    Brexit, for once some facts.

    .. if the deals are service consultant based, then any EU restrictions on trade which was touted as one of reasons for exiting the EU, are irrelevant, so why Brexit? But if these companies want to deal with European clients then they will need to accept EU rules and ECJ rule...

    Buying my first e-bike

    Most of the step through frames will have the battery on the back rack. Putting the battery in a slot vertically behind the saddle post is only on a few bikes.

    Dublin area .. no serious hills unless you live in howth , Killiney or Glencree. Any ebike will work ok. Your budget might just get you a Raliegh captus if you can get to Lisburn near Belfast.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Looking for a very light weight Step through bike

    An ordinary bike weighs about 14 kg, a battery weighs about 3.5kg, a motor another 4 kg , a controller and wiring another 1kg, so an overall weight penalty of 9kg for electrifying a bike. Typical well speced road worthy ebikes are up to 23kgs. It costs a lot of money to reduce weight, exotic...

    Can I use Kalkhoff battery charger in USA

    Three options .. buy a step up transformer. 110 to 220 and keep the existing pack a 200w trafo would do fine. For the purposes you need , an autotransformer would be suitable.

    . Thank you for that Tommie. I would have believed that it was an non runner anyway. The only good news will be when the UK wakes up and realises that it has all been a monumental fiasco ( I could have used another word), and backs out asap.
