There's no safe way with knowledgable police officers, it all depends on how harsh the penalties are there. France has now gone very tough indeed on illegal pedelecs, earning a fine of up to a staggering €30,000 with a prison sentence also possible and a loss of driving licence for a while...

Don't take any notice of that Google article, it completely misunderstands the situation, which I've explained before. The low rate of production of e-cars with a huge surge in demand a year or so again sent prices surging to ridiculous levels for low mileage s/hand e-cars. For example my 4...

There may not be one, this isn't unusual with e-bikes. However Dallingridge is a brand name created by MSF Enterprises, AKA E-bikes Direct, an internet selling company. You can ring their sales department to see what they have, if anything, to go with your bike model. This link gives you...

It will be the same intended new world order that President Xi Jinping of China spoke of at length in his major address to the The National People's Congress. That's why they are partners now. .

Strange how with all the brains at Porsche and in Germany generally, they dont think things through. This car is very expensive and the synthetic fuel will also be. In addition the fuel won't be as widely available as petrol, which will still be on sale for all the existing cars until 2060 at...

Very nice too, practical and sensible. .

Unless your bike is from many decades ago it will probably have a front mudguard that is far too short, like this one: Sixty and more years ago they were far more sensible and often with mudflaps too, like the one below: so they really did protect the BB area of the bike. I'd suggest you...

He is not changing three regulators, he is changing the three Hall sensors in the motor. As you've been told, the 5 volt regulator is in the controller, NOT in the motor. However you may have blown the Hall sensors if you've directly put the battery 42 volts through them, but that is unlikely. .

Usual OPEC move, never miss an opportunity to worsen a shortage to raise prices. .

Tread patterns are often self cleaning, their V shape structures ejecting dirt and water if rotating in the correct direction. If the wrong way round thay can accumulate dirt and water instead, reducing the grip and therefore the safety. Not a big deal with bicycles on the road, but as Tesco...

There'll be no negatives. Government policies in Europe and Britain are all about encouraging personal mobility instead of car driving. Even to the extent of daft meaures like e-scooters for use on roads which they know full well will be sold and used illegally. Even to the extent of...

Congratulations Danidl, delighted to learn you've joined the e-car ranks. I'm sure you'll love driving it, and even the bits when it's driving itself. .

No it's not an April fools joke: Russia has automatically taken on the rotating job of being head of the UN Security Council, a function to ensure world peace. President Vladimir Putin says he will be speaking about a new world order as part of the job. That's if he can stop himself giggling...

A similar situation to that reported with lithium battery fires in e-cars, almost entirely confined to just Tesla models and small in number. Yet every year thousands of IC engined cars, vans, buses, and trucks go up in flames and are totally destroyed, yet often not reported at all. Just...

Just a thought, the Trek's front mudguard is uselessly short, the motor will get sprayed with road muck and rain. The Precede's one is better but the Specialised one by far the most sensible for keeping the BB area clean. However, Soundwave says the Brose motor is vulnerable to rain, so maybe...

Their official name was Public Information Films, and they were cut as part of one of the government economies at the end of 2011 when the Central Office of Information (COI) shut up shop. Another of George Osborne's austerity measures during the Cameron government. All such films are produced...

As I posted, not net zero from transport but by offset from other actions, like carbon capture and storage. E-cars will need a bit less of that than ICE cars over time. Net zero will only succeed if we succeed in the capture and storage of carbon. If that fails, net zero fails and a new...

Not to trickle charge, the charge should terminate when the battery is full. However if left switched on it can restart as part of the cell balancing by the battery's own management system (BMS). Hence that stricture to leave it on for a long time occasionally to get the longest life from it...

These symptoms probably mean it's still not dried right out as AGS says, they can be very difficult to get completely dry once these problems start. .

Too gloomy! Average daily mileage across the UK car fleet is half that, 7300 a year, 20 miles a day. Which in turn means most charging done at home overnight, just like now with 85% done that way for existing BEVs. So in turn mostly with green energy as the BEV fleet and green energy...
