Does the charger light show it as charging and switch off afterwards? .

They are not meals, small snacks at best. A meal has at least one substantial course including a good range of essential nutrients. .

The Sunlova battery isn't 38 volts, it's actually a nominal 36 volt one, and like all lithium 36 volt batteries it should measure 41 volts fully charged. If that battery is only measuring 38 volts fully charged, that could be the problem, the voltage collapsing when you apply power and load...

I fully agree, but do take exception to Lee Anderson's exaggeration. As someone with a lifetime's cooking experience who successfully lived and even saved while on unemployment benefit for two years as an exercise to prove it could be done, I have considerable expertise in producing very cheap...

Why do we use sunglasses? . Fashion, to look cool. Do we actually need them? . No. Are they actually detrimental in the long term? . Yes, nature knows best. .

That must happen a lot of the time. I can move you to a road of your choice Neal, if you give the road name and first half of the post code or town name. .

I'm all for it with the following though: The Houses of Parliament (also grandiloquently titled the Palace of Westminster) contains 15,000 employees. That's a staggering 23 for every one of our 650 MPs. We could probably sack THREE quarters of them without noticing, making a start by shutting...

The Palace knows how unpopular Charles is, compared to the Queen. His accession has often been openly spoken of as potentially the end for UK Royalty. They are probably trying to phase him in for a while, in advance of the inevitable changover soon, so this motivated by survival more them...

They aren't just European, they are the same around much of the world: The whole of the EU, all the EEC countries, The UK, Turkey, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and even China has changed to them and is phasing them in. So they make sense to all of those countries and most of their cyclists...

No, it's Wisper. They are NOT being type approved as pedelecs. They are being type approved as class 250 LPM, the LPM standing for low powered mopeds, which is a motor vehicle class. In Britain only the DfT has said that as a concession they will allow them to be used like pedelecs without...

No, the leg islation isn't confusing to those who wish to stick to the law, which is very simple. i.e. no power above 15.5 mph, power only when pedalling, maximum power rating 250 watts. Nothing complicated about that. It's only complicated to those who are tryimg to find loopholes. If...

As PC2017 says, ask at your police station if the want to take action. In most instances they don't and have been widely criticised for that. I can understand it though, cases are more certain if brought with police officer's evidence. .

Definitely yes. Not ensuring there was adequate space to pass is Driving without Due Care and Attention, and your video is a clear cut case of that happening to you. It's pity the number plate is in a second video, since that weakens the identification evidence. .

Hi, welcome to the forum. You're in now, riding on Washington Street, Fairmont: Map Link .

All so true for me too in my younger years very long ago. You ask, "How did we survive?" The answer is that we often didn't. Back in those days many people died by 65 and often long before, never seeing any retirement. Reaching 80 was for a small minority. Now reaching well over 80 is...

It's no use trying to understand the law by looking at government guidance pages. That's because, like you, they are trying to simplify the law and it cannot be simplified. For example, you said the law should be assist limit of 15.5 mph + 10% tolerance, but that is wrong because you've...

It's a tolerance but there is no likelyhood about it. The DfT make the law and to account for inevitable errors in measurement they allow a 10% tolerance in all UK road speed limits which the police have to observe. And they do it in practice, no-one gets prosecuted for doing up to 77 mph on...

No problem Jason. I've entered you as jasono riding on The Green at Mountsorrel: Map Link Your old Loughborough entry is still in, would you like me to remove it? .

This is the anomaly that the pedelec law doesn't apply to kits. In law they don't exist since the technical standard EN15194 only refers to complete pedelecs. Universally we assume that if we comply to the law, the authorities will turn a blind eye to kit based conversions and that seems to...

That's correct, the DfT have confirmed that the 10% tolerance applies to all the legal speed limits. Other countries do similar. Pedelec makers set the limit according to the tyres they are fitting on any given model, but there is flexibility in what they do. For example, German brand...
