    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't believe the EU tells us what to do. We can sign up any deal we like, as long as there is a hard border in NI. Think of the NI problem as one of a divorce between NI and the ROI. They can't share the same space after the divorce. After a few years, it will become clear that NI will have...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's why I find leave promoters overselling their cause. It's one thing to claim that the EU tries to punish anyone who wants to leave, it's another thing to treat them like the enemy and we are at war. If your business partner of 43 years wants to leave you, would you stop to be their friend...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's the ERG MPs, who evoke the 'Dunkirk' spirit of wartime Britain to push for 'independence'. Andrew Bridgen for example does not want to settle the bill. We only plan to leave the EU's customs union for goodness sake. it doesn't. If we want the EU to leave their (NI/ROI) border open for our...

    Some countries maintain a prudent, balanced budget (eg Norway), they don't run to the stateless billionaires every year to borrow money and they don't blame foreigners. Greece, Italy, Spain have elected populist politicians who like to spend big to win votes, they tell their voters that theirs...

    many people do not realise that a folding e-bike weighs just as much as a full size bike. While it's easy to find and cheap to buy a 10kg road bike, most folding bikes weigh more than that, even if you pay over £500 for them. Consequently, if you need a lightweight e-bike, it is better to get a...

    and it will be many years, and may be until the next generation of politicians, to conclude on the foolishness of no deal brexit and reverse brexit. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/aug/21/1914-brexit-calamity-inevitable-remainers

    Need help with choosing right ebike.

    That GT is perfect for a conversion. If you could take it to Southend, I can convert it in a couple of hours for you. I would suggest the BBS01B crank drive or the XF08C rear hub drive. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/cart/#/product/uid-195-bbs01b-15ahrack/bbs01b-cd-kit-with-15ah-36v-rack-battery

    Hi Scott, I wouldn't discard the crank drive solutions. I would recommend the Gospade crank drive. https://www.gospadebike.com/ It's easier to fit and simpler to use than the Bafang BBS01B.

    even if the EU were to accept his proposal, the ERG will still vote it down because they don't want any deal.

    that's the unfortunate consequence of 'one size fits all' near zero import duty WTO brexit.

    Ah conversion

    you multiply the Amp Hours by the voltage to get the standardised WH. Each mile uses on average about 10WH. The last 20% of the capacity is unpleasant to use because the voltage is close to the protection cutout, you should not count on it. For example, if your battery is a 36V battery, 36V *...

    JC tells remainers to back him, make him PM, while he does not campaign for remain, not now, not in the next GE. Does it make any sense to you?

    we haven't left yet though. I reckon we'll need at least 2 years in transition to negotiate a new deal.

    the key moment of changeover was the Maastricht treaty and the sign all is not well was when John Major lost at the first reading. Before that, the EC was just what was sold.
