    Eyewear for Cyclists

    My glasses make the world look brighter. So much so that you end up wearing them when it is dark and you look like a right w**ker... In any case after wearing them for a while you get these mind tricks when you take them off everything looks like it is false 3-D, that would please soundwave I bet :D

    Difficulties getting an e-car, Part 2

    When you think that they had the financial clout to take on Tesla head to head in the same fashion Airbus against all odds took on Boeing... Well the yellow cars are back in Formula One helping with the climate and CO2 emissions and all that next season...

    Cycle Mirror

    Rubbery coating over hard plastic? I drilled the end out with a 22 mm wood bit. Nice and clean looks like it came from the factory that way.

    Difficulties getting an e-car, Part 2

    I think that they do already for some people. What if all those who need a car which fits into an electric cars limitations switched now. That would clean up a lot of our cities for one (yes Paris I am looking at you!). What if we rethought car ownership as many on this forum have probably...

    Shortlist down to 2 (Orbea/Wisper) - Thoughts/Comments

    Battery position on the Keram + 28" wheels + frame lock + sexier looks (eye of beholder) would be my choice.

    Bar Ends

    I have been looking at Ergotec EVO Touring L Bar Ends for my current steed. But I feel they are a bit wasted on this bike as I really want to move on to the larger one.

    Eyewear for Cyclists

    The guy who rode to the ferry to get (bad) coffee was wearing glasses. No helmet though... His wife didn't seem to mind... :p

    Thoughts on Carrera Crossfire-E

    Then it isn't EN 15194 compliant! Full documentation is obligatory to be EN 15194

    I thought you were working towards zero deficit, how can you do that and buy missiles at the same time. Oh, you are going to close down the hospitals! :rolleyes:

    Eyewear for Cyclists

    Prescription sun glasses with polarising lenses. They are of course treated anti-scratch and shatter-proof. The coating is at the maximum allowed level for use while driving. I have another pair which is not road legal for really sunny days. There I go breaking the law again :oops:

    Difficulties getting an e-car, Part 2

    Motor P1 setting?

    "P1 is motor characteristic parameter setting mode. P1 = motor gear reduction ratio x number of rotor magnet pieces, just rounding if there’s any decimal." That one? Does a direct drive have a motor gear reduction ratio?

    Handlebars

    The are on upside down! :p Seriously I like the riding position with "Moustache" handlebars and my back can still handle the position. We all did that as kids didn't we? Turned the handlebars upside down to make our steed a little more sporty.

    Which car brands are worst for close passing?

    Cars with apprentice driver stickers driven by young girls who have never ridden a bike in their life. Expensive cars driven by retired men who should very probably be breathalyser tested (even at 10 a.m.) and (drum roll) white vans. :D

    29er+ conversion kit. Range required 45 miles

    Yep that would do the trick from what i understand of your riding abilities. If you have the cash just pull the trigger on the Scott they are lovely, saw one in the street the other day. I am more worried about 32 spokes vs hub motor plus the weight... Bolted on weight isn't the same as in the...
