    Thoughts on regulations?

    We've got both already, L1e-A class. Four times the rated power allowed with 15.5 mph and full throttle as well. Yes has to be registered and insured, but no driving licence necessary. Getting someone to make them is a problem though since no-one has seen a demand it seems over at least two...

    Thoughts on regulations?

    I strongly disagree with her, and all the members videos in here of their collisions and injuries at 20 or so with cars pulling out, turning across etc show why. Allowing that would be bad, allow 30 and it would be carnage and a sharp rise in deaths and serious injuries. Here's the only...

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

    Yes, it's the sales for illegal use, they are everywhere. Worse still it's major supposedly responsible companies like Halfords who are selling them, a large range from 8 different brands: Halfords range of e-scooters .

    petition to increase the speed limit

    Yes, e-cars will never be cheap and I've long thought that is the political intention anyway. A public almost universally running around in their own cars has been a huge inconvenience in so many ways, providing for them, coping with them, the crimes they assist, the pollution, the social costs...

    petition to increase the speed limit

    They are probably anticipating the possibility that a ban on i.c. motorbikes will follow the i.c. car ban eventually. .

    petition to increase the speed limit

    Every little helps made Tesco rich! Just wait and see. Anyway, it isn't 350 kW per charger and won't be for a very long time. Tops now is 110 to 150 apart from a few Tesla chargers. .

    Throttle is a life saver

    I'n very sorry to learn this Dave, it puts my occasional tachycardial heart attacks into perspective (last ones 9th and 26th of July), though I don't try to cycle any more now since it triggers them too easily. I suppose you could also build yourself an L1e-A to steam up any hill with throttle...

    petition to increase the speed limit

    They are already in the pipeline, as are large multipoint charging stations fully roofed with solar panels and storage powerwalls. One already has planning permission. The naysayers don't begin to know the half of what is going on, they are still living ten years ago where e-cars are...

    petition to increase the speed limit

    But they never will, will they. The rate of growth of green power has astonished everyone and will continue to do so. But the thing you are leaving out is that all the e-cars will be supplying the grid too, as they already do in Denmark. E-cars are part of the supply plans for the future in...

    petition to increase the speed limit

    Very unusually for you, you're not up to date Soundwave. We don't need all the power stations you imagine, that was an old belief. For starters we can't make 30 million new e-cars to replace them all now. We only have to reach making 2 million a year in 15 years time for when new i.c. sales...

    petition to increase the speed limit

    I don't keep a record of all releases but the Merc on the link below is a new release of something easily capable of carrying what you want to. You'd have to do a charge during the run to cover 350 miles but that need only take under 30 minute at its 110 kW charge rate. Mercedes EQV Not...

    petition to increase the speed limit

    First, you are one of a tiny minority. The average male annual mileage is 9000, the average female mileage under 6000. Clearly at 120 to 180 miles a WEEK they don't do anything remotely like you. Second you'll see plenty of these on A roads as well as motorways: Third, you really must get...

    petition to increase the speed limit

    I alwsy get amused at these posts from diesel drivers reassuring themselves by thinly veiled criticisms of e-cars and wishful thinking. ;) They have already, but not the way you think, the ban on i.c. car buyimg was to be 2040, but they've just brought it forward to 2035. But that isn't the...

    petition to increase the speed limit

    And you can carry on for another 15 to 35 years! 15 years until buying an i.c. c ar is banned, then a further 20 years to wear out the last ones bought before the government takes all i.c. cars off the road. That's assuming you can still find fuel stations, they're already down to less than...

    petition to increase the speed limit

    Not even that Ross. The 25kph / 15.5 mph assist limit is an international standard allowing widespread travel carrying pedelecs or riding across borders. No government will wreck that widely enjoyed benefit just for 3 mph, it would be too stupid for words, ESPECIALLY as I keep repeating...

    Thoughts on regulations?

    My apologies. I'd had such a skinful of this subject after the latest four page thread and the previous 14 years of it that I didn't go through it all. .
