggestion that illegal bikes can be bought on cycle to work scheme. It's not.

It's time that social media laws treat them like regular publishers. When they can be sued for content on their platform they'll pay attention to accuracies.
