    Full Throttle ebike legal again!

    I think you've read too much into their reply. Take the part I've quoted above. It only mentions adding a throttle, no mention of a motor. In other words you can add a throttle to a pre-existing pedelec and it will be legal. That I agree with. But adding a motor kit to a pre-existing...

    P plates are not compulsory Wicky, only optional. Once the test is passed no additional plates are required. .

    L plates on an s pedelec?

    Yes, you do need L plates with an S Pedelec and a provisional licence. Back in the 1940s and beyond we had them and number plates on any bicycle with an add on motor of any kind, no matter how slow, since they all needed a motor cycle driving licence. It was a real problem to accommodate...

    I can't get that link to load from pedelecs, but it works if copied and pasted into the browser address bar. .

    What's happening at 50 Cycles?

    Not speculation, it's fact from personal involvement knowledge. You sound like you've fallen victim to faith and mysticism. ;) .

    What's happening at 50 Cycles?

    Unfortunately not, they can go broke in one company and immediately set up another. Having said that I seem to remember Scott's wife being a director of 50cycles at one point, inactive as far as I could see. In fairness a company going broke isn't necessarily the fault of the directors. A...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Indeed, Sadiq with his quietly honest way of working is infinitely preferable to when we were lumbered with Boris Johnson's wasteful and lying ways as Mayor. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Another extension probably. We are doomed to live with Brexit for evermore! Or at least that could be true for people of my age, given that the trade talks following any extension can alone exceed 7 years. Traditionally we've scared our little kids with stories about wicked witches and big...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This is almost funny. One moment he's incompetent and useless, now he's superman achieving the impossible! Seriously, his first action would be to agree a single market customs union with the EU, exactly what they want too. Then getting on with the trade deals which would be expedited by that...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree with almost all your post, but the above is wrong. The post war labour government lost it's majority in the 1950 GE, leaving them unable to govern and then losing the 1951 GE. In that hectic post war five years of office they had, they could not have possibly created the decline. Nor...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    What rest? How much do you think he could do in five years? The answer is only a very small amount in present circumstances, especially as he'd be restrained by the EU with the type of departure he favours. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I have wanted to see Corbyn succeed in getting into power to create some balance against the toryism we've been suffering and have posted as much many times. But as I've again posted, now that Farage has sabotaged this coming election, there's almost no hope of that. All I can hope for now is...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Come now, which one of them doesn't do that, it's the name of the game and Corbyn, like the rest, won't keep all his promises. But like all those following the herd, you only attack Corbyn for it. Haven't you noticed Johnsons insane range of promises which cannot and will not be kept...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's not all about the economy and personal wealth, Sweden has been voted happiest country previously and some of the happiest peoples are relatively poor. And you still have those blinkers on. The benefits of a happier, more equitable society are often very tangible and therefore can pay...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Gross exaggeration. Firstly he would not be followed by further Labour governments as I'd already made clear and history shows, Blair's being pseudo Tory government. Secondly, almost all of that list are not free. The profit from the break even among them comes from the society they create...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think your belief is largely based on the way Corbyn has been represented, with no hard knowledge of what he will do. If true that is bigotry. I have no doubt that you would have reacted in the same way to Clement Attlee and his Socialist team, as so many did at the time, and if successful...

    kalkhoff battery how much can I expect

    Your Agattu may have had the Impulse 1 unit which was more reliable and had different software, rationing the power more carefully so likely to consume less. Your I7 will be the more powerful Impulse 2 unit, so that could make a substantial difference. However, like VFR400, I'd expect far more...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You really are far out of touch with reality on this. Corbyn is in the mould of Clement Attlee and his team, all of them true Socialist dreamers in the mould of Keir Hardy who founded the Labour party. Attlee and co. in six years post WW2 realised some of their dreams, transforming the lives...
