we also need a deal for services. If brexit is left to the brexters in the cabinet, it is not going to happen.

TM is known for u-turns. The fact that she takes charge personally of brexit is a good thing, the Pound rose on the news more than 1%. The problem with hard brexit is that it sounds good and plausible on paper but when confronted by reality, it's such a huge task to do just as well or only...

Has TM realised that Raab is no more clued up on EU matter than his predecessor and mentor, David Davis? In the news: "The prime minister announced she would now lead the crunch talks with the EU while Dominic Raab, who was appointed two weeks ago, would be left in charge of domestic...

Although I read somewhere that it is illegal putting an e-bike on a roof rack, I did try it today. It was very, very hard to lift an e-bike, with or without battery, high enough to go on the roof rack. Please don't try.

don't worry about Lansdown Hill it's 12.7 degrees gradient at its steepest section. The Oxygen will climb that one and so will all my bikes.

fair comment. But with your budget, you could probably buy a bike for off roading and convert a second hand one for commuting. Let me be candid about a frequent issue with commuters: a lot of you derestrict your bikes to save time. crank drive bikes suffer a lot when derestricted because they...

I would say a geared hub bike is more practical and cost effective for commuting. After all, a hub bike will still get you home even if the chain breaks. There are plenty of choices in style, comfort, power, range to suit your requirements and almost all will fit snuggly within your generous...

JC said: "It must be our job in government to reprogramme our economy so that it stops working for the few and begins working for the many. " is it not the hard brexit's vision of sunlit uplands? and how is JC's wing of labour (Momentum) going to deliver it? Most of the clever people work for...

tear it up and start again?

does it apply to brexit?

'gutsy' is usually the result of high torque, high acceleration. the Oxygen's motor has winding code 12, designed for 24mph but at that speed, there is not much torque because the limiting factor is the controller, only rated 14A-15A. My Woosh Rio for example has winding code 13, slower but...

my containers from China got pulled for inspection only three times in 8 years.

22mph on flat roads is a piece of cake for the Oxygen if you derestrict it. Hill climbing performance is different. There, the CX should win.

I am well aware of the benefit of the current system, I wanted to setup Woosh in France and have been looking into these issues for a long time. If I could find someone like d8veh to do my job, I'd be in France by the end of the month.

it's money for old ropes. I don't have to do anything myself, just pay bills.

in or out, they do that by sampling anyway. Most shipments are cleared customs up to 1 day in advance. If I remember correctly, about 7% of containers/lorries are pulled for inspection to check that the declaration is accurate. If there is a long queue, they simply pull fewer containers/lorries.

so you think they are going to hold up the lorry while testing samples for GM traces? Of course not. the real difficulty is for the long term when the UK has built up sufficient trade to seriously reduce purchasing from the EU27. In the short term, it's just a political agenda. The EU's agenda...

I am not particularly worried about deficit of democracy in the EU - I am worried about the EU seeking to increase its field of competence into regulating most aspects of our life, thus removing accountability from people we elect directly. They just use the EU as excuse for anything that goes...

I know that. The point is, if I want to sell a kit (for the Brompton) with a custom battery, I have to get the battery tested for all the regulations listed above. It is a sizeable investment. You are looking at at least £10k in fees, £15k to be realistic, on top of tooling costs. I approached a...

Is it the best of 'No deal brexit' visions? I certainly do not want them to turn this country into a lawless, no regulation, no control, the Wild West of Europe.
