I was discussing this with someone at a funeral a few weeks ago. Funeral wakes are strange affairs, they pull friends, relatives and acquaintances together all under one roof, usually for the first time in many years, and they turn out to be a very light hearted, jovial and pleasant experience...

Please spare us the sanctimony. I know that it is currently very fashionable to be offended and to blubber on behalf of a complete stranger, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with making jokes about a tragic incident. I don't think that anyone on the forum needs to be reminded that the...

Well that's the Tonaro drive eliminated from the, thrashing, whining and wearing out problem. I think I'm correct in saying that my 16000 mile 5 1/2 year old Panasonic is OK. I wonder where James has gone to? He was quite active in this thread until I asked him a few questions. He seems to have...

cwah, you could claim that you are insane. I would believe you.

I'm still concerned about which crank drives are affected by the internal mechanism, thrashing and wearing out, phenomenon. I asked a few questions about this earlier in the thread James, would you answer them please and put my mind at rest? In case you missed my post, here it is again...

Exactly which crank drive systems are wearing out with all of their bits whining and thrashing around? Have any Panasonic, Bosch or Impulse drive owners noticed this? I haven't noticed it on my Panasonic drive. How widespread is this problem? Are the manufacturers aware and are they doing...

All that we can do now is hope for the best. That its flown through a time portal and is just about to crash into the celebrity dressing room at the BBC during June 1975.

Stuart Hall took an unhealthy interest in me shortly before being jailed and the ghost of Jimmy Saville visits me in my sleep every night. Does this make me the youngest member?

This has turned out to be a non-starting idea. The shipping costs are prohibitively high and they won't ship by surface. Battery + shipping + tax leaves the total cost within £80 of some of the German dealers. For me it would make no sense to buy an unknown product at this price. I have a...

But you can't carry a passenger on the scooter, it isn't built to do so and it would be illegal too. If you actually did succeed in modifying the scooter and you did manage to carry a passenger, the sight would be so hideously hysterical that it would draw the attention of every copper in...

Walking?

I have been exchanging email messages with Alan Yang at Fine Dragon Technologies. They will sell these 17.5 Ah batteries for approx £108 each. However, the shipping cost is killing the deal at the moment (£90). I think this is something to do with the battery setting the plane on fire as it...

But riding an ugly bike makes the rider appear more handsome by comparison, and I need all the help that I can get.

This one is easy to solve. Why don't you first of all buy an inexpensive Ebike. Then remove the battery and give it to a friend together with instruction to put it in a place that you will never find. Hey presto, an inexpensive ebike with a hidden battery.

Do you get a free Alsatian Sandwich or Spaniel Kebab with each bike purchased?

This follows on from El Campiero's Bosch battery find and Hugh's post in the same thread regarding Panasonic batteries. I thought that splitting off a Panasonic thread might be appropriate, especially as this battery was used on earlier machines which could now be 5 - 6 years old and the owners...

Good luck. If it works out, replacement Bosch batteries for $200 will make the system even more appealing.

FIRE!

But you are forgetting the cost of getting the Kalkhoff through some form of SVA test, insurance, registration costs, VEL (if there is a charge), a motorbike helmet and licensing. By the time you have added all that lot onto the cost of the bike, it brings it closer to the car running cost.

I don't like to admit it, but if I compare the Motorola (£99.99) against my iphone 5S (£549), the iphone doesn't look particularly good value for money. The Motorola screen is bigger and equal in clarity, but it's still a phone that will fit in your pocket, it has a quad core processor and is as...
