    Eligible Electric Bike Manufacturers and Suppliers Should Have 8 Features

    Thats's amusing. I was riding bikes from 1946, in the trade fitting them with motors from 1950 on and have ridden every style and size of bicycle and pedelec there has been, both electric and petrol powered. There is nothing new about your little pedelec, it's all been done before, often very...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Exactly what OG and I have been saying for a long time, her deal will probably be accepted in the end. Not because we like it, we don't, but because there's little other choice. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Hardly his fault, five of the posts were responses to attacks and the others commenting on the attacks. Simple answer to those ganging up, stop attacking at every imagined opportunity. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I read it immediately after he posted it and didn't see any distortion or attempt at it. The meaning was absolutely clear. And he linked to the article so it could be seen in it's entirety, enabling me to read it all. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Second time you've posted this and it simply isn't true. In this thread before the referendum and against almost all other opinion, OG insisted Leave would win. And that original thought of his was right. More recently he is saying that May's Deal would probably still get though eventually...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    OG did not lie, you simply completely misread his post. I read it long before you and it was abundantly clear that he was quoting a part of a Guardian article without attempting in any way to distort. I listened to both those EU parliament speeches and the Guardian reported them accurately in...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But was it that way round, it could have been this way: Ring, ring. Hello Theresa, Arlene here. You know we're a bit short of cash in the province, if you promise to help us out with something of substance, I'm sure we could see our way clear to support you in a new government, though we do...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No, they couldn't refuse to concede without ending that government, which was the only option at the time. They entered a coalition and had to chose which policies to abandon, just as the Tories had to as well. But the latter didn't get attacked for it, strange don't you think? To me is isn't...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not an acceptable one, but the one that is unacceptable in most views can and has worked for long periods. All depends on how much of a price is paid for stability. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No it isn't, they had to concede on either HoL reform or tuition fees, they couldn't have both. Whether they chose the wrong way in your opinion is another matter, but they had the elected right to chose. These comments by a Green party member are aposite: "This is so bizarre to me. The Lib...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not so, they were not holding the reins in the coalition so had to conceded many of their manifesto items, as did the Tories then. Whatever they chose to concede would result in criticism That's the price of coalition and it was and still is unfair to either party to attack them on that basis. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's unfair to the LibDems. They campaigned as a Remain party in the GE and have never changed that position since. They therefore represented over 48% of the population and quite possibly over half the electorate now, as you yourself have acknowledged. Being sensible for the Remain...

    Come off it. Since the meaningful January vote on May's deal you've posted 630 times in 54 days, one of the highest rates of posting by anyone in the whole forum in that period. .

    China has adopted our law which has for many years restricted assist speed to 25 kph and kept voltages low. But you can forget little bikes like that one, we've had them for years and they have only a tiny part of the market.. They're not what is wanted by most people who prefer full size...

    I think that's probably true, but it needs a new referendum to implement that. That could be the sensible option now. .
