    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There's another one that doesn't make sense to me either. It says 41,748 people died in England within 28 days of being tested positive, yet there are 51,844 with Covid as the cause on the death certificate. Logic would say that 10,000 (20% of all covid deaths) must have died after 28 days of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Can somebody explain this for me because I'm a bit miffed. I'm looking at two government graphs for covid deaths. One says deaths by date reported and the other one says deaths by date of death. Yesterday, 88 people died, but 397 deaths were reported. Does that mean that there are a lot of liars...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The pollsters are all paid partisans. Nearly all institutions are compromised now. Where do you think they get their funding from? This is what Trump and his backers are trying to sort out, but all these compromised institutions are working together against them, so their chance of success isn't...

    Building a bike for towing heavy loads

    You can't go by figures. If I wanted a bike for towing, I'd use a code 15 or higher (201 rpm) Bafang BPM motor. A 20 amp controller and 48v battery should give enough torque, or for ultimate reliability, a 12 FET controller set to 20 amps. For a donor bike, I'd be looking for one of those cheap...

    Any tips for buying on ebay?

    You just need to know what they look like. Use Google images. Impulse was Kalkhoff own brand derived from Daum. Impulse 1 was not too bad, though they'll be coming to the end of their lives now and there are no spares. Impulse 2 was terrible. Impulse 3/Evo was bad. Dates and serial numbers are...

    Carrera Crossfire Error 42 (motor)

    It seems that there is a common problem associated with the motor connector on the left chain-stay. First, you have to uncover it and check that all the pins are properly in the connector because people have found them backed out and other problems. Put it all back together and tie it with...

    Old Oxygen Emate Throttle

    The most likely causes I can think of is water in the throttle or one of the wires has been pulled to the extent that it shorts on an adjacent one. Either are easy to fix and prevent. If you disassemble the throttle, you'll see what the problem is. Dismantling a throttle like that is a bit...

    Any tips for buying on ebay?

    It was discontinued because of motor problems. Spares are difficult to get and you won't get much help from dealers. Exchange motors are available from Germany at around £500 to £600, but you have to take your old one out and install the new one yourself. They have a 12 months guarantee, soon...

    How to tell if it is the controller, battery or motor that gave up?

    As mentioned before, the battery can be eliminated as a cause by a simple observation. If the LCD switches off when the motor cuts, the fault is between the controller and the battery. If it stays on, the fault is between the controller and the motor. Electronics can't repair itself, so if it...

    E-bike accessories and clothing and running costs (extreme shopping frenzy)

    Thanks for the update. £3000 is still a very expensive air horn.

    Old Oxygen Emate Throttle

    You won't get one with that connector anywhere unkess SYEBC have any left over spare parts. Throttles are really simple. They have three wires and a hall sensor. There not much that can go wrongand they're easy to repair. Why do you need a new one? What's not working about it? Are all three...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    They've posted the National Guard in 16 states. Presumably, something is indicating a Trump win.

    Ideas please.

    On the crappy cadence systems you get full power as soon as you pedal, which is the limited experience of many commentators. Basically, as said above, it works like an on/off switch, and means that if you have such a speed control system, you don't have control of the power at low speed, but...

    Battery range

    It depends how hard you were pedalling. If air pedalling, 15 miles would be about right. With medium pedalling you should get around 30 miles. Lift each wheel off the ground and check that they spin freely in the forward direction.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I wasn't referring to anything specific. I was just saying that the truth is always the opposite of what you read in the Guardian.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I can't remember all the details other than it was the ones they showed in their big press conference/announcement thingamajig. One of the graphs had coloured bands over it showing how hospital beds were filling up, but it wasn't for all hospitals. When you you look at the same graph for all...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You raise some good questions. As a general rule, you can get the facts from the Guardian by reading it, then turning anything they say the opposite way round to get the truth. The people making the decisions may well be in possession of the facts, but they always have their own agenda. They...
