    How another bike forum see's us the Pedelecs forum.

    Yes, that certainly might have coloured his opinion, I noticed he didn't give a "Like" to d8veh's assessment. :D .

    How another bike forum see's us the Pedelecs forum.

    In Pedelecs there has been many warnings issued, some temporary bans and even a number of members permanently banned. Two of those permanently banned had previously been subject to a temporary ban and warnings. One of them was an important and valuable member for the information and experience...

    How another bike forum see's us the Pedelecs forum.

    Well that doesn't say much for the perceptions and judgement of the membership of Cycling UK. Pedelecs has 20 e-biking forums and just 1 off-subject one Those 20 e-biking forums have 355,667 contributions on the subject. The Charging Post has 56,402 contributions on every subject under the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Indeed. BBC Newsnight last night once again carried an item on the Skripal incident, interviewing Salisbury hospital staff, again trying to reinforce the story. It was rather pathetic with them giving no information of value and a poorly briefed and somewhat embarrassed reporter being...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Qute rightly the journalists are saying the Ukrainian story is unbelievable. A likely more accurate account is that the Ukraine was staging either a killing or a fake killing like the Skripals one and botched it. The story now given has all the hallmarks of a hurriedly made up one to cover...

    UK - legality of thumb-throttles in DIY conversions

    I think you made it clear that you dress in the image I speak of? I think it extraordinary that you might believe that many of the remaining general non-cycling public will not be deterred by the image that's so overwhelmingly common in Britain. Those who have adopted cycling have accepted...

    UK - legality of thumb-throttles in DIY conversions

    There is indeed some that is subjective about my opinions, as there is about your proposed alternatives. But much of what I express is from long experience. I joined the trade in 1950 having already been cycling for some years, and back then cycling as transport was the norm for Britain as...

    What Is The Main Purpose Of Pedelecs ?

    Perhaps Admin could make the judge an honorary member? :D For educational reasons of course. ;) .

    What Is The Main Purpose Of Pedelecs ?

    First, one enters a forum from choice, it is not the same as the public arena of the High Street. Second, this site now allows anyone to avoid seeing any part of the contributions according to choice, something not possible in the High Street. .

    What Is The Main Purpose Of Pedelecs ?

    As my post above, it has everything to do with my right to know what others think by way of their expression, no matter how extreme. .

    What Is The Main Purpose Of Pedelecs ?

    Tommie specifically addressed the post to me in respect of my behaviour. So as I posted above, you only want to censor what others say or read, and that is never acceptable. You should be satisfied that you can personally avoid seeing what you object to. All information is valuable, even...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    In these days of gender dysphoria that's by no means certain. ;) I do, they'd mostly put a cross in a little box. :D He won't, he's got enough troubles already and knows the great majority of the young are Remainers The Italians have always been on the left, usually having Europe's largest...

    What Is The Main Purpose Of Pedelecs ?

    Where that has occurred, and it certainly has, the answer is YES. And I've already indicated that in various ways: 1) As above I've posted a number of times that I don't approve of much of the Brexit thread content. 2) Again as above, I've clearly indicated that I disapproved of my radio...

    What Is The Main Purpose Of Pedelecs ?

    That has to be the most foolish post I've ever seen in this web site. Over 38,000 highly informative posts hardly indicates "not much to say", nor does the sheer scale of valuable advice given to members over nearly 12 years. My posts have always been decent and respectful of others, only...

    What Is The Main Purpose Of Pedelecs ?

    Yes it is. The point escaping you is that accepting free speech doesn't imply agreement with what is expressed. There's a huge amount in the Brexit thread I really don't approve of, but I don't favour suppressing it. There now should be no cause for complaint about that thread. Any member...

    Hi All

    It's not that easy, but controllers are not expensive. I'm not up to speed on today's controllers but hopefully someone will recommend one. Meanwhile post photos of your one to help with recommending a suitable one. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Fully agreed, and as Danidl says, many of us already knew it from the outset. Some while ago I posted about a discussion that my brother and I had about our EU membership, held long before there was any thought of leaving it. We were both agreed that leaving the EU had become impossible due to...

    Hi All

    Both appear to have the same internally geared motor so it's the controller changed to give the power rating. You would notice a big increase in power and the range shouldn't suffer too much with the 1000 watt one's larger battery. That's assuming this is the model: 350 watt model 1000 watt...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It will probably get worse. Inspired by the example of university fees that have to be paid back later in life, next there could be a charge for being born, slapped on each at birth and having to be paid back in working life. .

    First Road Legal S-Pedelec in the UK?

    Thanks, I thought that might be the case with you not getting troubled by the law. There are quite a few traffic officers who are well aware of pedelec law, in part since some forces have tried out or even bought them for police duties. In the south we've had two cases of them attempting...
