You really are a chump, I've "got it" ever since you first put your argument, but simply disagree. Why can't you understand that? And if you could read and understand you'd know I've already answered your questions. Did I not say that if the rider could alter the assist speed upper limit...

You're in Zoros. The postcode tried to dump you on the A55 dual carriageway where I doubt you'd like to be, so I've placed you on the nearby Monastery Road. E-biking certainly seems sparce up there, but of course many members don't enter the map. .

There are two laws involved here. As you say, if one doesn't exceed the assist limit the usage law of the EAPC regulations isn't breached. But if the pedelec is supplied with controls readily available to the rider which can allow it to exceed the assist limit, its construction no longer...

Nonsense from end to end. The EU for example was, as I posted,adamant about "any method". They also ruled that systems should have defeats incorporated to prevent clever methods of bypassing the restriction, hence the difficult Bosch unit. So stop trying to pretend there are degrees of...

Nor quite native. John Prescott is Welsh. His family moved from Wales to Yorkshire at first, but when John was 11 they moved to Cheshire and he completed his education in Ellesmere Port. In John's own words: "I've always felt very proud of Wales and being Welsh...I was born in Wales, went to...

Absolutely not so. Both the EU and the DfT have made it absolutely clear that any available method under the rider's control is illegal, since the pedelec itself then doesn't comply with the type approval exemption. Why is it that you cannot understand this simple concept? A pedelec has to be...

And John Prescott dealt out summary justice when it happened to him. .

I don't understand your question. My post was explaining a possible reason why he got 28 days, the age of the person he assaulted. The courts take a very dim view of attacks on the elderly. So your question was answered before you posed it. .

The forum wouldn't let me enter p¦ss in the usual way, not even with the usual substitute letter disguises. However, as you see above, I did find another way! .

A t 83 I'm not just knocking on that door, I'm almost through! Where physical assault on an elderly person is concerned I think the psychological aspects of shock are also important. Our vulnerability due to reduced self defence abilities with age can make the effect of an attack far more...

I agree, but in a world where even someone who physically assaults a police officer often doesn't get anything like six months imprisonment, a severe sentence is unlikely for someone throwing a milk shake at a fit and healthy person. If the offender has no criminal record, a fine is likely...

Which is a modification so illegal anyway, departing from the CE approval specification. Owners are caught both ways by the type approval exemption conditions. If a setting is possible with rider's button presses to increase the speed, it's illegal. If the change requires tools it's an...

Depends on the bike. Some only have rotation sensing to get the motor running so the tester could just spin without effort. Those with pedal effort torque sensing to deliver power tend to be easy to roughly detect when the power cut off occurs, certainly within about two miles an hour. It's...

No, sentences are set by the circumstances of each case. Jeremy being elderly (70 now) would be an important factor. .

Ah yes, the product of micturition. .

Living close to a large riding stables, I can vouch that here's a lot of truth in that. .

About the same time the DfT was ruling against "off road buttons", the EU were making changes outlawing any method of altering e-bike motors from the legal settings. I believe it was member shemozzle999 who posted the details on that. Bosch were the first to comply. If it's true that the...

I can already beat a Golf GTI from 0 to 50 mph so that's enough for me. Past 50 the Golf GTI will take over. .

Exactly, an illegal "off road switch" as defined by the DfT. .

I did answer the question and haven't just implied illegality. I clearly stated the illegality was definite. If the rider can change the speed limit by integral controls without using tools, the pedelec is technically illegal in Great Britain since the change is under rider control. In...
