    What ebike would be the least effort to ride

    Woosh Rambletta may be worth a look. You'll need to pedal a bit to activate the throttle though.

    Russia will pay in oil and gas in due course.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am pretty sure that export from Russia will resume soon. What is less sure is the outcome of the war. Russia can demolish Ukrainian cities but someone has to pay for reconstruction. That someone is most likely Russia in the long term, not the West. The priority of the West is to supply its...

    too late for that now. The war does not go very well for Mr Putin. It's just a matter of time before the Ukrainians start pushing them back.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think the cards are in the air at the moment but Russia will be crippled with this war. At the end of the day, Russia is no match for the US and NATO. Putin has been foolish to send his troops too deep into Ukraine, the vast terrain now reduces their maneuverability. How can he re-supply them...

    Zelenskiy said yesterday on TV that the damage to Ukrainian properties and infrastructure would cost in excess of $400 billions and he would like Russia to pay for it. What do you think?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There was a video from one of the vendors, the guy drove his Nissan to the building site, plugged his jack hammer to his CHAdeMO and started digging. It was an easy sell. I expect the price will come down maybe toward £1,000-£1,500 with wider adoption of the CHAdeMO system by other car...

    it seems that the market for V2H systems is still in its infancy. Only recent Nissan e-cars can do V2H, other cars can only be charged, not discharged through their charging socket. Prices seem high for these units, a ChAdeMO V2H 7KW unit costs well over £3,000 for what is essentially an inverter.

    Lightweight rear hub kit

    Thank you for pointing that out. the 100mm is the diameter of the 85SX motor shell casing. the dropout is 135mm. The data table on the web page is confusing. I'll fix it tomorrow.

    has anyone made a feed-in kit to use the car's battery to power the house or sell spare capacity to the grid?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    agreed. interbank interest rate at 20%, official inflation 9.2% and next week, the stock market in Moscow may be suspended. You can't run a modern economy under those conditions. Apparently, the expeditionary army that Putin sent to Ukraine needs urgently more tyres for their trucks. The war is...

    I reckon the West can still indict Putin although I accept that the probability that he's dead is greater than that he would appear there.

    most of that money were deposited in western banks and cannot be used at the moment because of the sanctions placed on The Central Bank of Russia. Those funds are in effect impounded, except in China. Putin has plenty of missiles but the West has plenty of banking systems.

    they trade in Chinese RMB though. The FTSE reacted positively to the news. Still, I'd like to see Putin indicted in The Hague.

    I fear that Putin is in a corner, he's no way out other than up the stake. I kind of think about the book 'Empire of the Sun', a story about the Japanese attacks on Shanghai in 1937.

    with that number of troops? No, it can't be stopped unless Ukraine unconditionally surrenders. Putin made it clear enough. The West could not let Putin win so months of negotiation before the war started led to nowhere. I thought Putin would stop and negotiate after initial gain because the West...

    Putin insisted that the Ukrainian army must surrender. That's quite a difference. It seems to me that Putin wanted a war.
