I thought this might be of interest https://newatlas.com/bicycles/valeo-ebike-motor-automatic-gearbox/

Just my experiences I experimented over two years whilst travelling along 10 miles of single track country road. I just could not believe that oncoming motorists could not see me, as 90%+ just kept coming & forcing me to give way. I tried a single solid light, then flashing before settling on...

a circular thread!

Cheers I'll have a closer look at your pictures to see how the hinge works, as it needs to be stiff enough to withstand air pressure at cruising speed but release with finger pressure

is this not just another EU law to limit speed https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/news/motoring-news/mandatory-speed-limiters/

Cheers I did think about these, but whilst they would work for me on the main road with fast traffic overtaking me continuously within two miles I come to a village with multiple traffic lights, so I then undertake all of those vehicles that have just passed me, but on narrow urban streets, only...

I can see the idea behind this, but it will only work for ebikes & not cyclists who can easily exceed the electric assistance speed cut off. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/06/dutch-government-pilots-technology-to-cut-e-bike-road-deaths

After a close pass this morning I wondered if having a rear number plate would cause the idiot few drivers who like to overtake on the same side of the road to actually follow the highway code guidance for passing distance. The last time I rode a moped was in the 1970s & I think driving habits...

When its pouring I just use a large plastic bag, slit down one side, with some velcro straps to hold in place over the battery.

when I stopped working I lost my company car, so I had the option of getting a replacement car or some type of bike. With no income I chose an ebike to see if I could manage. 5 years later I sold it to upgrade. Since March 2018 I have covered 6800 miles, all as a utility vehicle (shopping etc)...

All of the above relate to bike maintenance, the e - part either works or not.

many thanks - I think I will stay with what I've got then!

Has anyone used a Half Twist Throttle? I am thinking about replacing my Thumb throttle to gain more space on my handlebars. What I would like to know is whether the control keypad will fit over it, as it does on my existing handlebar grips? Also is it more water resistant than the thumb throttle?

if you wear glasses I find that an attached mirror better than one fixed to the bike, as you can move your head to change the view...

You can buy them - orange arm with a reflector but I would find that dangerous when passing stationary queuing cars with minimal distance between the kerb & the cars. Although what any cyclist can do seems irrelevant...
