I'm a very low user in retirement, 8000 miles in seven years on my last car, so obviously an e-car isn't an economic choice. As I posted to Andy, the instant heating, a pre-heating timer, heated steering wheel and heated seats were important factors for me, making the Leaf a comfort choice...

Come on! You can do overnight charges and you're not doing 1000 miles a day! I bet 90% of drivers never need more than a 240 mile range and that's increasingly available. She's like me then, I have Raynaud's syndrome, losing all circulation in fingers, toes and ears in low temperatures, and...

The DfT can give such a permission for a trial. You may remember we had a DfT waiver for using 250 watt pedelecs between 13th April 2013 and 6th April 2015 while the law said 200 watts was the maximum. .

True, unless they are registered as mopeds and only used on roads. There are many killers for this attempt to legalise motorised scooters: First is that Segways are banned for public use, so there's no case for scooters. Second is that the highest motorised speed allowed on pavements is 4...

I agree with much of what you've posted, particularly on nuclear generation. However I think you are not fully up to speed with the latest cars so add these comments. The "on the run" 160 miles Summer and 130 miles winter from my 2018 Leaf is not only plenty for my purposes and for a huge...

There's no chance, too many other implications, for example the ban on Segways. .

But those of us with electric cars have smugly done away with the need for a gear changing box. That's the future. ;) .

A perfect assessment and what I've been saying about the UK's status ever since the 1950s as an under 18 teenager. Why has it taken so long for a minority of adults in this country to realise this truth when an ordinary kid recognised it and argued it over 60 years ago? It's even more...

Indeed, I almost included that bitter cold element in my post to Tillson but didn't want to overload it and detract from the most important elements: "Earlier this year, headlines claiming London’s murder rate was higher than New York City’s sent shockwaves around Britain. It followed a violent...

We can economise, after a fresh Scottish independence referendum St Andrew's saltire wouldn't be needed either. We already have the cross of St George flag so there'd be no extra expense. And the Tories would have to have a complete name change anyway, since being a conservative and unionist...

E-biking enthusiasts A to B Magazine did this and found the best results from having shed roof panels charging leisure batteries. They've covered this subject in various issues but the main one I believe was issue number 37, contents on this link They will send you the article free on...

By all means criticise Theresa May for her incompetence, I do too. But please use the facts and don't stoop to Tommie's level of exaggeration. You are right about there being an adverse effect from the police reductions, but for the wrong reason. Read on. From the 1990s to 2017, covering...

I'd award Jan Fleischhauer journalist of the year for that alone, a perfect summing up of the UK's silly self-inflicted situation. .

It's his norm. Each time I've posted him the published facts on our most recent subject he's disagreed whenever the facts don't support his jaundiced, blinkered and bigoted views. Little wonder they are unable to govern themselves, they'd argue with a mirror. .

What an idiotic proposal, handing over a well governed country to one half the size which is incapable of maintaining a government for itself, as well as being legislatively incompetent. They even think pedelecs are motorbikes! .

You are the one who should stick to facts, especially in this area where you know so little. Exactly as I said, selective propaganda. It's November Tommie, not March. Why do you think that particular month was chosen? It was because year on year 2016 to 2017 the growth in murders was only...

Those Met figures are year on year, 2018 -2017, the latter higher figure being well below previous totals. For the facts just look at the figures I posted for you, they came from the Met. The rest is selective specifics. The Met have been doing this for a while now ever since the new...

Lithium rechargeable cells should never be fully discharged, it can destroy them. What's meant by fully discharging is using them until the low voltage cutoff of the bike, which occurs at about 3.15 volts per cell. .

Utter rubbish, you really are bonkers! I do in some of those places since I have friends I visit in Brixton, Peckham and Bermondsey and I would be happy to walk in Tottenham or Edmonton. I was born in London, live in London and there isn't a single part of London I'd be scared to visit...
