I strongly believe any impediment/disability/handicap with a physical origin or component would be included. Handicap seems to me slightly broader than disability in the sense that disability sometimes can carry with it legal connotations (although I might be wrong). Handicap sounds more like...

The Oxydrive 13ah kit would tick all those boxes except for the rear battery (it's a bottle type). Its motor is very powerful. If you would be prepared to make do with front wheel drive the Woosh BPM kit might suit, albeit bottle battery again. If you wanted to reduce prices right down, you...

So throttle only not allowed then? I think one solution could be to get some people representing the trade to ask for an audience with the relevant secretary of state, to explain that expansion of business will suffer from the legal uncertainty /this legal rule;and to request a change of...

What sort of wh/mile were you getting out of yours on a moderate ride? Just asking as curious about the whole hypermiling thing, i.e. which motors get a person the furthest, and how much further than others, all other things being equal.

Great photos. If there is a reason why like is not being compared with like there, it's that as with much of Britain, the Welsh road looks like there is a big incline compared with the Belgian flat- a big obstacle IMHO to greater bike takeup, the thought of which likely constrains policymaker...

That's right, from the radial point of the crank/bottom bracket

What's the frame size on the Dawes, please?

That's an interesting explanation. I think it sounds deranged of the people involved, that they'd think the road this space of universal serious competition whose rules one voluntarily accepts or violates by riding on it. OK so if I compare academe, people do feel competitive with one another...

Found a way to turn vast untapped quantities of public credulity into a source of clean and renewable energy

Fuel cell

Got an ebike to do 5wh per mile average with no pedal assistance

And your discussion of the legislation has been entirely accurate I think. However setting aside problems like a prosecutor having to reasonably think a claim above 50% likely to succeed (which is their threshold for taking a case forward), and their thinking it in the public interest to...

The problem with your point is sustaining a claim of illegality (such as would be a precursor to establishing that an illegal act caused a loss) in a field covered by the treaties. Under the ECA 1972 s 2(1), any UK law in conflict with EU law must be set aside by the courts and substituted with...

Good points, including about political embarrassment, but the source of it isn't limited to those facts - the police would have had top government lawyers advising that there was no chance of a successful holding that 250w was unlawful, because any such holding (as would only have been...

There is no risk of being charged, let alone prosecuted civilly or criminally - for riding a bike with a wattage between 200 and 250. If this is wrong and there is a risk, there is no risk of the prosecution succeeding. If this is wrong and there is a risk of it succeeding, you would enjoy a...

Asides design and so forth, another issue afaik is going to be waterproofing the stitches and seams - and stitching them. I think there are spray treatments you can use or similar, or particular stitching techniques or both. If you google 'sewing waterproof fabric' or 'waterproofing seams'...

It's really nicely made actually. Maybe if I have time to get my sewing machine out over the summer I can make a few bucks out of all of you suckers my fellow pedelecers ;-)

Could anybody recommend one of these please? Aren't they a danger in crosswinds? Or in causing onlookers to have accidents due to uncontrollable laughter? Seriously the thought of designing a rain device just for covering the battery appeals more - it could be a drawstring waterproof cover...

The Ebike regs upped to 250w in UK, 15.5mph, to harmonise with EU, the law comes into force on 6 April 2015, here it is: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2015/24/regulation/2/made Interesting definition of “maximum continuous rated power” at note 3 at the bottom. Can't quite get my head...
