    Volt range of e-bikes.

    Had a look at the range of Volt bikes and have to say they look pretty much on the cutting edge of technology as far as ebikes go. The Infinity seems to be equipped with the Steps crank drive, along with the Shimano Alfine 11 speed DI-2 internal hub with electronic gearing. Weighing in at 19kgs...

    Hi Ted, maybe you are aware of the Volt dealer over in Castlewellan? http://www.voltbikes.co.uk/castlewellan.php I see they do test rides. also the range includes that shimano steps motor that gets good reviews. Worth a try.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Can`t see why not, you`ve already given the Queen the warmest of welcomes, you could have your own regional assembly, same as Stormont, Wales , Scotland, elect MP`s for Westminster with a lot more clout than in the Dail. Remember we already get a nice Block Grant which no doubt would be spread...

    You`re not wrong there Dan, and unfortunately your own local beaches featured prominently in that https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/may/10/disappeared-ira-troubles-northern-ireland What KTM is alluding to is correct, the `border` or lack of will now become a smugglers paradise. I can...

    Police say electric bikes illegal in Northern Ireland

    https://www.change.org/p/police-service-of-northern-ireland-don-t-prosecute-anyone-for-riding-an-electric-bike This petition seems to have been started by Green Party leader Stephen Agnew. Wouldn`t do any harm to sign it. Every little helps!

    Yes, Nolan tried that with no success either, see his Twitter page. Wouldn`t advise anyone to try and register, better to wait it out. Danger there is if the powers that be see a rush to register and the resulting new income from it then it could become just another cash generator for the Gov.

    Not a bad day for getting out there. :)

    Ted, not sure if you drive or not, but notwithstanding the present impasse i`ve thrown the ebike on the back of the car and headed for one of the nearest forest parks, in fact i`ve found them more enjoyable than our local roads, quiet and peaceful. I`ve no intention of sitting around waiting on...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    For what it`s worth Dan most of the farming community in N.I. voted Remain. I know, i live in the middle of them. Why? They were told the economy would crash, banking system would fail, sterling would become worthless, the sky would fall in, etc,etc...... we were all lied to. The farmers were...

    *rubs hands in anticipation* told you this was a runner Dan, i know of a superb location, in fact you may know of it yourself, it`s a long hayshed, it is split near the bottom end with a 6" gap running all the way through the walls and roof. As i was, erm, attending to my Renault at the time i...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes indeed! I foresee a very lucrative `business opportunity` opening up for myself and Danidl for cross-border trade on the horizon. It used to be sugar, butter, tea, bacon in olden times but yes we could diversify into ebikes ok :)

    Don`t know whether Nolan is a help or a hindrance. He should have been onto politicians both locally and those at Westminster plus contact some rep. from the NI. Office, asking how this could have happened, who was responsible and when are they going to sort this mess out. Also who was...

    Thank-you for that Steb, i just corrected a couple of typos... For what it's worth, intelligence in the west is measured with something called a WAIS(wechsler adult intelligence scale), it has ten subtlest measuring performance and verbal iq. Most involve problem solving(other than those that...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Ah ha, thank-you, a little bit of back-tracking there, so the guide lines apply to BOTH sets of voters not just those who voted to Leave as you originally indicated. Good, thats cleared that one up then.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    All very well, but how are you, or me for that fact, to know 99% of those voting Leave aren`t highly intelligent individuals and 1% are as you put it `below average intelligence`? But you claim 50% are `below average intelligence`. How do you know?? Doesn`t it strike you as a tad condescending...

    Ted, that part you quoted there was exactly word for word what i got back from him yesterday lol! Unfortunately i don`t think its a big enough issue to hold the government to ransom over, but i`m sure he will do his best!
