    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Bojo likes to be the action man, full of 'can do' attitude. So far, all he's done proves that he is clumsy, politcally cackhanded. it's JC who's got the better hand. JC knows he has upset many of his own MPs because he tries to hold on to an ever diminishing share of Labour leaning brexit...

    Took the plunge

    Have you tried that on a Halfords Carerra with SR kit? BTW, Bafang can factory lock all their LCDs on request making it impossible to change the speed limit on any of their kits. I can't unlock them myself.

    Took the plunge

    I bet a lot of manufacturers wouldn't think they break any law when they omit a speedometer on an otherwise low speed e-bike.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the EU's position of wait and see is understandable. They don't have to give an immediate answer which will upset one side or the other. Macron is a bit hot headed and opportunistic. He's bluffing.

    Does what I'm looking for exist yet?

    if the Xootr Swift's front fork dropout width is standard 100mm then I would suggest you convert it to electric.

    Took the plunge

    consider this: you take a typical Bafang SWX geared hub motor whose noload speed is about 230RPM. It would break the law if derestricted. That's well established. Now if that motor is fitted to a 20" folding bike as it is often the case with a lot of Chinese folding bikes, it would assist to...

    Bojo will. Failing that, Bercow will. It's not likely that lorries coming to Dublin from the North are going to be stopped next Thursday.

    Which Conversion

    I think for 3.3A current draw, the sag is about 10%-11%. If you look at the amount of energy lost when discharging at 3A, it's 9.8WH (red) -8.8WH (yellow), about 10% so 3.3A would lose about 11%. From there, I would say the voltage sag is about 3.6V for the 17A pull.

    some may, the '128' is a clue.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    on BBCQT, Kate Andrews of the IEA replied that duty we collect from EU imports could be used in state aids to create new high tech jobs in areas like South Shields. That reminds me that when people pointed out that NI is let down by his deal, Bojo suggested that Belfast could have a freeport...

    Lightweight mid-drive kit for short commute

    you haven't read their 200 pages T&Cs! on top of this, they charge 15% commission on their voucher. So their voucher is worth £850 to us. Green Commute Initiative takes 5% commission.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it seems that the marketing hype targets the fact that people are only interested in direct, single step action-reaction. 1. Don't send £350 millions a week to Brussels > let's spend it on the NHS instead. 2. Don't send £350 millions a week to Brussels >Nissan leaves the UK>Loss of production...

    Looking for a bit of advice

    idealworld.tv don't have them anymore. Amazon don't have them anymore. It seems that they don't have assembly in the UK, necessary since the EU imposes anti-dumping duty on Chinese e-bikes.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I reckon it's more a case that Javid can't reveal his budget in a couple of weeks. The problem is Bojo makes spending promises wherever he goes, Javid will have a hard time finding the money for it because his budget has to be checked by the OBR and they are civil servants. The OBR will ask the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I watched BBCQT last night. They were in South Shields. The audience was largely pro Labour and pro brexit. when the question turned to whether Bojo's 12-Dec election would be a Christmas gift, someone in the audience (I suspect a pro BXP) suggested that if the conservatives combine their...

    JC may outfox BJ and Cummings by bringing TM's deal with some Labour input back to the HoC next week.

    The Apprentice

    The £1,300 is the retail price, those special large buyers get 50% discount too. So their price is half that. Still, there is some good out of that gameshow. Andy and me are off our feet rushing around this morning with callers.
