    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That there's always a group wanting isolation, and no immigration, is no surprise, that they were given oxygen, is . The condemnations from official England were and continue to be either lacking or mealy-mouthed. I agree that the official , if the term can be used, Brexit stance has been to...

    Bosch computer (HMI) not charging

    The battery in the hmi is supposed to be rechargable, and açcording to the op açcepts a charge for up to 40 minutes operation. .via the usb port .. Not sure but that seems a bit low to me... And I have no inclination to switch on my own for 40 minutes to confirm.

    Bosch computer (HMI) not charging

    Don't know. My suggestion about brasso was not flippant. Suggest a tiny amount on a tissue and then remove the grease lubricant with alcohol say vodka or white spirit or nail varnish remover again with a little tissue

    Bosch computer (HMI) not charging

    I would suspect dirty contacts between the intuvia and it's mounting plate. ..causing it not to charge. Since the other functions seem ok , might be limited to only one contact. time to take out the brasso. Otherwise it's a more expensive job. Defective charging circuit in the intuvia or...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I take my information from a variety of sources including but certainly not limited from all the contributions on this thread. In the case of medics and associated personnel I am using personal knowledge from family members and their interactions with their work colleagues. Note my use of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Interesting choice of words. I would say that the UK needs these medics but doesn't want them. Whether you wish to acknowledge it or not that is the strong perception amongst non UK eu citizens working in sumilar positions in England today.

    To your questions yes, yes and probably because I am disinclined to open up a perfectly good and operational unit to definitely answer your question.

    Battery Chargers

    Hang on and with respect which of us has actually lectured on electronic power supply design? . The Bosch engineers are not fools and neither of their accountants. When you have an established design in place with supply chains set up etc you only change it for good reason . profitability is...

    Came off bike in most plonkerish way

    Mine is pretty low noise. Can just about get a whine on turbo. If those guys were using dongles kit well then they were in super turbo mode and noisier.

    Need for 8mi one way commute want style and ease

    Unfortunately the biggest problem you have identified is bringing it up steps and into a lift. These indicate that a folder with small wheels is the better compromise. If you believe that a full sized bike works for you then your options are wider. There is nothing wrong with smaller wheels...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It is but as I was trying to point out there were other factors. Another one was the then fashionable theories of Malthusian population dynamics and free market economics. The concept of "the rights of man " was not strong in official circles

    Came off bike in most plonkerish way

    That is basically a very lazy article. In essence it's saying that 10% of the cyclists killed were on ebikes , a figure in line with the last three years statistics . While it wasn't easy to find the number of active ebikes and ordinary bikes in Holland, the figures over the last few years...

    Came off bike in most plonkerish way

    Can't answer the spaz question but as to the other. No snaking, particularly if you were sitting in the saddle. Your weight would have precluded it. I am inclined to think it was over reaction. .. when you twisted the handle bars abruptly, you may have forced the rear of the front wheel against...
