A correction, the Stromer ST3 is NOT a speed pedelec, since it has an 820 watt power rating. The limit for the S-Class speed pedelecs where they are legal is 500 watts. Its legal class is as an L1e-B moped, requiring all the usual moped bureacracy with one of the following driving licence...

It's only a difficult subject because they make it so by seeking an unfair advantage for their "side" by trying to control other's free speech, rather than being impartial. It's easy to be impartially fair, as I was in mentioning the West Bank abuse, without including the contentious Gaza...

Being pro-Palestinian, passively or actively, isn't anti-semitic. It's an honourable defence of a people who are being cruelly abused by military force and theft of their land and freedoms in their own land of the West Bank. Two United Nations resolutions which Israel has ignored say as much. .

Totally agree, this whole episode of accusing the Labour party of anti-semitism is contrived nonsense. It all arose from Labour rightly objecting to the full form of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of anti-semitism which is plainly wrong, since it seeks to...

True, but very short term, as UKIP's collapse shows. The former SDP and SDLP disappeared quickly in the same way. Until we get proportional representation I think we are stuck with a choice of left or right where electability to government is concerned. .

There's two major flaws in this book. The first is that disruption prevents the money makers achieving their ends. Their earnings depend heavily on highly organised, time accurate, dependable systems of crop growing, mining earth resources, manufacturing and logistics. The current Brexit...

Definitely optimistic. We've got the centre-ground LibDems and the people don't vote for them. Nor did they for the former Liberals, the SDP or the SDLP. And after they'd eventually elected one without realising it, Blair's New Labour centre-right, they threw them out once they'd woke up to...

Where? I can't see any post about this from him, above or in the Brexit thread. What's New and New Posts don't show the Brexit thread. .

Of course, at least £11 billions are legal liabilities. .

As said above, I think that might be deliberate. I noticed in some cycling sites that this pedelecs site was getting slagged off as useless, due to some coming in and immediately seeing the Brexit thread at the top every time. It was clearly giving a very bad impression to first timers...

Same here, the Brexit thread is no longer shown in New Posts. I'm guessing the administrators might have fixed it that way, since there was bad publicity about it reflecting poorly on pedelecs.co.uk. .

I entered a reply on your other thread Paul: Here's the link to it .

The Xion hub motor only appeared in your Kalkhoff model here in Britain so not much is known about it, other than it seems to have quite complex software. There is a software tuning kit from Germany where there's most knowledge on this motor, but it's a very expensive solution, especially if it...

True for all of us I think. .

Agreed, they expect us to blink and sign the deal but aren't concerned if we crash out. They know we'll be back almost immediately wanting to, having to, renegotiate. .

I wonder if the UK designer was an immigrant? :) .

It looks like the driver didn't expect you to be going so fast, they tend to think in terms of bicycles being slow. .

maundering talk in a rambling manner. .

Thanks Shemozzle. Nothing good for us it seems, still arguing about four times power levels, still bad news for throttles, and the threat of S-class pedelecs being classified as L1e-B. That's logical but very unwelcome. However we're likely to be out of these regulations shortly and have no...

Your approach is sensible in my view Falesh. For the reasons I've posted above, pedelec law is never going to be changed, but there's no reason why there shouldn't be a motability style exclusion allowing full throttles for disability. Alternatively just use anyway as AK has said above...
