    Ebike charging using Street EV chargers for electric cars

    Forget that, the e-cars are going to be an essential part of the supply system and all governments are planning that way, including the UK's. See the last paragraph in this post above. We'll all be driving our own e-cars way into the future. .

    Ebike charging using Street EV chargers for electric cars

    Theres already queuing at some charge points and charging companies asking the hybrid drivers to give way to full e-cars. That isn't the problem it might appear to be. E-cars have charge timers which can be set for various times and some electricity suppliers offer cheaper late times...

    Ebike charging using Street EV chargers for electric cars

    This may be true for domestic supplies, but certainly not for other applications like ev chargers. For example: "All InstaVolt chargers cost just £0.35 per kWh to use. There’s no connection fee and no monthly membership fee. Pay only for what you use. That’s it!" Obviously that is far above...

    Ebike charging using Street EV chargers for electric cars

    Yes, some can be contactless card only without any registration. The chargers that US company Instavolt provide are like that and what I've used on my e-car, but they don't have many chargers yet. However the charger has sensing. First one applies the contactless card to the screen to get the...

    Here a motorised scooter is a motor vehicle in law, so a positive test would mean a lost driving licence for at least a year. Could make the hire ones unpopular among the drinking classes. .

    Three points: This is trial which must comply with the law as it stands. Hence driving licences. We aren't going to pass a new law through both Houses just for a short trial. Mobility vehicles are limited to 8 mph on the road, half the proposed 15.5 mph for the scooter trial. Pedelecs are...

    scooters

    They know just as well as us that many riders will take to the pavements regardless of the law, so they were hoping for a more moderate speed limit. Many countries have intermediate speed limits for pavements, for example in Japanese cities where it's often compulsory for bikes to switch to the...

    The requirement is simply that it's the law, see my post above. .

    scooters

    They didn't say that, they said they were hoping that they would be limited to near walking pace but to an absolute maximum of 12.5 mph". That's because the government had said that's the speed limit they'd prefer in any future law. There is no law for scooters at present, this is just a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think you are mixing up the intrusion of neo nazis into BLM with the genuine movement. It's the neo nazis who are wanting to topple the capital system by looking for any opening to disrupt. BLM is in good health and the Premier League still supports it. If you watch match of the day on BBC...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We are currently on course to repeat the 1950s and '60s when we went bankrupt as a nation. Then the corrective actions in the 1970s were to join the fledgling EU and call in the IMF to run the economy for us while our government stayed in the background as a puppet. The "autonomy" that being...

    This has nothing to do with rational decisions, it's politics. With Brexit we've put ourselves in the position of needing a US trade deal, and the US farmers who their government want to help, want to flog us their sub standard foods. But the British public are making that too awkward to...

    Best range fpr an e-bike

    We used to take range surveys among members in the form of watt/hours per mile , but as vfr400 indicates, it told us nothing. The differences were huge ranging from the most economical at 5.1 w/h per mile, to the greediest two models consuming 24 w/h per mile with some riders. So nearly 5 to 1...
