    Hardly any ever do though, and they're just as likely to be swimmers. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Of course it's not. Between roughly 500 to as many as 1000 people are drowned each year in UK waters. The great majority of them can swim, which is often why they were in the water in the first place. Non swimmers avoid anything deeper than a bath so very rarely drown. .

    Electric Cars 2020

    Thanks, I do read a number of links like greenguide., driving electric etc,. but haven't gone through them all in knocking this up. Far too many that appear don't make it in the market and I only wanted what was definitely going to be available. I've missed a number of the smallest ones...

    Electric Cars 2020

    Someone introduced as an expert on pure electric cars on a radio programme the other day said there was hardly any choice and they couldn't see that changing for five years or so. It struck me then that this lack of knowledge of the market was probably widespread, given that there's no...

    That's to avoid the betting industry becoming a victim of the coronavirus. Just one of the UK government's sensible precautions. .

    Dalston fatal e-bike crash rider 'going too fast' - Court Case

    In this forum there never is an end. From experience there sometimes appears to be an end, but then many years later someone new comes in and after a search restarts one! .

    I bet they'd be thrilled watching a flow soldering production line at full tilt though, the molten solder wave travelling along under the boards. .

    sakura electric bike need info

    That's very common with e-bikes so it's probably a genuine story. Many elderly men buy an e-bike, later pass away and relatives clear out their stuff. Not knowing what a charger is they throw them out as part of the accumulated junk, so when the bike is sold there's no charger and sometimes no...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    In the unlikely event that one of them would want to know that, they'd either ask Siri or Alexa or Google it on their smartphone. Then disinterested in the answer or lack of, they'd get back to their version of what constitutes living. .

    Yes I said it looks like the S300. The number the dealer gave you is the bike's serial number, beginning with S300 and ending with yours being number 53,462 made. As wheeliepete said, the batteries will almost certainly be dud. The bike may run on them briefly but the range very short. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'd suggest any condition which threatens an earlier than expected death due to it, so the coronavirus weakening tipping the balance. The same as 'flu for example, hence similar outcomes. You see, like Donald Trump I could be a world class doctor. ;) .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Maybe, you have the right conditions, mountains with icy water flowing off them down to the foothills, ideal for growing Basmati rice. Perhaps your Heddlu should start investigating your curry houses and takeaways to check their rice sources. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No trap, it appears they do have a majority. I haven't been following very closely so may have been mislead by reporting which indicated a probable overall shift in political control to the democrats. We'd need the Senate to change for Trump to be stymied if he got into power again, but there's...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's because they don't grow rice, which is the source of the coronavirus, not bats. Just look at the evidence. It popped up in China, spread throughout the oriental rice growing countries, it's infected the two main regions in India, north and far south where their rice is grown and now...

    If with SLA batteries it could be very old now, probably around 15 years or more. I've never seen a lithium batteried version. They are old legal standard 200 watt rated e-bikes and were the main competitor in that market for Powabyke. It's probably this S300 model with SLA batteries, has it...

    New battery tech coming soon

    The batteries have already come down considerably in price. The Nissan Leaf launched 9 years ago at £32k, that price evenly split between the car at £16k and the battery at £16k. Those were no profit prices to kick sales into life. Now 9 years later that car alone, if it could be bought...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think there's a fair chance Trump won't get a second term. He didn't get the majority of votes last time and only got in by a quirk in their system. It only needs a tiny shift for him to lose and it already seems very likely the House of Representatives at least will change to a democrat...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We already have, the Great Repeal Bill passed into UK law every EU law we've ever adopted. That includes many instances of the European Court being the final arbiter and all are agreed that the WA is not truly leaving the EU but keeping us largely in. That is why parliament vote it down many...
