    Are handlebar gear changers back to front

    But not two or more actions to go to a particular gear as one has to with trigger shifters. With the gripshift it's one action only to go to any gear wanted. The logic is the same as on a motorcycle twistgrip throttle. Twist back to go up the gears, i.e. go faster. Twist forward to change...

    Are handlebar gear changers back to front

    Yes, but it's still a single twist action forward or backwards to go straight to any gear. That's as said above by feel of number of clicks or by looking at the gear window. I find that much better than the different and sometimes multiple up and down actions of trigger shifters.

    Riding illegal bikes can lead to being charged with driving offences.

    Yes. Legal pedelecs remain bicycles in law so are not subject to RTA speed limits. Any e-bike not conforming to the EAPC pedelec law limits is a motor vehicle in law, this stated by the 1983 EAPC legislation and underlined by the two and three wheel motor vehicle type approval law 168/2013...

    Riding illegal bikes can lead to being charged with driving offences.

    But do to illegal e-bikes of course, as I posted in this link. .

    Riding illegal bikes can lead to being charged with driving offences.

    The prosecutor said he was travelling at above the road limit as well, which could have been 20 or 30 mph in town these days. If he was guilty will depend on whether the bike was legal. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not entirely unique though, that's long applied to the Channel Islands and our Isle of Man too, indeed all of our crown dependencies. .

    Riding illegal bikes can lead to being charged with driving offences.

    Although a first case, it's not a precedent since riding an e-bike not conforming to pedelec law has always been a driving offence, since such an e-bike is a motor vehicle in law. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The EU don't appear to be concerned. Don't be surprised to learn that they grant an extension, whether we like it or not. I'm still betting that it is compliant with the Benn Act, since Johnson has legally acknowledged at the time of sending that he sent the request. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    An irony that is surely a condemnation of our government, India of all places solving our British hunger problem: "As many UK schools break for half term, chef Romy Gill and Sheila Dillon focus on our national problem with holiday hunger. Earlier this year, a UN special rapporteur found poverty...

    Changed Commute - Super Soco?

    It even raised temptation in me, despite giving up my CB500R a few years back. But then I looked at the rain outside and remembered my warm and cosy Nissan Leaf tucked away in the garage! .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    An open question to all the thread's respondents, in accordance with which I answer that clubs have officers. It seems Marc Francois regards the ERG as a club, which is probably not far from true. .

    Don't be too sure, we have many micro breweries now so it's impossible for anyone to really know them all. .

    Super Soco TC Max Motorbike

    And I applaud your decision, using the right vehicle for the job you want to do in the way in the way you want to do it. Clearly for many like you a speed pedelec isn't the right vehicle, and them only being permitted in four countries in the world means very restricted choice and high prices...

    New ebike battery technology coming soon?

    Maybe one far distant day, and if they left it at that it would be fine. But Jackson is undoubtedly promoting his idea for commercial use now when it's abundantly clear it's a dud on cost grounds alone. He's obviously not a fool so knows this, leaving us to conclude he's in it for what money...

    How strange! Surely the more comprehensive the passport coverage, the better? Ideally I'd like a World Passport with no necessity for visas anywhere. .

    New ebike battery technology coming soon?

    Yet another one trying to con his way into some money by spouting nonsense, such as this: "According to Jackson, because aluminium-air fuel cells have a much greater density than lithium-ion batteries, they could be used in buses or big trucks. If powered by lithium-ion, such vehicles would be...
