Not with front wheel drive, that's impossible. :confused: .

So Jo Cox wasn't murdered by a far right sympathiser? And Oswald Mosely's nazi thugs didn't beat up people who disagreed with them? Hitler and Stalin were misunderstood? Come on, shutting down free speech, if necessary by killing, is equally the aim of both far right and far left. It goes...

It's made far worse with e-cars, the fact of having maximum torque from zero revs and no gear change lag means they have phenomenal early acceleration. In urban areas I leave mine in Eco all the time since in normal mode the acceleration is embarrassing. Even in Eco mode it outruns almost...

This and your prior posts show only too clearly you are just looking for an argument. I'm not deflecting your points, just showing you why your wish will not be granted. If you can't understand that, by all means join all those before you and be disappointed at the outcome. .

I think too far away to consider at present, could well be beyond cycling age for many in here. No, I don't see many more tempted to cycle since it's far from being only about speed. There's safety and cycling vulnerability, there's the weather; rain, cold, high winds and icy roads, there's...

As 30 mph averages of course, but for reaching the limits you really have to be kidding! Many if not most car drivers often match the 20 or 30 mph speed limits and more between lights in the traffic lights grand prix. Even my Nissan Leaf e-car does 0 to 20mph in 2 seconds and 0 to 30 mph in...

So what, it doesn't alter the fact of reducing speed limits. I am aware of this, but they are changes within the overall speed limits, many reducing. However, you are arguing against yourself with this comment: "If you think the ecological predictions and responses of just 5 years ago are...

The "past" we are speaking of is all in this new millennium, most of it in this decade! E-bikes were incredibly rare beasts in Britain before year 2000. So I'm afraid the priorities you mention aren't changed and most of the decisions ruling out your suggested changes are less than 5 years...

Exactly, they are almost all illegal if the software to increase assist speed can be applied by the rider not requiring tools. .

Or Green Party, or Change UK, or SNP. They are all keen Remain parties. .

Yes, and the results not out until Monday 27th. .

Of course and I wouldn't deny it. But in doing so they all deprive the Brexit party of votes and so help the Remain supporting parties. .

I've already answered, they are illegal for the reason mentioned. I'm well aware what can be done in e-bike software and am more versed in pedelec law than anyone else in this forum. When I correct someone on this law it is not an opinion and I post the legal details why that is so. May I...

If only that was true. Unfortunately a very large number in here don't know the law, only today I've had to correct two false interpretations from experienced members. Hence the many inquiries, including in this thread, and answering them is not jumping on soap boxes. I really don't care what...

Of course, but by default it make them tactical voters. Not supporting the Brexit Party makes them enhancing the opposition Remain position. The more the vote spreads, the greater the chance that Remain parties become the majority. .

They are not keen enough on Brexit if they vote Conservative, since they know full well that many Conservative party members are remainers. If they were keen Brexiteers they'd vote for the Brexit party in the European Parliament election. .

The vehicle inspectorate's simple time over distance check. 25 instead of 15.5 mph will be very easy to detect. .

There's no question and no limit to button presses. These are not modifications, they are controls available to the rider, just like brake levers or light switches. As the DfT makes clear "strictly forbidden", that's quite emphatic. In any case, what's the point of arguing? Motor assisted...

I've never agreed with these interpretations, this is what the DfT have published on the subject in their Information Sheet on EAPCs: "However, under European law new "Twist and Go" vehicles will, from January 2016, have to meet a range of technical requirements before they can be used on...

It's inevitable that legality will always be raised, even with an interesting and excellent experiment like yours. Many are genuinely interested in what the law actually is and whether they could enjoy such options. .
