    Brexit, for once some facts.

    they do that already. If you watch the last episode of BBC Click, 5G was deployed to connect a racing car going round a track at 200mph to the computer that controls it and other cars and lorries on the same track. In the near future, that's what they'll do for driverless cars, some are local...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Google says: if we model brain as a simple neural network, then it would be equivalent to machine that performs 10^16 operations per second. They estimate that simulation of the whole human brain would require supercomputer with about 500 petabytes of memory. Current record in one system is 1.5...

    Help! Motor running but no power !

    if your clutch is OK, then your motor spins the wrong way round. It's easy to fix. If your motor is sensorless, then swapping two of the three phase wires (thick yellow/green/blue wires) going to the motor is a possibility. If it's sensorless (ie only 3 phase wires, no Hall wires), swap first...

    my Simca Aronde was blown up by my student friends on the campus so that we could watch it burn! it did save the towing fees to 'la casse'.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's good for the EU that the FN copies the brexiteers because the EU will have to deal with the subtext of those views asap. Maybe a law to deal with FB, the new empire. I think there is nil chance France leaving the EU.

    you mean the fight goes on? apparently, TM is going to resign in April or May after delivering the first phase of brexit and Boris Johnson is ahead in replacing her. The other two candidates are Gove and Hunt. Now, who wants to move to Spain?

    we are all used to that. Didn't I say my bikes are the best?

    Throttles allowed?

    you said that if the bike is 1kg lighter, you can go up 1% steeper hill so 5kgs lighter = 5% steeper hill, eg from 15% to 20% which cannot be done by removing 5kgs. You'll need more power, removing weight is not enough. 5% weight reduction on a bike capable of 15% can only make it go up 15.8%...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    buying votes is expensive business, FB has made it much cheaper because you can microtarget but at the end of the day, winning votes need solid financial backing. If you take the last US presidential election, both parties spent 6.5 billions dollars on 253 million voters, the spend per voter is...

    L1e-A testing requirements

    I have not found any published documents from the DfT regarding Class 250W LPM other than from the MSVA (Motorcycle Single Vehicle Approval) manual. Until the government publishes - how are people supposed to know changes in the rules? Also, what happens to all the existing bikes with throttle...

    it's like one of those links that bring to your computer encryption viruses. it worked before, it still works now and will work again. The reason: not many people suspect a lie when it's framed with pretty graphics or sounds plausible.

    L1e-A testing requirements

    one way to find out if the DfT have changed the rules is to ask them the same question. I note that the testing guidelines mentioned that the definition of 250W LPM Class is added in January 2019...

    google still has the page: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/dft-pedal-cycles-converted-twist-go-exempt-type-approval/ Updated on Feb 18, 2019 at 4:00 PM The Department for Transport has today confirmed to Pedelecs that an ordinary cycle, already ridden on public roads as such and subsequently...

    L1e-A testing requirements

    there have been cases where the police is not interested in enforcing this sort of regulations. I assume one way to figure it out is for pedelecs to ask the DfT to confirm if they still are not interested in going after the users. I have also never heard of anyone being stopped by the police...
