    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But as I observed above, the same consequences are easily available with conventional weapons without the risk of self harm that nuclear weapons bring. In the wars I listed we killed millions, far more than ever died at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and conventional weapons have greatly improved...

    Not as such in the UK. There was one police attempt on the basis of being over the prescribed wattage but that was killed off before it happened, something I had a part in achieving. In Guernsey in the Channel Islands there was a similar attempted prosecution of a bike shop for hiring e-bikes...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I can't agree with that, we are only able to have one sub of our four maximum on duty at any one time, and circa 16 missiles couldn't cripple Russia. They've always been sensible enough to scatter their capabilities, something that has always worried the USA strategically, and where they are...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That is supported by timings. The Japanese didn't surrender after the Hiroshima bomb on 6th August. The Nagasaki bomb followed on the 9th August, but the surrender wasn't until 15th August. So the bombs shocking devastation didn't produce any instant action on the Japanese part, it seems it...

    Battery lost capacity

    I suspect at least one cell might have failed or is failing. Failing cells can still maintain a high enough voltage to signal the 5 LED full charge, but collapse under load so not sustaining capacity. Seems like it's time for a new battery. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No longer relevant though. Times have changed and we think nothing of killing hundreds of thousands since, even millions. Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan for example. Mass killing is no longer a deterrent and it's just as easy with conventional means without risking self harm. For such...

    Ah but they were wearing helmets, and as we know from the cycle helmet wearers in here, helmets make one invulnerable. ;) .

    Derestricted or legal

    Although I didn't raise this subject, by way of explanation you did inadvertantly bring it up, since motorbikes start at 15.5 mph powered speed limit. The L1e-A moped class is for up to 1000 watt machines limited to 15.5 mph power assistance and they have to comply with all moped law...

    And they usually even have a rear number plate bracket and other necessary features for registration as a moped, such as lights and brake light. .

    Not currently British, the peculiar 15.5 mph figure is what the EU 25 kph limit converts to, since we have the EU pedelec law. Not that we're better, our own original UK e-bike law had an even more restrictive 12 mph assist limit. However, be thankful that our police don't seem to care what...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But we wouldn't be a new member if we reversed our decision during a transition period, since departure would not be complete. That leaves room for negotiation of the euro compulsion. I agree with Lamberts, the 27 would not exclude us on such a petty point, they like our market too much for...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The Sports shops have done well in recent years, taking sales from many other areas of retail, like clothing and bikes for example. It's surprising how much can be sold under the sports title. The bigger they get, the more buying power, so the bigger their margins, enabling expansion with the...

    Battery lost capacity

    Any deep discharge stresses the cells, as does the peak charge of cells at the end of charge time. Usage of the central charge volume between 20% and 80% of charge is best for long life, but that's very difficult to arrange. The most extreme example of this is in satellites using lithium...

    Sports Direct to close Evans Cycles stores in rescue deal

    I think they will close them though, all the signs are that Evans expanded too quickly in all respects. It wasn't only the increase to 50 stores but also opening a 50,000 sq.ft. distribution centre at Gatwick, then expanding that to 125,000 sq.ft. Perhaps ok during the expansion from 2 million...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Signs are that they've been in trouble for a long time. They had a store in Croydon, London's largest borough and a popular cycling area, but that had already shut down quietly some while ago. Meanwhile the very large BikePlus continued successfully as did two Halford's branches, a major...

    Kalkhoff Agattu Motor Problem?

    Yes a motor change is easy, just make sure the bolts attaching it to the frame are very tight. There are often electronic differences between models and production series so best change over the handlebar control unit as well. The chain on the Agattu might not match well to the degree of...

    Kalkhoff Agattu Motor Problem?

    A mechanical failure like a bearing or gear failing wouldn't, so investigate the other options first. The plug in connectors by the unit that connect to the control unit, unplug and replug to ensure they are connecting ok. The battery connector, is it losing connection, perhaps the contact...
