    Help! Motor responds immediately to pedal pressure

    And the earlier Panasonic powered Giant Lafree responded instantly to pressure with its maximum power, so it isn't anything unusual to worry about. .

    How many of you also own and ride a regular bike?

    Very wise Colin. Although I'd had contact with power assisted cycling since 1950 I never wanted to do it myself, always enjoying unassisted cycling too much, even in a very hilly area up into my late 60s. But then I bought a pedelec to assist with pulling a trailer with large loads, and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Indeed, and the business itself has a strangely old fashioned side for one so modern. Maybe a revolutionary new approach is a called for. We can fly drones from thousands of miles away with enough pinpoint accuracy to assassinate an individual, and we invented automatic landing long ago...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This afternoon BA will inform all the pilots who are losing their jobs over the Covid crisis. At the same time they will require all the longing serving pilots who they are not sacking to sign new contracts with massive drops in pay. I wonder how many other companies will follow suit as the...

    ezee liv barn find resurrection

    Shouldn't be a problem, the Liv is a good e-bike, the poor mans version of the Ezee Sprint, but using SLA batteries. You may have the wrong key stopping it turning in the lock. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's just been announced that those recently arrived have been detained in asylum centres and will be flown back to France and Germany next week in accordance with EU rules that they should have sought asylum in those countries or the first EU country they arrived in. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That would certainly solve the problem, the desire to come here would quickly disappear. Best as an EU wide policy though, the whole problem gone and nobody ill treated if they didn't migrate to Europe. .

    UK’s first e-scooter trial scaled back amid widespread misuse – including underage riders zipping through shopping centres

    True, but Boris is fairly confident of not coming to an abrupt violent end at the hands of some of the people. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan could well do if he continues on his present path to dictatorship. Like Nicolae and Elena Ceaușescu, Muammar Gaddafi, Benito Mussolini and the Romanoff family...

    Giant Suede Power on demand modification

    A throttle is permitted here on the Suede Andew, due to it's age. Pedelecs made before 1st January 2016 are ruled by the DfT to have "Grandfather rights" due to the position as it stood before then, when numerous e-bikes had throttles. .

    UK’s first e-scooter trial scaled back amid widespread misuse – including underage riders zipping through shopping centres

    The report I read was definitely on a boat, even naming the island harbour it was sailing into. Still may have been false of course. .

    UK’s first e-scooter trial scaled back amid widespread misuse – including underage riders zipping through shopping centres

    Something I came across yesterday amused me. Boris Johnson visiting Scotland in a "union boosting" visit was entering a port there by boat. It was flying its Union Jack upside down, an internationally recognised signal of distress. :D .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You're splitting hairs again! I see nothing wrong in their use of zero in the context of the sentence, "providing for zero tariffs and zero quotas on goods". Mentioning zero tariffs makes very clear the liberal context of zero quotas. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It is logical though it doesn't read that way at first. Zero quota is no quota, therefore no limit, i.e, infinite quota, but infinite can never be used in any legal document since it isn't specific. .

    UK’s first e-scooter trial scaled back amid widespread misuse – including underage riders zipping through shopping centres

    I think the problem is allowing a trial of something already illegal but only for hire, though widely done anyway with owned ones, confusing for everyone. The illegally being done is already a de facto trial of owned e-scooters. .
