Great machine David, a real eye opener among e-bikes. Is it going to be only a UK/EU legal pedelec or derestrictable for the US and similar markets? .

Most hub motors have to use a larger diameter spindle than the bicycle norms, hence the larger nut at the rear. As for storing spanner length on the bike, chrome-vanadium hacksaws and files ok so they can be cut down to suit. This kit on one of mine shows shortened open and ring spanners to suit:

I hope you are right, but women in authority aren't noted for changing their minds, no matter how wrong they've become. Margaret Thatcher being a notable example here, but many others elsewhere. .

A certain appropriateness for our royal family, since the name Derek comes from the old German, and it means people-ruler. Jason would have been a more certain way to lose your tenner though. .

In these days of privatisation and selling off the family silver, perhaps we could flog it to a wealthy American who wants to adopt a royal baby. There's quite a few more that could go that way, at least they'd be doing something useful for a change. .

Given that no person of truly sound mind would stand for the completely impossible job of satisfying more than a very small proportion of the electorate, we only have the rest to vote for. So it's either the morons, the crooks, the sadly misguided, or not voting at all like up to a third of the...

This news was also covered on a BBC Radio 4 program a week or so ago, with the same reasoning. .

The video shows a completely different e-bike!!!!! .

They aren't totally uncaring, being very concerned about their own welfare, incomes etc. .

What is it about Northern Somerset? The North constituency has Liam Fox as the MP, the North-East constituency has Jacob Rees Mogg, both extreme hard Brexiters. .

It's not common. In some mainland European countries they have a speed pedelec law which permits fast 350 watt machines with registration and insurance, but they are only 1% of pedelec sales. Here in the UK 350 watt machines are mopeds in law and have to be registered and treated like...

Judging from the history, you are only likely to suffer a check in the event of your being involved in an accident, and even then only if someone was injured or killed. That's when police traffic officers get involved and some of them do know pedelec law. However, if any 350 watt markings on...

No that is not the case. Firstly the UK not including N.I. did bring its law into line with the EU on 6th April 2015. Secondly N.I. hasn't dropped out of accepting that. Their transport law is devolved to them, so they should have adopted it as we did. However their governing assembly had...

There are no checks since it isn't illegal to sell any vehicle that doesn't comply with road use law. The law only applies to the user, not the maker, since the breach can only be when the vehicle is in use. .

I can imagine that would happen when it was first introduced. But it sure didn't apply in Hampshire over a number of years from 2005 onwards. Unless of course it was only switched on daytimes sometime after 7 am. I like to drive long distances very early at speed when there's little traffic...

Both have been fabricated from beginning to end, all part of an ongoing Western propaganda war against Russia. It is retaliation for the Russians exposing just how weak the West really is by their unopposed actions in the Crimea and Ukraine. .

Makes a nice change. We strictly enforce the fishing quotas while Spain's disregard of them means even channel swimmers aren't safe. For once this seems to be the opposite, average speed zones often ignored here but not there. .

I wonder if it could have been Theresa May? :D .

You've left off the next paragraph: However, under European law new "Twist and Go" vehicles will, from January 2016 have to meet a range of technical requirements before they can be used on roads. This will normally be established by "type approval" at the manufacturing stage but importers and...
