    apple crap

    That sort of problem with batteries can occur with all vendors. I had a Sony Xperia and one two sepeatse occasions it got very hot and refused to charge went intonation red light mode. . Unfortunately it was one of the early non opening ones...

    Battery performance

    If the display is anything like the the bosch Active intuvia then what the display is giving is a notional calculation based on your consumption after the last few miles extrapolated on the amount of voltage in the battery pack. My car has something similar, and I can travel 50miles and it can...

    Fat bikes on beach

    It is probably one of those occasions where a central drive motor is superior . It would tend to be more protected and the shaft from the motor is spinning at a higher speed.

    ... And it's not just bike parts it happens to, as anyone who has had a romantic session can testify.

    apple crap

    It looks to me that this groups problem is that of very early adopters, where there are as yet no spare parts, no junked machines and no staff qualified to repair.

These are the two most important variables , followed by your fitness level ,and weight gain over the winter!!!!!. , And then bicycle tyre pressure. And remember for every mile you freewheeled down, you expended energy...

    South of Blackrock ,at a place called whites cross there is a narrow road which then runs parallel to the seashore , and for maybe two kilometres , then it swings a little westwards and bypasses on theeastward side of Castle Bellingham,. That gets one off the main road . There is no...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    When we in this simple republic have a referendum, and we are going into one now, there is an committee established by law, which sets out a booklet , agreed by representatives from both sides of the question which presents both sides of the arguement. The commission is usually chaired by a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You might have , flecc, lived by such standards, but they were not by any means universal. Don't forget the 39 million that our civilised father's killed between 39 and 45, . What has happened in the last few decades is an increase in recording and tabulating information, so things which were...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Zathlan, I am pleased that you have, belatedly perhaps, accepted that Brexit in the terms currently available is a bad idea. Where I part company is that, in my opinion, irrespective of the quality of the leadership, and even the time frame it was always going to be a bad idea. If as being...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Zathlan, both labour and the cons lost the last election in the UK. It was only because of the vagaries of your law about fixed term governments which allowed an accomodation with the DUP to be realised. In other democracies, the entire cabinet would have had to relinquish their places. I also...

    Final mile eBike solution

    Walking for 1 mile is a very viable option, but when it gets to 2 or 3 it becomes either the occupation or a major delay. 10 minutes walking is fine and dandy, and gets one close to the mile mark, but double that and speed goes down, so that if one did more than 4 miles in the first hour , one...

    Has anybody bought Ebike through crowdfunding platform like Indiegogo?

    The small sprokets has a number of functional advantages.. it seems impossible to lose the chain. Every other bike I have had has had the chain come off the front chain wheel at one time or another and certainly before 2000k . And the housing ensures that the oil does not get on my throusers...

    Has anybody bought Ebike through crowdfunding platform like Indiegogo?

    Ok nothing is perfect, but the standard Bosch Active with the small drive sprocket is pretty close... After 2000km, no problems of any sort with the drive, the electronics ,the display or the battery. Mind you it's road use only, I pick my times so that rain is infrequent, and none of the...

    Technology gives an edge, but there are always countermeasures, and cruise missiles are no longer novel.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The logic is so cockeyed that the British would travel such distances to do that , .... Why so that they could then spend more money in firing missiles??? . In these cases, the simple explanation is invariably the correct one. Occam's razor and all that.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Again there are differences in different jurisdictions, but my understanding is determination of guilt or innocence is the role of the judicary. That police have some discretion in matters that they identify is both necessary and reasonable.. the police man who stops you for not displaying...
