    the BBS01 kit is about as powerful as the Bosch ActiveLine Plus or Shimano E6000 series. 36V controllers rating: 15A for up to 14 st (comparable to Bosch ActiveLine) 17A for up to 20 st (comparable to Bosch CX) 20A for over 20 st (comparable to Yamaha PW-X) They are the power levels that...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the DE's article contains some extra quotes from unnamed EU officials, twitter also has a few titbits like the the deal that allows Irish containers and trucks to cross the UK to Calais using existing routes. That in itself implies that there is an agreed mechanism to deal with customs checks...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's been reported on a few websites, including politico.eu and the Daily Express! https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1018586/brexit-latest-news-britain-european-union-withdrawal-agreement-irish-border...

    Derestricted or legal

    Changing the LCD setting will make the bike illegal but an having an unlocked LCD does not make the bike illegal. locking the LCD with password will be made compulsory as part of EN15194 but I believe not yet here.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    no, it doesn't. It uses the Irish border to force a 'deal or no deal' gambit in the UK instead of looking for common interests and seek to retain a close relationship. If it goes wrong, the UK will have BJ for PM. Apparently, the EU has already secretly agreed with TM a solution for the Irish...

    Derestricted or legal

    You should rename the option 'restricted' to 'legal'.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the GFA is at risk of being a collateral damage if the UK distances herself from the bloc, for example, if the UK goes for a Canada style FTA. Both governments will be forced to revise the agreement.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Michel Barnier has the easiest job in the brexit process but in the end, the ROI has a lot more to lose than the UK if the UK decides to distance herself from the bloc.

    ‘Dongle’

    I received an 'offensive language' from SW... just for the record, I have no problem accepting that riding a derestricted bike is a personal choice but promoting dongles and derestriction is not good for the forum.

    ‘Dongle’

    is it about time that posts promoting dongles and high power kits be banned from this forum?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The EU can show as much intransigeance as it likes, the inconvenient truth is there must be a deal on NI border or there is no deal and ROI will lose big time next April. When it comes to the crunch, the EU will concede.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the EU could have agreed on a time limited backstop on the question of NI border. There is no reason why it cannot be time limited, a future government in the North or in the South can modify the GFA.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    TBH, many voters just wanted out, having nothing more to do with the EU, except going on holiday or owning a second home there. Many of them are members of the conservative party. The real problem for remainers is the lack of a credible 'fantasy' about the EU. Brexiters have theirs. Said...

    that's true enough for half of the voters. The EU should have given us what DC asked so nicely!

    yes. Darwinian evolutionary theory. About that businesswoman you mentioned earlier, her job is like mine, make sure that her business adapts and survives the change. I have the EU anti-dumping levy to contend with.

    no, statistically, businesses will be slightly better off with each radical change - same with property development, you knock down an old block of flats and put in place fewer executive homes. Brexit affects mostly the largest 1% of companies.

    serious Commute -is it even possible

    the 250W is the nominal rating which guarantees that your motor won't overheat at that level of usage. You can ride the 24 miles at a reasonable average speed without breaking any law or the bank. It's the speed over the 15mph legal limit that uses a lot of battery. Speed increases air friction...

    out of fear. a lot of people are convinced that the EU is a leaky boat, that will sink with debts and refugees. They trust BJ more than Vince Cable. fear is usually illogical, so is trust.
