    Brexit, for once some facts.

    when I think about possible economic gains if we leave, I can cite a few: - we need a degree of statism. - we need to tailor external tariffs to suit ourselves rather than the EU28. - we need the ability to control direct foreign investment. At the moment, there is none inside the EU28. Some...

    Totally newbie looking for advice

    If the terrain is rough, you will need to strap the battery to the downtube, it's a question of prevention. If you convert with a hub motor, you need to pay attention to tyre and pressure. A crank drive conversion is probably more suitable for MTB terrains.

    Tried 4 ebikes recently - Van Moof, Haibike, Lime e bike, Uber e bike - only liked one

    I often sell Karoos to deliveroos who clock up incredible number of miles in a month, leave alone years. Take a look, do you see any Bosch motors on deliveroos' e-bikes?

    Woosh Scirocco noisy

    the Sirocco needs brake cutout switches. It's not kind to the motor and the brake pads if you don't fit them. BB5 and BB7 are good. The efficiency of the brakes is proportional to the pads surface. Brakes with larger pads (Avid BB7 uses larger rectangular pads) are better than those that use...

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    WTO would be best for us, surely? Chinese bikes are taxed the same as German bikes! Now that's a thought!

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    Ronald Reagan once said: 'if you are explaining, you are losing' (or when you are explaining, you are losing). voters aren't interested in those who try to explain because that implies they don't understand the argument.

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    we have just got a £13k refund cheque from the EU via HMRC. As it turns out, anti dumping levies are divided into countervailing value duty and anti-dumping duty. The anti-dumping was in force since July last year but reduced when the countervailing duty was introduced, so we could claim back...

    agreed. The throttle is perfect when you do a hill start or start off from traffic lights or on the rare time when you run out of puff. Also, a lot of my customers need to be able to pedal as much or as little depending on their physical condition. Bikes fitted with a torque sensor is less...

    New wanna be owner

    15st is not over weight. May I suggest one of these 3 bikes? Santana 3, Big Bear LS and Santana CD. All three let you pedal as much or as little as you like. The Santana 3 has a high torque rear wheel motor, giving good traction and is perfect for your weight. The Big Bear LS has a high torque...

    you mean you like a cheap Chinese e-bike with a front hub motor? Then come to Southend for something even better.

    JC lost the May 2017 local elections (4 May 2017), June 2017 general election and now the EP election. People may have sympathy for the underdog.

    Very confused - Looking for an electric bike

    no, not necessarily. '350W' label means simply that the copper wire inside is beefier than one with '250W'. The climbing power comes from the controller, a 48V 15A controller pulls more than a 36V 17A controller, you multiply the voltage by the max Amps, you get the max Watts. That's what the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    we haven't left and already lost a packet. if remain wins in a new referendum, the brexit battle will not be over, Farage (or another brexiteer) will continue to occupy centre stage for years to come. What is needed is for people to see what brexit is like and decide for themselves if the cost...
