    ERider moped Help

    Depends which sort of their mopeds it is. If it's their bicycle class model 18 or model 21, they are 250 watt rated and normally use 48 volt circa 20 A/hr lithium batteries. They are on this web page: https://eriderbikes.com/electric-bikes/ If yours is different, email them on their...

    Help! Battery Conundrum

    Shutting down at full charge is rather like a premature overvoltage cut off. One bike I owned had a very tight overvoltage limit and could cut out in that way at the peak of charge and the controller refusing to operate on that battery. But would once the voltage dropped off slightly. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed, but nothing says that will necessarily stay the same. The increasing number vaccinated and a likely wider spread of vaccination could well mean improvement. That's my way, looking at and balancing both the negatives and the positives and always remembering what we've survived over the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But as a number of those it's claimed are catching Covid, the death percentage is extremely low. The other relevant factors are the age of the victims and their underlying conditions. When those are considered I'd bet there are many diseases with similar outcomes for the elderly and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You couldn't be more wrong if you tried: gradually increasing number of covid admissions nationally: Yes, very gradually, not the huge increases forecast by the experts, an opinion you shared. Taliban that brutally hijack a country while explicitly dismissing democracy or negotiation: They...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm not speaking of deaths, which are low anyway thanks in part to the vaccines, but of the claimed Covid infections, so many of which are symptomless or almost entirely so. As pandemics go this one is a rather poor performer, over 97% of us failing to contract it and the few who do mostly...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's a ridiculous proposition, the Borough of Croydon alone on holiday. Anyway this discrepancy has lasted several weeks, beyond any holiday periods and most holidays were banned for much of that time. There's a whole lot more to Covid than the simple, hence the experts so often getting it...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Nice try, but as I've pointed our before, our Covid deaths are very low too and lack of testing doesn't reduce deaths. If your supposition was right, we'd be suffering similar higher death rates as the worst hit areas in that respect. As I posted but you apparaently didn't read: "And to show...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not here they aren't, as I've observed in this post. Certainly nationwide 'flu seems to have been displaced by Covid last year and this, hence my saying Covid is 2021's 'flu. Read between the lines, is it really true that 'flu is now magically at zero cases nationally as claimed, or is much...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You seem to be getting mixed up with the war in Iraq and that in Afghanistan. Almost all the Afghan war was ground fighting against Taliban groups with locally directed aircraft attacks on pockets of the enemy. The only time B52s were deployed was initially 20 years ago against Al Qaeda holed...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Precisely why I posted with Covid continuing to puzzle, it is different and nothing to do with holidays. On the vaccination stats one would expect us to be in a worse position in Croydon, especially given our record of being the worst affected in the whole of the UK in the opening couple of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's an odd suspicion! Only the Croydon borough having holidays? Our national figures compare with yours, the fully vaccinated only 1% apart. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Covid continues to confuse: In round figures, nationally 90% have had their first vaccine and 77% their second. Here in Croydon those figures remain stubbornly lower at 67% and 55%, maintaining our large shortfall of vaccine takeup. One might expect us to be doing badly with such a shortfall...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    According to the Costs of War project at Brown University, as of April 2021, the war has killed 171,000 to 174,000 people in Afghanistan; 47,245 Afghan civilians, 66,000 to 69,000 Afghan military and police and at least 51,000 opposition fighters. Plus of course the NATO losses. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's irrelevant in the issue of western interference with other countries, and many view communism as a form of religion anyway. There was nothing wrong with the USA bombing and driving Al Qaeda out of Afghanistan. What was so wrong and unnecessary was to then embark on 20 years of a regime...
