    that would be in 2027. Corona virus will be just one minor problem if they are still alive then. Look at the current UK figures: 11 dead, 8 recovered 782 still ill.

    Another newbie question

    I ride the Woosh Faro for similar reasons. Although the Faro is not in your budget range (you could buy 2.5 Faros with it), it does do many of the things you'd like to see. https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?faro

    Hacking firmware.

    you don't need a new controller, only a new LCD that the software can talk to and a programming lead. the problem is unless you are a software developer yourself, you put your trust in someone else's skills. It's easy to increase the assist ratio and obtain flattering acceleration but there is...

    I didn't ask. It was three weeks ago. He had symptoms while on holiday in Thailand, cut short his holiday and flew home. He called 111 on the same day, was told not to go to his doctor's surgery -just collect the pills.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    quote: Germany’s Health Minister Jens Spahn recommended events with more than 1,000 people be stopped on the same day that the first German national died. “It’s always the problem of a democratic system; you have to explain yourself to your voters on why this measure has to be taken,” he said...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think 4 weeks behind Italy is wildly optimistic. We purposefully keep the tests to a minimum but the progression of confirmed cases in Italy and in the UK is very similar (doubling every 4-5 days) and real hard fact. Currently, we have 800 confirmed cases. Italy crossed the 800 mark on 27-Feb...

    that works up to a point. most hospitals will soon become 'super super spreaders'. Our government strategy is to keep infected people at home, give them some antiviral pills and tell them to stay in bed with plenty of hot drinks.

    no, I don't think it's an exaggeration. The corona virus does not usually kill so it can infect most of us quite quickly. If you look at the current progression, 40% every 2 days, based on 10,000 infected today, it's conceivable that 70% of the population (45 millions) would be infected by...

    he should have said he has the symptoms and feels concerned that he may be a spreader and the right course of action is self isolation.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    based on EU's estimate of 70% of us will get contaminated sometime this year, you are looking at possibly 5%-10% needing hospitalisation (those with underlying health conditions). 65 millions * 70% * 7.5% = 3.4 millions in one year that is on top of the usual demand on the NHS for hospital beds.

    one zero out. deaths per day based on average 80 year life expectancy: 1,400,000,000 / (80 * 365) = 47,945

    the idea that is to go before one's time is scary. that put me off driving some years ago.

    Would you pay £30 to save 1kg?

    there are two things that make a ride bad: insufficient power range and poor controller. The controller's Amps rating is the key to good performance: you need 36V 17A controllers to match Bosch Active Line and 36V 20A controllers to match the Bosch CX Line. On top of this, the pedal sensor...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    excellent write-up. The distance between the peaks real contaminations (26-Jan) and apparent detections (5-Feb) is about 10 days. Between lockdown (23-Jan) to under control 11-Feb): 3 weeks. That shows how our government is wrong not to start shutting down public gatherings. This is what...

    Getting me, my child and 4 bottles of beer up a mountain!

    they are not measured by the same units. The motor power is in Watts, battery in Watt Hours (36Volts * 10AH (Amp Hours) = 360 Watt Hours. You will need about 25WH-30WH per mile to climb up the mountain, 5WH per mile to get down. If the route is 6 miles, then you will need 6 miles up, 30WH * 6 =...

    Lightest possible conversion

    I am toying with using the Dapu M65M crank motor in the next bike. it weighs 2.2kgs all-in. Deduct the weight of a normal crankset, we are talking about adding 1.8kg to the bike.
