Well I got 65 miles using no charge at all, but it was in the cars bike carrier at the time ... Does that count? More seriously, on a level or undulating road, with both bikes going at their motors optimum design speeds, there will or should be nothing in range between hub and cd motors. Your...

I thought you might say something like that... But hang on increased range is an objective measurement, evenif the rider has to work slightly harder to achieve it.

.. what if during these types of discussion the japenese, and others said privately to Mrs May.. "are you off your trolley, , Brexit is a stupid stupid idea , our interest in the UK is as a transit area for 650 million not 60 million. "

Agreed. But the range from a crank motor is typically better, and in my opinion, gives a more bikelike response. There is plenty of discussion and argument about which is better and it has almost a religious cult dimension.. my preference is crank drive, and your 1800 stl would start getting...

.. that's a bit disparaging as a putdown of 150 years of electrical machine design. The bearings and gears is where the mechanical failures take place.

A closer analogy might be buying a Bosch is like buying Apple iPhone or iPad. Within the walled garden they inhabit, they cannot be bettered, and they do their best to stop you getting outside. Premium product at premium price. Just like in the old days no-one got fired for buying IBM, the same...

Hi Peter, I'm surprised that you have not had a number of responses. I think that the 1600 to 2000 bracket is around the sweet spot for ebikes. It allows for the mechanical parts to be of good quality, without compromises , and allows for either a very good hub motor or a one of the crank drive...

I am afraid we are going to have to agree to disagree. I would await the written judgement for vindication, but it's a moot point in any event. If the judge stated that the bike has no brakes .. plural, that was correct. Since according to the prosecution, the bike was initially at 25 mph but...

Don't ignore all the auxiliary services linked to these main players .. example the eu European medicines agency might directly only employ a few hundred, but the number of legal practices and lobbying groups and hotel beds even coffee shops , linked to its activities will have employment...

Again this is contrary to my understanding. Barristers make pleadings or assertions, these may or may not be refuted by the opposite side. Unless the judge makes a definite ruling and this appears in the written judgement, it would not form part of case law According to what you have written...

It's a valid speculation, without preconditions. One does not need to qualify it by assigning a punishment motive to it. The current countries within the EFTA, are pretty small economies, were the UK to join it would upset the current balance, and that would be sufficient reason for the EU to be...

.. not to mention the power cables the telecoms cables and the huge gas pipeline

Flecc, the uninformed (not uniformed as I had previously written, Though this might not be totally incorrect,) hordes basically gave advice to your legislature. They then made the votes. Were there not a minimum of three votes! ... After what appeared to me facile arguments. Any criticism...

Might not the EU have a view about accepting a UK membership of EFTA?. Agreements are double sided, and the EU could ( I am not saying would or should) take a view that the size of the UK would so unbalance the EFTA, so that it's composition no longer fit for purpose.They could then suspend...

.. agreed your country wants a deal with the EU. 48.5% wanted no change to the existing deal and varying fractions of the 52% wanted anything from almost no change to total annihilation of the EU..

By 16 million , I am assuming you are linking it to the remain vote. ... But if not, I trust you are being unfair to close on 50 million of your fellows. I would like to think that those of you living on the island to our East are better than that. Now 34 million out of a potential pool of 46...

I'm sorry but again fecc , I don't read the regulation in that light. The regulation states very clearly that there be at least one braking system. It then makes a distinction between fixed and free wheeling bikes. In the case of the fixie, it then requires that there be a brake fitted to the...

Solar thermal water heating works fairly poorly unless the sun casts a shadow, in my experience. This is true for the flat plate collectors, the vacuum tube types might behave better under cloudy conditions. But it is a no brainer 100% of bath shower heating water for the months from may into...

But isn't bonk a very friendly activity?

.. obviously they used the right tool for the job!
