Tonight of BBC Radio there's a program titled "In Search of Sovereignty", presented by American satirist Joe Queenan. Should be fun! It's on Radio 4 at 8pm and repeated on Wednesday at 11am. Alternatively one can listen at any time after tonight's broadcast on the BBC i-player on this link .

Changing the motor I'm sure wouldn't have solved the problem. As Neale has posted they are pretty much bomb proof after nearly two decades of refinement. It's more likely to be a controller problem, especially as it seems Suntour have created their own unique system and this happens on a few...

I gathered that was a possibility from Rick's posts. If a motor without a freewheel, i.e. always engaged had it's controller phase wiring faulty it could produce that effect when pedalling triggered the controller. That's because in a different phase wiring mode the motor can act as an...

The logic is that it's left you and everyone else with no idea of what he wants or intends. As I've said before, that is intentional, since knowing what he stands for will lose some of his current support. If he's pro remain, it could lose him the many normally Labour supporting workers who...

The spoke magnet method of speed control is generally used with crank drive motor units since their gearing can be changed to defeat the limit. The Eagle uses a hub motor, the rotation speed set by the controller, and therefore the road speed. Some of these have a wire loop restricting link...

We have no option but to accept the continuing rulings of the ECJ, since that is written into so many of the EU originated laws that we have on the statute book and which are being sealed into place by the Great Repeal Bill. Accordingly any attempt to differentiate just for Brexit bill issues...

I suggested that in this post, but as I observed there, Rick (and Mike since) say theirs spin freely by hand with the wheel lifted off the ground, even when the drag is happening. That would rule out the freewheel. In any case this is a standard Bafang motor and freewheel jam was something...

I know that this is quite common, many have very variable heart rates. I wouldn't worry about it in the context of what I posted though, I meant for an extended lifespan above the norm, such as the centenarians. If I'm right I could still could posting here in 18 years time! :eek: I wonder if...

A bit different for me, since I first bought one to help climbing hills when towing big trailer loads. Fast fun came later with a second bike that had no 15 mph cutoff, but I eventually settled for being happy with the legal assist speed. .

Of course, only while we are still technically in could article 50's intentions be cancelled by bending the rules. Once we've actually finally left we could only be a member again by applying for membership and accepting all the conditions. .

That's because they know a second referendum would undoubtedly have a Remain result with a far more substantial margin than the Leave one last time. .

But I'm quite certain the EU would be happy, indeed delighted, to cancel our departure by bending the rules if necessary, since it's as much in their interests as ours. The political kudos for the EU in restraining others who are restless will be too valuable to turn down. We'd lose the prior...

I think Eddie means a bike with 36" wheels each end in a 24" frame. It would give a smooth ride on a bouncy surface. :) .

That's when riding. If it was when sitting on the sofa I'd be very concerned for you! When still fully cycling fit and riding unpowered in my mid sixties, after a climb to the top of the North Downs I'd reach 150 bpm peak, quickly dropping when stopped to my usual slow 48 bpm at that time...

The comments were far from favourable overall, the usual anti e-bike views apparent. In my case, switching from unpowered cycling into e-biking in later years led to me losing my cycling fitness, but of course impossible to say how much of that was due to the assistance and how much due to...

I don't know. I suppose there must be some advantage in http over https or everyone would run secure. The free web site facilities that our ISPs offer are always insecure. The below copied from the web: "This involves the use of an SSL certificate -- "SSL" stands for secure sockets layer...

It simply means it's a normal http web site like so many others, not an https secure web site. https sites are usually such as banks, those involving financial transactions like traders or handling sensitive information, like your doctor's one for example. But using examples I know where those...

I won't tear your view to pieces, since I also recognise all the many faults of the EU which I'd rather be without. Unfortunately I also recognise those of our governments which have been far worse for the individual than anything the EU did. I don't understand the dislike of the two European...

Yes I understand May's position, and that of the EU. But that doesn't make our getting CETA membership cut and dried, let alone CETA+. Canada has a say in that, even assuming the ECJ don't throw a spanner in the CETA works. Whatever happens in the end, May will be a loser, historically a...

But we don't know if we can even have CETA, even in the EU it's only provisional while the ECJ examine it on Belgium's request. I've seen no guarantee from Canada that we can be a CETA member and can envisage the EU being opposed if we hard exit. If either of them says no, we're out. .
