It's just the S-class high speed pedelecs (45 kph) that are banned Wendy. Here's the ruling: "In 2017 new laws for the speed pedelec were introduced. The speed pedelec is no longer classed as a light moped, but as a moped. A moped license, insurance and helmet are compulsory. Also the same...

Car drivers will love this road block - - - - - - - - - Not. :( .

Again where is the relevance, Apollo Bikes are big wheeled and totally different. .

Relevance? We are commenting for Europe, Jessejin quoted 50,000 DYUs to USA, Singapore & Thailand and none of us are arguing with that. This claim, "there is a big market in France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Poland, Germany, Netherlands etc. " and for our UK market is what we are are arguing...

Use a moped of course, you Chinese have been doing it for years and so have we. The main reason for choosing a pedelec instead of a moped is because some of us WANT to cycle using pedals, for exercise and enjoyment. Of course your DYU is a mini-moped, so it could be useful for short trips of...

I've tried several very small wheeled machines similiar to yours and disliked them all. They are all off the market now for good reasons. .

This is the reverse of the truth. The fat tyred small wheels on e-scooters are merely a continuation of them from petrol scooters, in all cases for compactness and continuing that style. And with petrol machines, the lowest powered one like the famous Honda C50, C70 and C90 machines all used...

Thanks AK, I hadn't even noticed where it was, but in fact this is 41,331, so a few more yet to reach 50k. .

She has asked for that length of extension at least, so they may choose to make it longer, which will involve us in the European Parliamentary elections. However I think they are just as fed up as us with this process and hate a No Deal prospect as much as our MPs do, so I see that as keeping...

Since you know nothing of us it seems such an opinion is very narrow minded. Of my two most recent pedelecs, the one I've used the most by far is the small wheel folding one, using it for pleasure riding, towing, shopping, goods carrying etc, so no narrow world view here. And that's the...

Theresa May has asked the EU for an extension to the end of June. Earlier comment in Europe suggests they will grant this, albeit grudgingly. .

It wasn't designed with pedals and transmission, they are an afterthought. Looking at the original link from the OP reveals photos of the original, showing that it only had footpegs as shown in the two photos below so it is a moped and not a pedelec. So it's hardly surprising that the design...

Agreed, it's all been done before and each time has failed to take the European market by storm. Most attempts with these smart features have vanished. I think it goes much further than that, the entire geometry is far too small for Europeans. That's especially true for pedelecs since the...

Of those replying to you, only Woosh is a pedelec seller, and he sells both small and big wheel machines. The rest of us are just private owners who ride them. I left the trade a very long time ago. This is why you need to learn our market! We like to pedal, much of our UK commuting is...

It seems Jessejin simply won't take notice of soundly based local knowledge, preferring his biased opinion to proper market research in Europe. So it's probably best to just let him learn his mistake the hard way. .

More than that, the two years will only be to reach leaving. Then follows the years of trade negotiations, which with the EU normally takes from 5 to 7 years. We could still be commenting in 2028, or of course we may in the end not leave and become good, well behaved Europeans instead. ;) .

You'd be a fool to bet on that! .

You're nuts! The only time I'm reminded Farage exists is when someone mentions him in here. Yesterday's men like Farage and Rees Mogg are just pathetic irrelevancies in today's world. The only wonderment for me is that they still exist. .

Where on earth do you get these weird notions? No-one opposed to Farage's opinions thinks of him in that way. We just see him as a joke, a somewhat sad and pathetic figure as he rails with futility against the EU, hence my taking the mickey out of his failed demonstrations. .

Probably due to complaints. Pedestrian complaints on pavement issues tend to be treated more seriously than cyclist's interests, perhaps understandably since pavements were for pedestrians in the first instance. Too often cyclists are their own worst enemies through riding far too fast on...
