Oh dear that's not encouraging :-( I was thinking of one of the motorbike-type dazzlers for unlit Chinese roads which Banggood seems to sell, thinking maybe I can bore some sense into dozy roadusers' brains with the sheer force of the light output :rolleyes:

When I read about this sort of thing it makes me think the only solution is to have very very bright lights on during the day, even if they do leave marks on the retinas of oncoming drivers.

No prob. When I wrote 'the required period', I meant the time for which goods must be reasonably durable, which is up to six years under the Sale of Goods Act 1979. The 'up to' bit basically means 'how long it ought to last given the cost and any other relevant factors'. The length of the...

I think it's more about the margins and marketing philosophy and overall confidence of the retailer, but if someone with actual knowledge of the bikes says it's about the bikes I defer to that. Always pay by credit card because your cc provider is jointly liable with the retailer for goods over...

I think it's using the power just to charge the battery, but (I'm going to go out on a limb here because I know nothing) in any case I gather it's the controller and/or motor which determine the power draw on a generator, rather than the generator actually pushing the electricity at the motor if...

I know it's a lot already but you can probably buy theft /damage only cover elsewhere to in effect 'top up' a third party only policy. (That said I haven't seen the small print of the theft /damage insurers on s pedelecs).

That's a criminal (and in civil law) assault on you and she because you and she were made to anticipate imminent physical harm. Possible attempted ABH on her. Check the side of car for dents - criminal damage, also civilly recoverable. I'd say a public order offence is definitely made out too...

If you bought it from a retailer, my first thought is get in touch with them, and ask kindly if they might have a spare (hoping they will ring the manufacturer and get one sent to you or similar)? Unless your bike is over six years old, there are potentially contractual issues here about the...

Sounds good. Going to struggle to keep their costs down enough to break into the market if manufacturing in Western Europe though.

Anybody got a view on how a conversion on one of these would work? https://www.batavus.nl/stadsfietsen/Old-Dutch.htm https://www.fietsenwinkel.nl/fietsen/-/stadsfietsen/?dir=asc&order=price Pedal-back drum brake only, single gear, weight all on the rear, 20kgs. Not really suited to hilly...

Then why do projections show an anticipated increase in ICE usage rather than decrease? You do realise that the sort of sunk costs of trillions and trillions of dollars in infrastructure supplying the requirements for ICEs, such as fuel, and upon which many key national economies are based, and...

V pleasant to look at, but doesn't get the licence plate of the car passing. That is one nice screen btw, makes the ordinary b&w LCDs others are using (including mine) look like something from the late 1980s!

Excellent :-) i'm waiting for a battery too, it'll be in time for the good weather.

Jeez. That would have infuriated me. Replacement batteries much cheaper now, lads in the yellow pages might do a quick weld for £20.

Woosh do a 10ah which looks like it might be the correct fit for a prorider

Yes that's fair enough, I worried about my point about 'driving at', although if one's driving on the wrong side of the road, it ought to be slower than normal in many instances (rather than faster) just so as to be able to come to a total halt before one hits an oncomer. Overtaking at speed is...

I suppose so, that's true - although my god the incompetence. Haha you mean in essence the problem arose because the driver didn't drive so as he could stop within the distance he could see to be clear, and furthermore gave no mind to what was in front of him. I know the stopping distance...

Eclipse will have an unopened return available in the next day or so in 13ah so if you drop them an email I don't see why they couldn't reserve it for you.

Ha - very good. However I think the legislation means a more than minimal, physically manifesting handicap, to one's capacity to use an ordinary bike, which in turn will be remedied through an electric bike. That's from what they call a 'purposive' reading of the provision.

I think many projects on Kickstarter have succeeded...in relieving sponsors of their money. Hooray!
