    Which kit for 30mph?

    you need to consider the parameters: - motor power - battery - gearing pedal assist bikes can reach 28mph like s-pedelecs. Beyond 28mph, it is an electric motorbike. If you are happy with 28mph, the current best choice is the BBSHD kit. Geared hub motors like the SWX02 are good up to 24mph...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    we are traditionally one of the most politically aware country in the world. I am pretty sure that brexit is watched anxiously by a lot of EU countries. If brexit delivers a reasonably good deal for the UK (eg Chequers) then you would see referenda in other EU countries.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    if the UK is split as a consequence of brexit, then presumably because people of Wales, Scotland and NI see a better future inside the US of E. That may cause people in England to rethink brexit. No lasting harm to test out the theory.

    How you get into the ebike business and why?

    getting back to the question: do I still think it's a good business? I voted for the second answer, it's getting a bit crowded now. There is and will always be room for businesses with innovative products but at the end of the day, innovative ideas have limited shelf life, you will still have to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    perhaps not historic ideals but prudence. The price of staying out of the EU is slower economic growth but it's a small price for retaining choice and diversity.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    quantum leap - like in catalytic reactions (see electron and proton tunneling), happens in an infinitesimal time, so its speed is very considerable, much more than non-catalytic reactions. So a quantum leap in miniaturisation would indeed shrink the size of the devices by several magnitudes.

    How you get into the ebike business and why?

    I had no experience in any bike related business when the business idea came to me. Sure, I was handy with tools, I could look after my car in my student days and have always looked after my bikes but with hindsight, that was nowhere near enough to go into a new business. The deciding factor had...

    sooner or later, Wales, Scotland and NI will decide for themselves if the conservatives are right to take them out of the EU.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's not restricted to BJ. Quite a few do that (eg TM), even if they supported remain before the vote, and say 'I am a democrat, I respect the will of the people'. It's a kind of the end justifies the means, what's the point of doing politics if not to seize power?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I quoted from memory, the £25k was a few years ago, it's now £28k which is just about living wage in London. After 4 years, they get revised to about £50k. It's still very low compared to jobs in the banking and legal sectors. https://www.faststream.gov.uk/

    that's starting salary in the commercial sector. In the public sector, he would have to go through the same Fast Stream (civil service) like other graduates, starting salary is £28k for 4 years, irrespective of his Cambridge SPS degree. He therefore has benefited from the political appointment.

    n+1 pedelec bike with throttle required.

    You can have the Santana with 17AH battery for £50 more. The throttle helps with hill start, reducing the need for hub gear. If you have hub gear on another bike, it's possible to swap the gears around.

    it reminds me of Stephen Kinnock's career.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Seb Corbyn is likely to become MP at the next GE or the GE after. I don't think Tommy Corbyn is going for the same career path.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I believe in the capitalist system but I think JC would get the right brexit to unite the country. In any case, the conservatives can't.

    be careful what you wish for. If JC is not PM, BJ, JRM or Gove will.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    if you exclude the don't know, remain only gets 50% of the vote, still won't put the matter to rest. I think it's better to let people get a taste of what is like to be outside the EU. See how we compare to the Swiss and Norwegians.
