As others have already commented, it's a two way story, we've also greatly benefited. Just compare the stability of now with the decline into non-existence of both manufacturing and commerce up to 1972 when all our major industries disappeared. Remember the IMF had to take over the running of...

It's what happens when a sports car company make an electric bike! .

I don't think I'd have much faith in a doctor who was also the local funeral director. .

Fine, but not when "not proven" is quoted as evidence of harm. Then it's merely innuendo. Personally I think the safe case is well proven, human lifetimes lived in supposedly lethally dangerous levels of radiation, eating only foods grown in that heavily radiated area while giving birth to and...

Are these big enough?

I fully agree with your last paragraph but you are mixing up two different things. Just because our scientists, and indeed America's too, have done some things without thinking them through doesn't mean they were always dangerous. Most weren't. In the course of their mistakes some places on...

But that's not harmful, the air pollution is. .

The photo I posted above of the Crosscity's handlebars looks like it also has that end plug. If so, with that pulled out, a mirror will plug straight in. .

Here's a photo of the Crosscity's bars and grips: Helen, you can still fit a normal bar end mirror since they always require cutting off/cutting out the end piece of the right grip to fit the mirror mount into the handlebar end. You can use a craft knife to do that. Your handlebar is probably...

These have sometimes been what comes with a trailer, but meant for normal unpowered bikes with rim brakes. Disc and other hub mounted brakes and rear hub motors present all sorts of problems for low mounted trailer hitches. On two of my bikes I devised rear ball joints with both my trailers...

No, we've had none of those, they are your Brexiter exaggerations. trying to discredit Remainers with lies. .

It was there but has now gone. We've had some odd occurrences before with these, so possibly one of those. .

In Britain I'm afraid we are at least a million e-bikes short of having facilities like these. Our circa 200,000 of many different often lightly used makes are too thinly spread for it. This might become useful for those who'd like to tour parts of the continent with their Bosch powered bike...

If you have a pair of strong fairly thick nose taper pliers, open them and put the thick points into the two slots. The place a tommy bar like a socket set one across the plier handles, above one side and below the other, and use the leverage of that to try and turn to undo the collar. If...

Halfords must be quite used to these e-bike problems since they've had plenty. Instead of doing the sensible thing and seeking advice from those who knew the business they did their own thing, getting it repeatedly wrong. Their first effort was a disaster, a Carrera branded bike with the long...

The Suntour HESC system also uses a Bafang motor. .

I did wonder that, but it seems completely at odds with what they claim about no resistance to pedalling. The Bafang motor they are using is branded with their name, so my query to Suntour is whether they are using a magnetic clutch in it, in combination with a three wire sensorless phase...

This continuing story of Kallkhoff's Impulse motor syetm unreliability means they should have been withdrawn from the market long ago. They are clearly totally unfit for purpose. The suppliers excuses have gone on more than long enough, it's about time they stopped selling these otherwise very...

Better not. You know what happened to Oliver when he asked for more! .

I think the best answer is for anyone suffering this to reject the bike and demand a full refund since they are legally entitled to it. This is what Suntour say on their site about this ATS system: "If your outing takes longer than planned or if you use the bike for training purposes, with the...
