No mention of any punishment or even whether Monsterbikes were punished in any way. Only a mention of successful prosecution, which could mean many things. It isn't illegal to sell such a machine, they'd had to have said or implied that they were suitable for road use to get prosecuted and...

Agreed, no problem on the supply, but I don't know if the Ukrainians have any Exocet launch capability. Looks like they may be ready with enough of their own anti-ship missiles though. We know they've used one already: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neptune_(cruise_missile) .

True, but it was a sitting duck in dock. The USI reported that Russia has developed a new breed of small platform cruise missile launching ships and that a number of them have been added to the already impressive missile capabilities of the large Southern fleet. Those multiple small moving...

In my experience people who contract terminal cancer of any kind sometimes react in any of these ways due to the frustration of being able to doing anything about their situation. Very dodgy I'd say, this is the second wave of stories about Putin and cancer. I think wishful thinking is...

As of today, Scotrail is now nationalised, back in public ownership after Dutch company Abelio had it's contract ended three years early. This follows Northern Rail being nationalised by Grant Shapps and confirmation that Eastern Rail will continue to be run by the government, who are also...

Well that's your MBE scuppered ! Though I suspect that, like me, you'd refuse any such "honour". .

See just above. .

Even to reopen any closed coal power stations take many months for their furnaces to have their firebricking removed to be rebuilt and fired to be ready for use. We could pause the current coal closure plans of the remaining four coal burning locations. One is due to shut down in September...

Maybe sabotage by the Russian branch of Extinction Rebellion, just heard they are targetting several oil depots here too. ;) .

Agreed that the mid motor is probably implicated here. I used the Acera rear mechanism on my two e-bikes for many years without any problems at all, but both had hub motors. I like the Acera, its very large idlers make it more efficient:

The Queen at her age won't be interested. Given that Charles wil be taking over from her and his environmental attitudes, I doubt he'd be interested. Especially with his dislike of modernity and preference for the traditional, I can just imagine his look of disapproval of the appearance of...

This being the internet, it's not just an EU or UK site so we have members around the world and a separate forum to cater for that, so we couldn't have that banner in the site home page: Speed Pedelecs General Discussion Discussions concerning speed pedelecs, motor propulsion beyond 15mph or...

None of them can work reliably with tubed tyres. The problem is that when a puncture occurs and pressure is lost, the tyre can move around the rim, but of course the tube cannot due to the valve anchoring it. So as that happen the seal being made by the slime is torn apart. In the trade and...

That is the built in problem I've highlighted, that recommendation. Russia in the present example as a permanent member of the security council will veto any such recommendation for its expulsion, also any attempt to remove that right of veto, and no doubt China would also veto them. Having...

China was added to the initial five later, but that is irrelevant to the important point I was making, that a select band of powerful members having a veto on action renders the organisation impotent, just when it is needed the most. There should be no right of veto for any country. .

I fully agree that the use of military force should be completely outlawed, and not only that for territorial gain you mention, since Russia and the USA both use force as political policy enforcement. But sadly that is the theory and impossible for the following reasons: 1) The USA has set...

It is to me, I'm 86 ! .

These are kits that can be bought online. Petrol engines for bicycles were very popular in the early 1950s, at one point there were over a million on the road in Britain. Between 25cc and 50 cc, some were in the back wheel, others above front or rear wheel driving the tyre tread by a...
