all the big couriers (UPS, DPD etc) insist on certifications, DG9 labelling, UN 4G cartons and also on extra insurance to indemnify them against any accident for all batteries greater than 100WH which all e-bike batteries are.

you should hurry up and try a few more bikes as soon as possible. Low cost bikes (under £1,000) have been hit by EU anti dumping duty since yesterday.

"Will Italy and its ailing banks trigger the next global financial crisis?" the short answer is no. The world GDP is 78 trillion dollars, the Eurozone GDP is 17 trillion dollars. Most of Italy's public debt (2 trillion euros) is owned by Italians. There is no need to be alarmed because it is not...

was it Polly Toynbee? who pointed out that the root of the current conservative split is down to conservative candidates are usually chosen by a small number of very old (aged) tory members who tend to be naturally eurosceptic rather than pragmatic. Over time, the number of eurosceptic...

this comment from a reader at the bottom of the article sums up our current situation; "The question was, do you wish to stay in the EU or leave, that was all that was asked. For the simple reason that very few voters had the first clue how the EU works and now we know that the government does...

geared hub motors are quite robust. What is the diagnosis? We can fix SWX02 motors if you send it to me.

I forgot to mention: if your bike does not have a spoke magnet, then the replacement wheel needs to have internal speed sensor with the same number of magnets glued to the lid of the motor casing. It is usually 1 but on some motors, 6 magnets.. It's messy to later replace internal speed sensor...

for a long time, I wanted to make a kit for the Brompton but because the Brompton is rather 'bijoux', a custom battery is needed. I bumped into so many regulatory issues that need to be sorted before I can get product liability insurance, that project is still on the drawing board.

I find galling every time JRM comes to the TV to tell us that people voted to leave the Single Market. As if. There is no proof that they did so. Polls after polls, only about 26% of those who voted want us to leave the SM.

it would be so much easier if we join EFTA.

the fact is the UK is leaving the EU, hard border is unavoidable. If you divorce your wife, you can't blame her for changing the locks.

Westminster 'owns' Stormont, so the UK government will have to negotiate amendments to the GFA to reflect future trading relationship with the EU.

If you don't believe me, just google "do e-bikes batteries have to be UN38.3 certified" There have been plenty of threads on here about 38.3 over the years. BTW, soon I won't be allowed to repair batteries because a faulty battery cannot be moved unless to the tip. Batteries are made nowadays...

a hard border for goods applies when you fly between Southend to St Peter, Jersey, half an hour away. You have to declare goods exceeding certain value, something like £100? Jersey is outside the EU. if it's a vote in Stormont, then Westminster will decide. If it's a referendum, then it's...
