    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Given that 56% of London's population is not white British born, and a large proportion of the white British born 44% will have foreign names like me, it's inevitable that many London MPs won't have English surnames.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Sir Philip is on the right lines. I've been following the effect of Brexit on the Crown Dependencies for some while since I was aware of their EU status. A Brexit deal could result in some of them being in impossible situations while still linked to the UK, but it's such a mess that no-one can...

    Yes, you'll soon find the optimum climb speed point. On legal 15.5 mph pedelecs it's usually at around 8 mph where the optimum coincidence of power and torque occurs. A few legal hub motor designs vary, so it can be as low as 7 mph or as high as 10 mph, but they are the exceptions. .
