Yes, it's a daft situation that manufacturers are in with rider alterable LCDs, but it does make their pedelecs technically illegal, no longer qualifying for exemption from being motor vehicles. The DfT use the term "Off road button" to describe any method of speed alteration by the rider...

I agree, any upright trike with a rear differential should be saved, there's too few of them. Nice job you've done. Maybe JCB yellow, it deserves to be noticed. .

It is illegal to possess any fitted method under the rider's control that can increase the assist speed above 25 kph (15.5 mph), whether used or not. Such a machine is no longer an EAPC (Electric Assist Pedal Cycle) in law. It becomes a motor vehicle with all that implies. .

The MoT mentioned in those posts refer to the Ministry of Transport inspection centre to get the type approval, not an MOT test. Annual MOT tests only apply to motor vehicles, pedelecs are classified as bicycles. That's just one of many reasons, the others are as we've given. .

Yes, either should easily tip the balance to arrive at Scottish independence, and with the Welsh independence movement reinvigorated too. .

Pedelecs don't have to be MOT'd, there's no VED (road tax) and no insurance necessary. That's a lot of difference from mopeds. For most the point of electric bikes is being able to cycle or continue cycling, getting as much exercise as they need while getting help with hills and strong...

I don't know why you've posted this reply to me, I don't have any such difficulty. I'm supporting Rory Stewart who, despite having been a remainer, is insisting the referendum must be honoured. I hated the referendum result, but it was the only result. At my age it won't affect me to any...

No. If there is no such thing as No Deal, there is no such thing as No Deal law. It's just a conceit, akin to religious belief. .

Welcome to pedelecs.co.uk Calvin. .

They did otherwise, I don't think much thought came into it. .

You are mixing up two different things The deal in question is the terms of leaving the EU, a political settlement. The sale of cars is not a part of that, it's something to be discussed in the trade talks once we have a deal on departure. This order of the talks was agreed long ago in phase...

Quite the opposite. Rory answered every question put to him by Marr, immediately, calmly, positively, coherently and sensibly. As his record shows, he is someone who could and would make progress, breaking the deadlock. I'm sure I don't need to remind you what interviews with Boris Johnson...

So all of that many unfit to be PM then? .

You're very confused James. One moment you're obviously in favour as you tell me the Tory faithful will elect a popular failure like BJ in preference to a really capable person. Now you're disapproving the same masses on the other side praising another popular person you deem a failure. .

Of course, showing what a bunch of idiots they are. .

One's enough for that. After all, he's only half a person at best. .

Most seeking this option do pedal but want to be able to rest occasionally, sometimes through some disability or lack of endurance due to age. It's also handy with hub motors if one's chain breaks! And note what one member above posted about just wanting the option: "Ideally, I'd like the...

I agree with Benjahmin, the direct drive motor would be a poor choice for your need. Swapping your controller for a higher output one around 25 amps would be a much cheaper and better option if available. .

With very good cause, he is an apology of a human being with even his own immediate family highly critical of him. My post didn't praise him, merely observed the acclaim he received. He certainly isn't my choice as labour leader, but I don't get to choose so have to accept the status quo. .

I agree, it's not simple. But if anyone can get it through with some little change it's Rory Stewart. He's not just far smarter than Theresa May, he's also far more widely respected and trusted. Much as I'd like it, I don't think Leavers will be content to just walk away and let Remain win...
