BJ wants to remove his mask, oh dear... Our current vaccines won't work on the new Lambda variant. “The Lambda originated from Peru, with the highest mortality rate in the world.” Some scientists are worried lambda may be “more infectious than Delta variant”.

the Watts are important but not that important in your case because all e-bikes, legal or not, can whisk a 13st rider up an 8% hill with ease. The main reason to buy a more performant bike is when you are overweight or when you live in a very hilly area like Penzance where you can find hills...

Mainly on weight and battery consumption. you should try one of the Bosch bikes to understand why so many pedelecers love their German bikes.

our government claims to follow the science but when the holiday season is here, it forgets prudence. It bets the farm on current low case fatality rate.

You are tall and slim and you want to keep your fitness. How steep is the 2 mile hill that you mentioned? We can help you calculate the power you need and how to get it on your budget.

same as with the Spanish flu, we have two serious variants a year. The one that appears in the summer will kill a lot more people in the following winter. The Spanish flu died out when its victims died too quickly to continue transmission. Covid does not kill enough to stop transmission. Let's...

BJ's approach to to accept that his government can't beat covid and the conservative rich supporters don't want the government to continue keeping their businesses shut. So he passes the buck to the individuals.

ask him which cells are inside his battery. Also, what guarantee he offers.

rightly so. BJ is obsessed with face masks. He'll be forced to do a u-turn soon enough, when the kids go back to schools.

you need to spend about £1000 to get the savings. Below £500, it's just not worth the hassle. Using the schemes' vouchers, the tax savings is about 32%-35% depending on the scheme. Check the list of retailers that give you all the benefits, they are usually the chain stores (Halfords, Evans)...

everyone can blame politicians, those who have power.

Correct your speed sensor first then deal with the PAS sensor next if it still malfunctions.

I expect the overall outcome will be for the better. More people want to work from home, less long distance commuting, less crowding on trains, better air quality etc. I wouldn't mind too much that air travels continue to be restricted to essential trips only. The area of concern is education.

might take us a generation to get the upper hand in this fight. Corona viruses are hard to beat because as a society, we eat a lot of chickens. Chickens are natural reservoir for corona viruses.

if you can open the motor's lid, remove 5 magnets leaving just one.

in practice, yes. the bike is sold not to you but to the company providing you with the voucher which you redeem for your bike. The sale contract is thus between two companies. The bike is then rented to you for free by the scheme provider. After a year, you can buy out the bike from the...

fitting a dongle is different. The bike has been used so there is no clear law regarding retrofitting any add-on such as dongle. When I make a bike, I supply certificate of conformity to EN15194, affix its sticker and have to have product liability insurance. Martin does not do any of this, he...

You know very well that if something bad happens, the insurance companies will go after whoever can pay in their place. Too much hassle for a few sales and anyhow, I much prefer making e-bikes that can still be ridden without power.

it's not a good bike. It has a heavy direct drive motor, exposed wiring, rides like a motorbike, is inefficient on hills because it lacks a reduction gearbox, hard to pedal without power because it lacks a clutch unit. Direct drive motors are good for motoring fast on flat roads which is...
