    Brexit, for once some facts.

    ...and some on this thread. Ed Miliband was on BBC2 last night. He still has some passion left but still not much argument. BJ spends so much money, Labour has to invent a new bitcoin.

    Opinions about what would suit my needs greatly appriociated

    The Gran-Camino suits heavier riders because it has a larger motor, wider wheels and tyres. It can also cope with light offroading: front shocks with maxle, rear motor has torque arms and a solid base for mounting the battery. The Gran-Camino is probably the only sub £2000 e-bike that is...

    Newbie considering an e-conversion. But what.

    the new rule since 1/1/2016 applies exclusively to manufacturers and importers. Twist and go throttles are not allowed. You can see why I program ready made e-bikes with throttle function only enabled after you pedal a bit. That is to make the throttle inactive on start up so not a twist and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I reckon the confusion is caused by our government. For example: until earlier in the spring, pregnant women were told not to vaccinate, then around June/July when there were more doses available, one dose then now two.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    from epidemic point of view, the percentage of population lacking appropriate antibodies matters much more than their age. The Spanish flu killed a lot more young people while it's the reverse for covid. Different countries have different policies regarding what age is suitable for covid...

    why? Children get vaccinated since 6 month old. The balance of benefit / risk of vaccinations is a political decision.

    I agree with oyster. The young people can spread the disease and well as any older unvaccinated person.

    Newbie considering an e-conversion. But what.

    there is little difference in feels beside the weight of the motor in the wheel. Once you get up to speed, I reckon you'll stop thinking about them. what hub drives need is someone does an OSF project like the one for the Tongsheng TSDZ2. Hub kit controllers need a more refined, user...

    30% of hospital beds are needed for treating covid patients. It will take time to increase the capacity of the NHS to cope with the load. We also have to learn to accept hundreds of covid deaths every day.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Vietnam can't buy enough doses for its population (97 millions). It has to rely on donations. The US gave it 3 million doses and another 1 millions more recently. They have already been used up. My guess it will have to endure another 6 months until it receives enough doses to vaccinate the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think that at the final analysis when we will have learned to live with covid, countries like NZ and Sweden will have fared far much better than we have done. We spend far more than them per inhabitant and have more deaths and injuries. That is the result of our late decisions and putting...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Vietnam's present situation goes to show that preventative vigilance alone can't stop covid. Sooner or later, a more infectious variant is going through simple protections and precautions. At the moment, the only hope is more doses of the AZ vaccine. worldometer: Vietnam daily cases: 12,680...

    that invention is remarkable. The only downside is we still don't know how robust the system is in the long term. quote: The researchers estimate that the cell would need only US$5 of electricity to extract 1 kilogram of lithium from seawater. The value of hydrogen and chlorine produced by the...

    there was very little atoms other than hydrogen and helium formed by primordial nucleosynthesis in the immediate 20 minutes after the Big Bang. Lithium is made from Hydrogen > Tritium > Beryllium-7 > Lithium-7. In view that the age of our universe is about 13.77 billion years and our sun 4.6...

    the KT-D12L is not ideal. It's meant to fit onto square taper bottom brackets. You can use your cut the disc in your post #1 but the hole in the middle needs to be 55mm in diameter to clear the ballbearing.
