The rise of what you might regard as 'disturbing' right wing parties is greatly eased by PR. In the UK system, it is VERY VERY hard for an insurgent party to get seats in Parliament in any numbers. You don't just need abig chunk of the vote in general, you only get a seat if you win in each...

It's great to read a report like this which systematically records the process of a repair. This will likely be very useful for others in the future faced with similar problems.

I think that behind the scenes there is a vast amount of complex work going on in just about every enterprise servicing the public, to ensure standardisation of products and quality. Most people never give that sort of thing a second thought and a lot of people think of themselves as being of a...

Yesterday I was watching a video by some Swedish Adventure bike riders who were riding in Northern England and Scotland, and they came across our very own member Matthew Slack with his remarkable solar electric charging trailer. It was June 2024 and Matthew was camping by the shore of Loch Ness...

3Kw? I'd have thought this would suit you much better and it would most likely cost you a hell of a lot less. What is more, nobody is going to take it off you and crush it. New price under £1900, 125 miles to the gallon and about 8.3 kw. You can ride it all day at 55mph.

The 20" part means the wheel is 20 inch, nothing to do with amps. The other photo contains the necessary information confirming that the motor complies with UK law for use as a bicycle on the roads - EN15914 standard from 2017, and specifies the maximum continuous power output of the motor -...

My take on this is that the 70km/ hour new top speed would be extremely dangerous on a normal bicycle frame and running gear. The engineers who designed the frame and the brakes, wheels and tyres were working on the basis that the bike might achieve about half that speed. 70 kph is light...

Ha ha ha - no you didn't. You hadn't made any remark on this thread for three weeks and then came in after my post and said: "Extremists are easily offended. Desperate to find offence." Then you persisted with more of a similar vein, but no matter. I'll just put you on ignore from now on. I...

That's funny. You just made several posts calling people here 'extremists' because their opinions differ from yours, and now you call me 'insulting' after several jibes from you, which I ignored, for pointing out, that what you wrote was incomprehensible - which it certainly was.

Are you writing in code? I think we should be told, but preferably by someone who can write in English. By the way - of the posts I have looked at of yours, this is one of the most detailed. Mostly, your posts are nasty snipes about five or six words long. I understand the beginning and end...

Yes - you are right about both points. I was interested in the ability to rectify faults rather than either dump the whole thing, or undertake a delicate dismantling of welded nickle strip and fragile cell tops. I don't need a battery now though, so the whole idea is just speculative and to see...

I've seen this business before and always thought it was a good idea if the implementation could be made properly, so that it actually worked. I did wonder if the connections between the cells would be adequate though. The article and the Goache website refer to large numbers of battery kits...

Don't click on it. Its that easy. I just put the 'Spammer in Chief' on Ignore. This thread loads instantly now because my browser is not trying to cache all the spam videos about American politics. I also won't be tempted to click on the depressing thread about e-bike fires, or the one about...

Yes ! Screeds of identical Youtube videos posted every day by the same individual without any kind of comment about them. If you trouble to look at them, they are pretty much identical. WHY are they there? When you open the thread it takes an interminable time to load - I'm not sure why...
