I think Jim has already succeeded since the post has disappeared. .

Was it the same as the reply to Ted that has now appeared in full on your fourth attempt above? .

Using the same road to inform, it's crawl speed. The only zone on it where there's lots of pedestrians is outside the primary school area at going in and out times, and we all creep through then at around a walking pace. There's a zebra crossing at one end, but some first year parents and...

I think they have effectively admitted liability with their actions. Before the two year extension of the warranty, another of their actions to deal with the Impulse problems was the rolling warranty. In that they promised that each replacemnt motor would have a fresh two year warranty, no...

Ah but we had furry coats back then, as well as cozy caves with no draughty back doors! .

These limits do work though, albeit in a different way. For example my London Borough introduced a borough wide 20 limit with only the main through routes exempted. Before the 20 limit the spine road running through my estate had a 30 limit but was commonly driven at 35 to 45 mph. The 20...

Ah but it's progress. Think how terrible it was for us as cavemen, no markets to worry about, no pandemics with no population density or distant travel, and dying by about 30, long before any serious painful diseases set in. Dreadful. .

I'm taking no precautions whatsoever, with my heart functioning at probably only around 30% efficiency I'm at far greater risk of death from heart attack death. Only two attacks this month on the 1st and 19th due to my precautions in dealing with that after suffering four in January , so this...

Very short sighted business sense too. Keeping the price low or dropping it even lower at a time of widespread demand could greatly increase permanent usage in future. .

Don't know all the fuss is about, have they forgotten that there's also plans for a fourth runway? If the third is banned, just build the fourth one instead. Simples. .

But that is what's meant by the isolated example. They make others to whom it has relevance sit up and take notice. Lots of cases could have the opposite effect, people might just yawn at the commonplace . 100% detection is impossible so we normally deal with the important. If cyclists only...

Making the occasional example of an obvious offender as I posted. You only have to look at the Charlie Alliston case to know how making an example of someone results in widespread publicity having a dramatic effect. His one and a half year sentence put a whole new slant on a bicycle's...

We'll probably end up doing what we so often do, making the occasional example of obvious cases, like this illegal e-bike one. It happened to cyclist Charlie Alliston when he collided with and killed a woman who stepped out in front of him without looking. Only having one brake instead of two...

Try standing in front of the fired bullet and then say that! .

And in our country with its out of date infrastructure, likely to be served in an 1861 prison! :( .

True, but they could have achieved that within the law, rather than making a local rule that breaches the law and which hardly anyone can understand and never use. That's similar to how we got into the mess we were in for 12 years with most pedelecs illegally powered. It seems they never...

Yes, but not at the time of the attempted prosecution, Now we have a new DfT mess with their bonkers ruling on type approval to permit a throttle. That is against both UK and EU law. .

How true this is becomes very clear when the DfT, who make the law, don't know it to the point of comedy. When a police force tried to prosecute a pedelecer for having a 250 watt motor, the DfT backed them, until I pointed out an anomaly and the prosecution was stopped. The problem was that...

These were designed as back pedal brake only, but that was removed to suit the UK when exported here. I'm about 90% certain it would work just as well as your old unit since I cannot see any reason why not. However, £834 is an excessive price for a mid drive unit, £500 to £600 is more normal...

Conversion to hub drive isn't as comprehensive as making a new bottom bracket mount. You or anyone else can open up the unit and strip out all the works except the pedalshaft assembly and its bearings, then use that as the bottom bracket. Some have done that with old failed Panasonic mid drive...
