    Suggestion that delivery companies should check their riders bikes are legal !!!!!!

    The issue is caused by people who derestrict their bikes which voids the EN15194 conditions. Speed makes a huge difference in power requirement. You only need about 200W to maintain 15mph even when not pedalling or only ghost pedalling. So even if you have a 1000w bbshd fitted to your bike...

    World’s 280 million electric bikes and mopeds are cutting demand for oil far more than electric cars

    I reckon the reason we have been binging on public debts is because of the status of the Pound as reserve currency.

    3-D Printer

    Generative AI is pretty close to be adapted to generate 3D models from what the computer sees. I was watching a demo video about a month ago. A month is a long time in the world of AI.

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    I thought you may be interested. Their idea is simple enough and cheap to build if you have plenty of wind and plenty of land. You harvest from a much larger area than a typical vawt. Their blades are big and cheap. The construction may be rickety but the physics is not dodgy.

    The main thing is to stay informed. I can't wait for the time when people stop burning fossil fuel to generate electricity.

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    Airloom technologies claims that they can make electricity for 1.3 US cent per kwh from wind. Initial investment is about 250k USD for their kit. Do you believe that? Bill Gates apparently invested in it. It does sound plausible though.

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    EVs will account for less CO2 in its lifecycle because already half of our electricity is from renewables and more so in the future. I follow the progress of EV manufacturing from watching Australian Sam Evans' YT channel. They live in Thailand(?) and says that EVs sell very well in South East...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    EVs are displacing ice cars. The force behind this is low price evs are easier to make than comparative ice cars. Also, whenever technology to use your electric car to store cheap power for your house is available, they will become even more compelling.

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    The young don't see owning a car is necessary. My children laugh at me everytime I suggested they need a car for their kids. They just walk, cycle, take the bus or underground or train or rent a car when necessary. We need a car because of arthritis.

    How about trouble free, time saving, compliance, product insurance, neatness? Buying from China when it's for prototyping makes sense but for less than £50 worth of saving?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    They are already a laughing stock. The fact is Sunak could not find anyone better than Cameron out of the current 350 tory MPs says it all. Cameron is intelligent but appears insincere and usually makes the wrong choices.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Marr tried to get Dorries to name drop. She was doing the rounds to sell her book 'The Plot'. Marr wasn't very successful so all in all, it was a waste of time.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I watched a YT video of Andrew Marr interviewing Nadine Dorries on LBC yesterday. It seems that Dom Cummings is still very active and his group will choose who governs the UK. Personally, I think it's a mistake to bring Cameron back.
