    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't use social media for news - albeit having an account with FB, but apparently, the BBC does not understand why people voted for brexit (according to some tory MPs who want the BBC to stop being funded by levy but privatised instead).

    Fiido D1/D2/D2S vs Alfawise X1

    they have very small 14" wheels, not good when hitting a pothole. I would recommend the Rambletta. It won't be as compact (folded size 83cm x 83cm x 45cm) but has much more comfortable riding position, much like a normal size bike. The Rambletta weighs 20kgs, at the high end of your target but...

    it's difficult to pin the Mansion Tax or 40% tax relief on pension contribution on Larry though.

    Raleigh Felix plus, and its brakes

    you need to find a stretch of safe road without traffic, run the bike up to 15mph then brake sharply, then repeat. I usually bed in the rear brakes first, then the front brakes. The bedding process is very quick, you only have to repeat about 10 times on each. After that, the brakes should work...

    does it matter? Cummings is at least a bit more intelligent than the rest of BJ's cabinet. Rishi Sunak is the near perfect rent a mouth.

    Would you pay £30 to save 1kg?

    yes, rotational inertia. The Woosh Faro has the lightweight Aikema motor, it feels very much like a push bike except you are given bionic legs. A bike with a heavy hub motor makes you feel like carrying a gyroscope. Also, when you turn, the momentum inertia is also smaller, you can feel it...

    yes, but sajid javid did nothing while in tenure. Sunak is much sharper.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I watched BBC Victoria Derbishire this morning. I honestly can't see anyone of them beat Johnson. I would have liked to see Hilary Benn in the running but hey ho.

    Help! Bbs01b problem

    Hall sensors are located inside the motor, can be tested and replaced. Are you OK with removing the motor?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I thought Lisa Nandy came out best. Keir Starmer seemed a bit lost. Ashcroft polled 10,000 voters who switched away from Labour. Most of them would like Labour to be more centrist.

    I can repair the motor for you if you send it to me.

    Help! Bbs01b problem

    try to proceed with a minimum install: connect just the battery and LCD to the motor, then hold the - button to start the motor in walk mode. If that works, add one brake lever at a time then the throttle last.

    Mid Drive for off trail and Hub Motor for flat commutes, true or false?

    I'd say hub. It's slightly lighter and requires virtually no gear change and certainly less concentration. the only thing in favour of CD bikes is the better weight distribution. If you have to carry anything at all, that advantage goes through the window.

    it makes sense for intercity trains to run faster than cars on motorways but there is really no need for 150mph train on 100 miles link.

    Police ebike checks.

    this is the EN15194 label on all Woosh bikes: it is weatherproof and always affixed to the seat post.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I can see the benefit of having more trains but England is compact, do we need HS? If we run more trains at lower speed (100mph), the cost/benefit would be better justified.
