    New Stark Mid Motor Bike on Offer in August 2019

    that depends on which factory assembles the bike. On top of normal 6% import duty that Andy-Mat paid for his, the new e-bikes from China attracts about 88% anti-dumping duty. The full list of anti dumping duty is here...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    yes, it's amazing, if you own a slice of ABF. That's the pay off for brexit supporters like ABF (British sugar), their annual bill on import duty runs in hundreds of millions. Ordinary consumers pay higher price due to the devaluation of the Pound, British sugar beet producers will go to the...

    we are already a vassal of the USA on foreign policy. The vassalage is called 'special relationship'.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Philip Hammond illustrates the problem that remainer MPs have, they want to reverse brexit while pretending they want to stop Bojo's no deal brexit. Same with the 'people's vote' campaign. They should say clearly that they don't want brexit. The message is confusing, giving the impression that...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    unfortunately, as protest goes, blocking port traffic is not illegal. Do you remember when truck drivers blocked traffic to and from the refineries back in 2000?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't know if we are on the same page. Brexit is hijacked by those who want no import tariffs. However, there is no better deal than what TM has negotiated. Remainers may not be able to stop brexit, soft brexiters may not be able to stop no deal but the 16 millions who voted for remain won't...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    there is a big difference between stopping brexit (Greens & Libdems remain) and stopping no deal brexit (Corbyn's approach). Bojo has managed incredibly to bring some soft brexiters to his camp by setting a date as a rallying point and branding MPs 'the elites' (which has some truth) while...

    the right wing press does their owners' bidding but fake news is fake news, 'alternative facts' as they like to call it. By this time next year, we'll have found out the cost of brexit.

    Help! geared front hub motor recommendations

    torque figures are usually quite misleading because they are quoted without context. Torque depends on these two factors: current and RPM. Without these two numbers, it cannot be verified. In practice, the only time you need to have the maximum torque is when you climb a steep hill. I always...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    their fishermen will block the port if Bojo takes us out on no deal brexit. Belgian fishermen and Dutch fishermen will do same. See how long Bojo will resist phoning a friend. That is if he has any in Europe. Bojo may beat remainer MPs but reality will tie his hands better than any legislation.

    Help! geared front hub motor recommendations

    We'll keep in stock the Aikema 85R (cassette version of the 85SX). The 1.7kg Aikema 85R (rear) (or 85SX front) is good for building lightest pedelecs such as the new Karoo. They are driven by 15A Lishui controllers. All the other motors are heavier. The general rule is the heavier they are, the...

    Help! geared front hub motor recommendations

    If weight is most important, the Aikema 85SX weighs 1.7kgs but you get about 29NM-30NM with a 15A controller. I would suggest the XF07, 2.8kg, you get about 35NM. The main problem is the weight of the battery. If you want 15A controller, you need to find a 36V 8AH-10AH battery.

    the market prices in no deal brexit but I guess Bojo needs only to deliver brexit, the no deal status won't last long. parliament will accept a deal or require fresh GE as soon as November.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    if the Pound goes that way, I think brexit would be abandoned well before reaching parity with the Euro or the USD. People are willing to put up a bit to see how things pan out but they don't want their money losing its value to that extend or a hundred thousand job losses.
