    Brexit, for once some facts.

    they may make her sweat a bit before agreeing. I have a feeling that 3 month extension won't hack it.

    it's difficult to see where it would sit. On the portable side, you have those Xiaomi Lime scooters as seen in Paris, they are lightweight and small enough to be taken into Paris metro but if you see how the youths ride them in Paris, it's just accidents waiting to happen. The DYU beats the...

    These 'smart' functions are available on controllers fitted with 6-axis gyro chip. I posted about them last year but consider them not quite matured. The Gallego has Bafang geared hub motor which has clutch and is much better at climbing hills, larger16" wheels, 3-speed Shimano hub gear and it...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    they like whipping up resentment at the Daily Express. The logic is simple: if there are enough MPs to support her deal, then the same MPs can ask Bercow to allow the vote. Bercow only stops tentative canvassing.

    yes, for a short period in time, maybe 3-5 months before my competitors bring in new shipments assembled in China. Sooner rather later, I will be forced to do same, buy from China fully assembled and cut back on my wage bills. In fact, the next day the tariff is official, I'll have to tell the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    half of that money pays for labour in assembling Chinese bikes in Southend on Sea. If we brexit with no deal, I will have to cut the price to be competitive and stop assembling bikes in Southend on Sea because my competitors will buy bikes assembled in China. Guess who will be losing out?

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-47618566 Here is the relevant commandment from Erskine May aka the parliamentary bible: "A motion or an amendment which is the same, in substance, as a question which has been decided during a session, may not be brought forward again during that same...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    if she does a deal with JC, her motion is very different in nature, it's not the same deal, so Bercow has no ground to oppose. At the same time, if Kyle Wilson's amendment gets approved this Wednesday, the ERG will seriously worry.

    Bercow does TM a favour. She must be fed up by now with the ERG's and DUP's tactics of blackmail. She can now tell them to put up or shut up and vote for her deal because the alternative is Corbyn's deal and confirmatory vote.

    Agreed. The OP's DYU has 14" fat tyre wheels which make the bike look like a moped. Another issue is the direct drive motor, totally unsuitable for pedaling without power.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Rees-Mogg says he and ERG colleagues will back May's deal if they conclude no-deal Brexit no longer possible. He still needs TM to spell it out. We may see MV3 tomorrow but I still think she will still lose by 40-50. After that, Labour will table Kyle Wilson's amendment. Brexit may not happen...

    erm.. I am one of them. I'd rather potter in the workshop doing something useful and I didn't even vote for brexit.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    until now, our government relies on immigrants to increase GDP. If you hide the real number, you can have improvement of productivity (productivity = GDP/population). Of course there is no free lunch, the day of reckoning was the referendum. Once you stop immigrants from coming, they have to get...

    small correction, the 9kg is the weight of the CF bike without motor but with hub gears. By the time you add battery and motor, it will be about 13kgs. It's just about the weight that most people can carry.

    the Gallego weighs about the same as yours (18kgs), the new model in blue only 15kgs because it has a smaller battery (6AH) and the Go-cycle 16kgs. All have alluminium alloy frames. I can't comment on beauty. I was going to build an electric folding bike from a 9kg CF folding bike made in SHZ...

    Ask proper leavers. I am for soft brexit. I suppose with the same old methods: education, training, robotising industries.. if they all fail, force prisoners and benefit claimaints to enroll in volunteering.

    all the bikes I gave as examples can be folded. This is a requirement to take them into London underground or Paris Metro etc. Furthermore, folded, they can be tucked under a desk. They can also too be ridden without power, without ergonomic issue like bottom bracket height, crank length, front...

    TM will have to open up the discussion on extending A50. She will be forced to accept JC's offer of support against his demand for a confirmatory referendum.
