    Pending AK coming in, it's Spain. There's no need to wear helmets there in urban areas, but outside them on main roads they are compulsory for cyclists. .

    Spare charger purchase

    Often there's no sensible reason, other than making their charger the one you are likely to buy if you want a replacement or extra one. Lots of makers do this with anything from 3 pin to 7 pin connectors. In some cases though there is a reason, the charge connector also incorporating the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm not concerned about this since it will probably backfire on Banks. His aggressive manner in arguing his position really does him no favours. He's another one like Philip Green, thinking aggressive bluster best when in fact it just makes their image worse. .

    Derestricted or legal

    Indeed, Italy hasn't had much success with e-bikes, models and prototypes appear regulary but quickly disappear. Aprilia in particular have had a number of attempts, the a prototype in 2001 being this hydrogen fuel cell model. They followed that in 2004 with this battery model weighing 29...

    Exactly, as I posted, riskier forms of riding. Could be fast road riding, MTB off-road or just taking risks due to the nature of the rider. As also posted, utility riders are less likely to wear helmets but rarely suffer head injuries, no doubt due to riding more moderately. It's back to my...

    Results of cycling accident

    One data collection showed 71% of cyclist head injury arrivals at A & Es were wearing helmets, far higher than the proportion of cyclists that wear them. That at least indicates riskier forms of riding by the helmet wearers. And two years after the seat belt compulsion in the UK, the...

    Maybe because they are more noticeable. Here in London TfL did as survey a few years ago which showed 27% wearing helmets. There's various data since showing a lot of growth in that, mainly due to cycle commuting growth, so it's probably well over 50% now. There's big differences for...

    wisper batteries

    Ask David Miall the supplier for information: david@amps.bike This type of battery usually shuts down its BMS after about 2 weeks idle. Then plugging in to do a recharge normally wakes them up again. .

    This one charges as you pedal

    Not at all. What sent it up to speed that it braked from? Pedal drive on bikes, petrol drive in so-called hybrid cars. The same goes for downhill regen, what got them up the hill in the first place? Ultimately in non-plug ins, the electricity only comes from the main energy input, be it...

    Advice for a true 'Gentlemans' e-bike...

    Check out the options from Cube. I'm thinking of the Town Sport SL500 for both of you, with comfort bars and Bosch motors. You can see and click to view the crossbar and step-through frame choices on this link I have no connection with Cube, they are well known good quality German e-bikes. .

    This one charges as you pedal

    What can one expect when Toyota-Lexus advertise their non-plug ins as Self Charging Hybrids. They aren't even hybrids since they only use one fuel, petrol. Their electricity is only recovered from kinetic energy put in by petrol, so all the drive is by petrol. .

    Magnet adhesive

    Not one I've ever heard of. If it does turn out to be the freewheel, maybe you could post a couple of photos, the motor before stripping and the freewheel gears assembly. It may be recognised by someone then. N.B. Crossed with Woosh post above. .
