You are not alone in this thread for making things unnecessarily complicated. The only thing that matters to you as a user is the usage law for pedelecs and that is absolutely specific: The motor must have a manufacturer rating not exceeding 250 watts. The absolute maximum motor assisted...

It's a substitute for the user being tested and licenced and the bike being at least annually checked for roadworthiness once ageing, that's the simple answer. .

If there is an upsurge in infections from now on, it would be interesting to know the gender mix for a change to show who is to blame. I can already guess the answer. .

Or 400 upper and lower dentures worn, with a spare set in the pocket just in case. .

That wouldn't be a BAFTA, it would be a BAFFA, Black Award For Feck All. .

Agreed. It's in part why I've resolutely stayed single. I don't need any help to spend money since it's so easy to do. Still remember a young friend who was getting married and with his wife-to-be were accumulating things they'd need, supposedly buying carefully due to lack of money. She...

I forecast that the authorities would mess up the second jabs and they have. The total number of over 80s and essential workers is according to government 5.2 millions. The number of people who have had the second jab is now 7.4 million, 2.2 millions above that, yet around here those of us in...

And at 750 watts rating illegal on the roads here in the UK and EU. .

Yes, the low figures recently are especially encouraging given that temperatures in March and April so far have been below average. However the next crunch is so many shops opening tomorrow. They'll be hoping there will be large numbers of customers flocking back into them. Personally I've...

A crank motor at the front has always been a popular solution for powering a recumbent and I think it's the optimum for you once you've sorted a good position for a fixed battery. .

The BBC says a woman named Rachel Blackmore has won the Grand National this year. Makes a change I suppose, usually it's a horse that wins it. .

A bit surprised it didn't like the weight up front since Bacchetta's own electric version uses a Shimano Steps motor up front: LINK A wheel hub motor if fitted would be best in the rear wheel for traction on that recumbent. Ideally you'd need a motor that took a cassette rather than...

I just asked Auntie Google for a Vicar Amelia to fit your ameliorated, and she came up trumps with that. I didn't look into it as it seemed truly weird. .

Just get a tube of Germoline and get Vicar Amelia to bless it: Information Link .

Perhaps not so much stupidity as a calculated gamble? They know they've gone a year without catching it, despite their being no masks or even good advice in the earlier months while still mixing with others. They also know they've gone though at least two surges in the disease without catching...

Twice in that article the vaccines are described as "highly effective" by people who should know better. Highly effective vaccines eliminate or almost eliminate their target disease, something none of the present Covid vaccines are remotely able to do. And that is without considering any of...

I used Freeview Play to go back and watch something from Thursday I hadn't seen, then went on to play a TV program from my stock of recordings on a Humax Freeview recorder. .

I've only just noticed this response, it's not true. One can buy any motorcycle or car without registration from any dealer, there is no compulsion to register, tax or insure. Obviously it has to be carried away or used on trade plates. I still remember picking up a Landrover from the factory...

This one was Greek. .

The usual figure is the deaths within 28 day of a jab one, which is the lower one we usually hear. I think they are both exaggerations. .
