The combined populations of Norway and Sweden is 15 million split 2:1. So the traffic is let's say 10% at most of that into the uk or 5% in the other direction. In this as in other matters , size does matter. I would assume without providing evidence that the bulk of traffic from Norway into the...

No .. you got the wrong end of the stick. With a hub motor you just have less options, with a crank or central motor you have many many more. The mid gear say gear 5, suitable for flat road or slight downhill equates to the power assist that a typical hub would provide, but then you have 4...

. There are some errors , I hope, in your posting. In referring to hubs and central drive motor, I suspect you have them in y wrong sequence. Your a level physics is correct... Unless the torque produced by the motor is greater than the static forces acting on the bike wheel the bike and motor...

The response of the Madrid government was \is very short sighted. What they should have said and done was to delegitimise the process by stating that 1. It was not a fair process, 2. did not have any standing and they would totally ignore it. 3. And then making slowly and consistently the case...

. Flecc a new referendum on the result of the negotiations might be therapeutic for the British psyche but that's all it would be, it has zero relevance in the real world. Comments about stables and horses. Any other "assurances" , wherever issued were just flim flam

I am going to break my self imposed rule about commenting on british politicians to note that the comments attributed to the Palace about your prime minister's behaviour at the time of the formation of the new government would be the opening salvo in a leadership challenge.

Zalthan again I am forced to agree with you,excluding the guns bit obviously. The .uk has by this stage backed itself so far into a corner that there is no get out. I flagged this up in a number of posts at the appropriate times .. debate in HoC, debate in HoL , the rules governing article...

When I read articles like that I am inclined to ask "who benefits"? From formented strife in Europe. The Russians? , the Americans? . There are fractures in every society , rivalries between towns, football clubs, religious groups etc. All it takes is cleverness in exploiting these...

The referendum was basically tied.. Zatlan has referred to it as a binary choice, In binary systems, there is a threshold between the 0 and 1 states called the forbidden zone. Where it's in a undeterminable state. That is where the result of the referendum poll lay. No decision is actually...

According to the official EN directive the electrical assistance is supposed to progressively decrease beyond 15.5 mph and that exactly is What the Bosch drive does

I don't see why it would necessarily leave. The people's living in those regions were born into the European union area and therefore have the rights that go with it. You are harking back to the propaganda from the time of the Scottish referendum. I am not sure that there were...

It is however a totally irrelevant comparison. Your foreign minister was not in any position to advocate or affect genocide . What he would have done would have been to crassly insult his hosts. The U.K. has no right to an embassy or diplomatic relations with any country.. It is a...

That's fair comment, and my knowledge is pretty sketchy, but it appears to me that the two places I have visited New York and San Francisco , both had defects in their road networks, with New York very poor. The roads from Manhattan to the JFK airport in particular highly congested, incapable...

How much of the US research activities are based on immigrant students and post docs?.what the Americans are pretty good at is commercial exploitation. But look at where they are deficient.... Their road system is a disgrace. The roads around New York are a patchwork of repairs. Their long...

Look at bikes like the Raleigh Captus. About 1500 , Bosch motor, fully equipped, battery the same size as that model. The chain is virtually enclosed. The current Bosch uses a much smaller chain wheel making it easier to enclose. Oiling a chain? Probably every six months and 5 minutes. Sturdy...

For someone living in the south of France perhaps a reasonable question. In the UK and Ireland, we often get temperatures slightly below freezing and over the course of a day it can cycle above and below zero Celsius multiple times. Dumping rock salt , the cheapest type , depresses the freezing...

I can but a court might take a different view. It depends on what the monies are and their purpose. A government might levy all firms for say training of staff and then give rebates or grants from that fund for those with approved apprenticeship programmes . Ditto for safety systems . The state...

In Ireland "being a guest of the Queen or King " had a slightly different meaning and it involved having oatmeal based breakfasts! In regards to your main point, I had undertaken responsibility for teaching apprentice electricians and in one of my practical classes there appeared a bald...

If you are comfortable with the idea of leaving the bike at the local station, then full sized wheels are plausible. I see you had put your mind against the sit up and beg Dutch style, perhaps you might reconsider? They are more comfortable, and give more situational awareness, and because of...

You don't need as many gears on an ebike. So 8 to 10 is more than enough. I would agree with your statement that the Bosch just feels right. My sentiments exactly. But in fairness you are comparing product at twice the price .. At 15 mph your first journey will take 20 minutes without burning...
