    Help! Help buying first ebike

    I guess you are a higher rate taxpayer. you get your tax saving with every C2W scheme. With a £1500 C2W hub bike, you'd pay about £650-£750. Even if you add £150 extra charge, it's still well below your £1500 budget.

    Help! Help buying first ebike

    The Cube Touring Hybrid Pro 625 2024 is a sensible choice but at £2699 it is rather pricey in the context of cycle to work. You still pay for it, albeit at C2W rate and you still have to maintain it. For cycle to work, you can't really beat a hub bike. There is little or no maintenance with hub...

    36V Bosch tool battery for e-bike use

    I can see a place for tool batteries in a very lightweight specialist kit but not for a factory assembled e-bike. The weight saving is tiny compared to the overall weight of an equivalent bike with a more suitable bag or in-frame battery, the drop in safety and yield for the battery and is...

    Battery prices are coming down, -30% this year. LFP will come down to 95 dollars a kwh before the end of the year.

    Still, Trump is a calamity for Americans and western Europe. He is currently ranked the worst president ever of the USA. I would also add murdoch and fox news to the list of calamities. BTW, do you follow the story of maga republicans investigation of the bidens and alexander Smirnov?

    The situation could have been different if the Dems didn't lose control of the house.

    I'd say Russia is losing the economic war since Putin takes over. You probably have seen Jon Stewart satirical sketch of Carson at a Russian supermarket. As flecc said, Russia has huge natural reserves. Their people shouldn't live in poverty.

    Mike Johnson, leader of the house. He is fearful of losing his job so he went to see Trump who wants Putin's help. Trump told Rep representatives not to pass any law so Biden's administration is paralysed, regardless of America's interests. I can post YT videos of Biden's and Nikki Haley's...

    Folding ebikes

    if you carry the two bikes on a rack, Thule have some very clever racks. Some will lower the loading platform to inches from the ground, making loading a breeze. There is also a motorised version that does all the lifting for you.

    I think that Putin 's time is limited. He wouldn't have had the need of getting rid of Navalny otherwise. Sooner or later, change will come to Russia. There will be someone new in Russia that will see that negotiations are better than conscription. Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine don't have...

    The Russian side is helped by maga republicans stopping US military aids. Ukrainians did far better earlier on. If Biden is reelected, Putin will be forced to negotiate.

    They are much braver than the Russians in view of the time they are fighting with far less ammunition.

    you wouldn't burn plastic to heat in winter or to provide hot water, so why burning diesel?

    that's what I am unhappy about. Extracting natural gas is OK but coal and other hydrocarbons come with a huge amount of embedded poisonous stuff.

    Besides the fact that Ukraine is the second biggest and best part of the old USSR, I am pretty sure I have read something that Putin said about Ukraine that Ukraine is Russian, or part of.
