    I think flecc infers that riding a bike equipped with an 'off road button' is illegal even if you don't activate this 'off road button'. I think that as long as your motor cuts out at 25kph, you don't break any law.

    the punishment should match the crime. If he had got splattered by pigeons instead of milkshake, would he have pressed charges?

    TBH, if you derestrict your bike, you make it illegal. Put a 4-digit password to lock the LCD's settings does not make it any more robust nor to make any difference.

    the hub motor's winding is usually chosen to give as much torque as possible at low revs while having the top speed cutout (also known as noload speed) above the 15mph but as close to 15mph as possible (typically 19mph). Even if the bike is derestricted, the motor power will reduce naturally...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    these numbers come from the Telegraph. They are voting intentions of those who voted for the two respective parties in 2017 for all UK. I use them to estimate the tally for brexiters versus remainers in the EP 2019 election, treating as it were a second EU referendum. On that basis, if there is...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the current polls give Farage 22 seats, he will have won more seats than Labour (17), LibDems (12), conservatives (8). Other smaller parties get 23 seats altogether. I am saying that judging by the likely result this Sunday, 'the will of the people' would be to remain by 55/45 if this election...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's not so far fetched. Conservatives and Labour polled about 36% each before Farage created the BXP. Now conservatives are down to 9%-10%, Labour down to 24% while the BXP polls about 34%. Tory voters are split at around 70% for brexit, 30% remain. It's not unreasonable to say that most of the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    let's follow the same line of thinking a bit further. If the BXP gets one third of the vote and the remainer alliance (Libdems, greens, SNP, PLAID) win more seats than the BXP, would you conclude from the result that the will of the people is to remain?

    I would have thought that everyone knows already that if you derestrict the bike, you risk having troubles with the law. My view is not 'let's do it' because it does not tamper with the bike's electronics so who is to know? it's just a potentially reliable and more elegant way to derestrict your...
