    Will An Ebike Motor Lose Power Under Stress?

    yes. This is down to voltage sag. The battery has an internal resistance. When you climb a hill, the motor draws a lot more power than on the flat, that can be as much as 7 times on a steep hill. The voltage drops more than when you ride on flat road, you can see this on the battery indicator...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    on the brexiteers' side, it's astonishing what £12m from Mr Arron Banks can buy. On the remain side, you have Mr Soros and Amber Rudd's brother Roland Rudd. This generation will see the rise of PR as the new industry.

    David Davis at the moment. He mans the post for the brexiteers. History will record how a small bunch of financiers ruin this country.

    it's a bit like active RFID as opposed to normal RFID, you can check and verify their position by other sensors like Lidar. Encryption procotol usually makes spoofing unlikely.

    if we could extend A50 until after the next GE (whenever that may be), that would be less damaging to the economy.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Amazing: the EU is privately preparing to extend A50. Irish prime minister Leo Varadkar said this week that there were “a number of different scenarios that could arise if we’re in a ‘no deal’ situation” by March – acknowledging that it “is possible to extend Article 50 to allow more time for...

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    unfortunately, that was the EU findings as published in the EU OJ. I hold little hope that ADD is going to be less than 15%, there is no real prospect of avoiding UK re-assembly from SDK. The EU may even close that loophole eventually. I reckon the net cost of re-assembly is 22% on a $700 bike...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Do you know that the Norway solution is a 'temporary arrangement'? Norwegian government wants to rejoin the EU but the Norwegians do not want to, so they continue with the temporary arrangement. That's what soft brexit is likely to be. Continue to transit until the EU's average is better than...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There is no reason why Labour should not have voted for A50. Tory hard brexiter MPs use wrecking tactic to stop: a) any deal that keeps the UK in the or a CU and/or the SM or pay the divorce bill b) Parliament to have a role in shaping brexit The sooner we have a new GE, the better really.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    but Labour does not stop Parliament to have a role in guiding the brexit process. It's down to a small group of Tories MPs with the backing of the right wing newspapers (DT, DE, Sun) and a small majority of conservative party membership who want a no deal brexit. If there is another GE, that...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the EU would agree to a number of existing solutions, from Turkey to Norway,but not to the middle of the Atlantic (no deal, run away without paying the bar bill). It's the tories who cannot agree between themselves and in addition, stop Parliament to have a role. Clearly, the tories are a danger...

    The 15% is the level at which assembly in the UK makes sense. The potential ADD is indeed 189%, if imposed, will wipe out direct import of complete bikes from the PRC. 1. starting date: latest 20 July 2. registration will last at least 9 months. Current market share of Chinese e-bike: about...
