As sjpt replied. Interestingly though there is a proven same point on the danger of the secondary safety effect of the seat belt. The government's own Roads Research Laboratory studied driver behaviour before and after the implementation of the compulsory seat belt law. The most dramatic...

But we can also deal with the unknown ones in advance to a considerable extent, as my long post just above shows if you read it right through. For change to take place, we must change first. .

Certainly not in any way a macho thing, quite the opposite. It's a matter of getting one's priorities right. There are two forms of safety. The second and very inferior one is Secondary Safety, alleviating the effects of accidents, and wearing a helmet is a part of that. The first and far...

He should never have appointed her in the first instance, Home Secretary is one of the three most important offices of state and the post should only be filled by those of the highest standards. The fact that only a short while ago she had been forced to resign due to misconduct in a previous...

If you fitted the motor etc to a bike before 1st January 2016, it definitely benefits from grandfather rights and can keep its throttle Thereafter it's for the lawyers to argue over, since there isn't really any provision for kit bikes in pedelec or any other law. A court might well rule that...

For a whole host of reasons that is not a rational argument. Indeed it can be shown to be irrational. .

Indeed, and in any accident we are involved in, no matter how much the other party is to blame, we have always played a part. It's a fundamental of none of us being perfect. .

Yes, if it's the one that the dealer was compelled by law to give with the bike when he sold it to you (which hardly any of them do give of course since the law doesn't require that it be fitted onto the bike!) .

True, and remember it's possible to renew every part of the bike as it wears out, even the frame! Trigger's Broom video .

Of course that was an exaggeration, but I argue a slight one, nowhere near as big an exaggeration as most might assume. After all, it's kept me and all others in my vicinity safe for many decades. When I've posted about not wearing a helmet I've often groaned at the responses from those...

There is another way on some systems to get a higher assist speed that doesn't involve altering the rear gearing, and it might apply to yours. See this link on my Panasonic support website. .

It illustrates that we do in fact have much more influence on others and circumstances than most accept. I've posted at length on this previously but minds are so often set that it's often a waste of time, However, in precis: In my early driving years I had three accidents in cars where in...

Near enough though, giving me enough confidence to motorcycle for 23 years without a helmet since here were no consumer ones for a while and the law didn't require it for a while even after they did arrive. And I've never owned a cycle helmet in all of those 70 odd years. Again there weren't...

Nor am I, my safety record on the roads is as much due to everyone around me. But it starts with ourselves, not only by our own safe conduct but in the example we continuously set. .

In over 70 years of cycling, 67 years of driving and over 50 years of motorcycling, much of it in crowded London, I've hurt no-one, not even myself. So I can say what would have happened had he been similarly safety minded: Nothing. .

Hi Neville, here's a collection of information to help you: First on this link: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/clacking-noise-kalkhoff-impulse-2-motor.22024/post-318886 is this post by 50cycles detailing the indefinite running warranty for replaced motors, an admission of defects...

Which probably means he was doing well over 30 so is very happy to accept the lower estimate. .

No problem for them with the low population, if the water threatened their winter cave they could just move to their summer residence, or vice versa. .

I wouldn't worry about that Ted, it's typical Government/Civil Service style, covering themselves with an excuse in case one is needed. In this case the target is obviously parity with the mainland UK. .

I've posted a "LIke" as has Jim, it's looking very much as though all the pressure will result in an unusually fast result. Fingers crossed. .
