    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'n not so sure, consider these factors: Over three quarters of MPs are not only very strongly against No Deal but also scared of the prospect and its consequences. Although the country is evenly divided on Brexit, polls show two thirds are firmly against No Deal, since even Leave promised...

    At 55, if he lays off the beer he could well see us rejoin the EU and realise what a wasted and worthless life he's had. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You started well, but it gradually went downhill from there. The last phrase is obviously wrong: The public are never happy with any government, they just have changing degrees of dissatisfaction. And none of us live ever after. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Still on the theme of political failure, I've just been listening to a radio program on devolution. In it a Northern Ireland politician said this about Stormont's Northern Ireland Assembly "The big advantage of power sharing is that it delivers a continuity that other democratic systems don't...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Remember what she kept promising when she first took the reins after wrecking the Home Office: "Strong and stable government". Instead she's delivered the most chaotic government in memory. A film biopic of her life might best be made by Hammer Films. .

    Oh I don't know about that. Black seems perfectly suited to a slowly dying country. .

    Battery Charger

    Hi Irene, is it one of the Panasonic unit powered Agattu models with five connection slots under the battery? If so your charger will look like this one: If so Panasonic could supply you with one through one of their dealers. In the first instance you can contact Panasonic Europe E-bikes...

    Help! Giant Fathom 2 2019 - Unrestriction via magnet move

    I don't know your model, but manufacturers are now being required to include anti-defeat software to prevent changes to the legality. It may be that now you've tried it's recorded that so the maker or dealer sees the evidence. You could try fine adjustments to the magnet position, but if that...

    DIY Mechanical Dongle

    Indeed, and not uncommon. Our original UK e-bike law used to have a maximum assist speed of 12 mph. And Honda once again made the beautiful little folding e-bike below from early in this millennium. It was the Honda Step Compo model and its maximum motor driven speed was about 12 mph:

    Not if the resulting pedelec construction and provisions comply with the exemption conditions from needing type approval. That is: Motor rating is at or below 250 watts. Assist power only available when pedalling. Power phases down and then cuts out before 25 kph. For machines that are not...

    Don't let that resolution diminish as you pass the pub and betting shop. ;) With the turnout so far, your vote could tip the balance. .

    DIY Mechanical Dongle

    You think that's bad. Over three years ago and before the referendum when there were lots of opinions on leaving and no facts being expressed, I posted a link to a factual radio program giving the example of how Switzerland suffered over seven years of negotiations with the EU. I didn't expect...

    Panasonic mid drive motor fuse location

    They are bottom bracket mounting though Xennon, your frame doesn't have a bottom bracket and they wont fit in the motor's very different pedalshaft housing You need a normal bike frame for them, so perhaps pick up a normal folding bike to convert. I haven't personally used either of those...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Similar for me, all alone there as a voter on this 3000 home estate. In fact the three officials were deeply engrossed in a discussion when I entered, showing how bored they were. In the long walking stretch to the polling station I saw no-one else entering, and walking back again I kept...

    Panasonic mid drive motor fuse location

    Afraid not Xennon, the extra lead is also a monitoring connection which both the unit and charger systems use. Those who've tried say they don't work without it connected. A number of makers including Panasonic design their systems to only be able to work with the correct parts from...

    Panasonic mid drive motor fuse location

    Unfortunately not Xennon, it's why you'd need the special type of battery and charger, both very expensive. They have a five blade connection system, some used in charging and a different set in riding. The unit and charger won't work without all the connections and matching components...

    That's the series 2 motor with a 9 tooth motor sprocket instead of your 14 tooth one. They usually fit in the frame mountings ok and will work similarly, but it hasn't got the sprung arm and chain idler with it and I don't know if your old unit one will fit the new unit. If it does you would...

    It's as vfr400 says on your post. I was tempted to suggest it would be more appropriate to delete all the posts other than yours on the modification, but it would be unfair to delete queries on its status since you'd raised the subject. There's a parallel with the helmet wearing debate...
