Of course ergonomics do not come into play in car design so what do we know...

Who was it that said if you aren't part of the solution you are part of the problem? :p

Around 25 years old IIRC...

I congratulate you sir! Here it is licence for life with all that entails in NZ there are medical examinations after 65 or 70 forgotten.

Fiat 126, Panda 45S, Panda 1000 Fire, Lancia Delta (Fiat bits and bobs), Lancia Delta, Fiat Stilo, my last car (ever?). The Stilo was lots of fun "please pull off the road ASAP something is going to explode" or equivalent it kept saying - for about three years, it used to worry my young sons...

You haven't seen me on my pedelec :eek:

Well we know the alias of the director of Mercedes UK... :rolleyes: now that wasn't very Smart of me was it :D

When I was 14 I could sprint to around that speed over 100 metres, heck even over 200...

I think you are being overly pessimistic despite my having a first hand experience of British bureaucracy, indigenous and exported variety. The EU regulation is predominant (for the moment, if my reading of the news is correct...) and would always hold up in court. You could argue that the bike...

You need a new cable...

I have been wondering about my cadence not having a tool to mesure it, but going from the cadence calculator http://www.bikecalc.com/speed_at_cadence I would say sprinting about 115 and 90 at regular rate. My pedelec has helped me lose 4-5 kg and I am not far from form weight at about 77-78 kg...

Not yet I need to knuckle down and earn the spare cash... In any case I would ask them to not ship the throttle and brake levers which I don't need.

One of the things I do with my pedelec is hook up my trailer throw all the gear in and lash a few rods on top and go fishing. Today I went on foot but... fresh fish in the fridge for the first time in quite a while! :) I taught myself a new technique for me, fishing with paste. A mix of...

An electric Smart with... :eek: Oh I am in trouble now... :rolleyes:

http://www.citroen.co.uk/new-cars-and-vans/citroen-range/citroen-c-zero With the back seat folded down you could possibly get a small bike in the back. I couldn't get a large lazy dog in there because the floor is really high with the battery underneath... I prefer the design to the Renault Zoe...

“Furthermore, the Commission explicitly stated that open throttle bicycles up to 25 km/h would be classified as L1e-A vehicles. Before this statement, the Commission had indicated that L1e-A was meant for pedal assisted cycles 25 km/h up to 1 kW only. Categorization of open throttle bicycles as...

The previous posts prove that people are different shapes thus requiring different settings adapted to THEIR morphology and it is called: "Ergonomics (or human factors) is the scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and...
