Yes, could be fun. At present though it's just Tesla leading the way as usual, with spectacular fires. Others selling pure electric cars like Nissan, Renault, Mitsubishi, Peugeot, Citroen, VW and Ford haven't suffered them. I've just posted about our electric bus fleet expanding in The...

Our 5 fully electric double decker buses are to be joined by 68 more this year, making it the largest electric bus fleet in Europe. The fleet will rise further to 240 next year. Primarily they'll be on routes travelling into central London where the pollution problems are worst. This couples...

Those very close had some very superficial injuries, but the overreaction was ridiculous. The comment below gives some idea: Manuel Cortes, general secretary of the TSSA transport worker union, said: “Our thoughts are with those caught up in this incident and their loved ones. Goodness knows...

Walk away without a deal. ;) .

Thanks for the information. Does make one think though, 300 Wh limit against e-car's freedom to travel anywhere with thousands of watt hours. Next year's Leaf is to have a 63,000 Wh battery, 210 times that limit. .

Following the bankruptcy of BionX Canada, BionX gmbh in Germany have announced that they are continuing to operate sales and service and are seeking to produce the motors there now. Information Link .

A bit daft when you think that with the new Nissan Leaf that I'm waiting for, I'll be able to drive its 40,000 Wh battery down to Dover and then go by ship or Eurotunnel train to France, all without filling in any special document! .

Which surely is staying in for at least one decade, all present conditions continuing. I think the will to leave would dissolve. .

Meanwhile we stay in? Works for me. .

Welcome to the forum Heckler, I wish you all the best with your e-bike build project. .

Voyager 1 and 2 weren't listening. That's the trouble with space, there is no up. o_O .

A shredding wiper blade might in heavy rain, but one spark plug failing probably wouldn't. I drove a 75 mile motorway journey at speed on three of the four cylinders when a spark plug failed at the outset. Just keeping it spinning it was no problem. .

Indeed, but I was thinking that for the scheme the AA would subsidise somewhat to be able to offer some things for under the fiver. .

Exactly, I didn't say British commercial practice and specifically drew attention to the very superior French system. I don't agree that the NHS is run as a business now though. It's supposed to be, but I see no evidence of that in practice. All I see is the same old system but fragmented and...

Totally agree Tillson, I am also often angry at what I see each time I'm in contact with the NHS at more than superficial level. The wastage of resources is rife and it's accompanied far too often with sub standard service, including in medical treatment. The French have a payment system with...

Fined 10 shillings, that would have been pre 1971, so any motor if fitted to a UK bike would have been a petrol one. Their only speed limiting was running out of power and revs, so no dongles. Some of them would get to around 20 mph on the flat. .

Of course there's little power left available at 17 mph (no load spin is just over 19 mph) but why would one want it at the assist limit? It's not supposed to be there then so couldn't be used! All that matters is that there's plenty enough power at 15/16 mph for riding on the flat, even...

Interesting, the motor will overcome the NuVinci drag, should be nice to ride. .

The SNP will be opposed, they want to be independent. Not joined even more to the UK, providing a truck route from Northern Ireland passing through Scotland on their way to England. .

He's a total idiot. When London Mayor he backed a crazy Garden Bridge over the Thames scheme and wasted £37 millions in research etc. Thank goodness Sadiq Khan cancelled it to prevent any more wastage. Boris also wanted Heathrow scrapped and a whole new four runway airport built over the...
