    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the parliament website is neutral. Out of 902,712 petitioners, 866,425 (96%) are from the UK, 4% are from overseas petitioners. The number of overseas petitioners (36,287 or 4%) is relatively modest. To me, there is no obvious sign of cheating...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Macron only tries to help TM by forcing the ERG and the DUP to come to a decision. If TM wins next week, then there is no reason why Macron should interfere. If Common Market 2.0 is passed, the withdrawal agreement will be passed also, there may be a revision of the political declaration but...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am pretty sure her advisers are aware of that. If her deal gets voted down, parliament will proceed to have alternatives voted on, this time with free vote, meaning any proposition with Labour and remainers backing will be passed. Let's say either Common Market 2.0 or Kyle Wilson get passed...

    this section of the forum is for road legal kits. If you want to talk about higher powered kits, it should really be posted here: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/forums/speed-pedelecs-general-discussion.43/ To ride at 15mph on a flat road, you only need 200W without pedaling. That's why the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    there is always a way out for TM. I think she is pushing for a deal with JC. If she loses on Monday, there are rumours that Common Market 2.0 is going to be voted on next and it will be a free vote.

    You only have to make a bigger DYU with 16" wheels and a larger frame for Europeans. However, there are more than 1,000 e-bike brands. Taking a good slice of the market needs more work on the electrical side. The battery needs to be removable, there should be some form of suspension and think...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am willing to bet that a substantial number of leave voters don't care about trade or employment or industry. They agree with Michael Gove, they have had enough of the experts.

    that's why we have forums like this one to discuss the technical merits of e-bike designs. We all welcome innovation but it's very difficult to shrink the size and weight of e-bikes.

    small e-scooters are illegal in the EU. Do you remember these self leveling 'hoverboard' scooters? They got banned after the initial craze. The total number of e-bike sold in the EU is more than 2 millions a year. 50,000 initial sales is not a big percentage.

    scooters can have smaller wheels because the wheels are much heavier, storing higher rotational inertia and angular momentum to keep the vehicle upright. Too much angular momentum is not good for turning, that's why there is a n optimum wheel size depending on the height of the rider, total...

    a little help for TM to concentrate the mind of the ERG and DUP. if TM fails to get her deal though, she will have to cancel A50 or ask for a long extension.

    they can't get the street price down to that level, even if they assemble in Cambodia. There is only a tiny saving on producing something like the DYU compared to some small 20" folding e-bikes that you find in supermarkets or like this one from Halfords...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Macron's veto helps TM deal with opposition from her own party. Next week's vote will be her last attempt to get her deal through. If she fails, brexit may have to be cancelled.

    Hi Dirk, I would recommend the XF08C kit for your GT. You should also consider buying a new 7-speed cassette, something like the Shimano CS GH41 11T-28T (about £9) which is much better to ride on electric than your old 14T-34T...

    the Brompton has 16" wheels, hub gears, a steel frame and fork that gives a little flex to cushion the roads and also a small rubber spring. My Gallego also has 16" wheels, hubgears and neoprene spring to cushion the roads. In practice, 16" wheels seem to be the minimum wheel size for bikes...
