Yes, their allegiance is to Eire where EU rules apply. .

Typo amended, stupid keyboard design putting g next to h. It was appropriate though, given the gas guzzlers they drive over there. .

Bromptons are great bikes. Though you don't want to tackle hills, the smaller the wheel, the greater the mechanical advantage, so the 16" Brompton rear wheel will enable you to do more than you probably think on moderate slopes. E-bike batteries out of use deteriorate and should have a top up...

Yes, the early Agattus in 2007/8 used the Panasonic crank motor with Panasonic batteries that easily lasted 5 years or more. Later Kalkhoff started using German built BMZ batteries with Panasonic units, but they were also built to high standards and used the same metering as the Panasonic...

After many years of them being illegal though widely used in the City of New York, e-bikes with the usual USA 20 mph assist will finally be permitted soon. But once again, no throttles allowed: Information link .

A High Court judge wouldn't rule any of those, he would merely rule that it was an illegal motor vehicle. There are two levels of law that have to be passed, one to be a legal motor vehicle or exempt from motor vehicle law, the other the legality of use. To be a legal motor vehicle it has to...

Young trouble makers eh? (At 82 I can say that!) .

I don't ride like so many cyclists do these days, often much too fast for the circumstances. I'm from when 10 to 12 mph were common cycling speeds. When riding past parked cars or pedestrians on pavements I'm usually well clear and or not fast enough to break skin, let alone bone. On shared...

Not a judge though, a magistrate, and they often get things wrong. The decision was clearly wrong. Even Crown Courts cannot definitively rule, that is the province of the High Court or Supreme Court. .

Here in the mainland UK the law regarding motor vehicle use applies anywhere the public have access. Use off road on private land really does mean private, not even a public footpath going through it. Though as ever of course this aspect of the law is widely ignored. Personally, despite...

PSA Chief Executive Carlos Tavares has made it clear that the period to the end of 2020 with continued EU access has made this investment possible, and our government has subsidised the investment. Tariffs after 2020 could change the position. Their other plant at Ellesmere Port producing the...

You're in Thearcher12, riding on the A523. You appear to be in the same post code as member axolotl: Map Link .

You're in Gaz, riding on Selwyn Road: Map Link .

E-bike lithium batteries have at times been described as "household bombs". They can violently explode and produce fierce fires if mistreated, so one should never take any risks with them. .

That's exactly what we did in the mainland UK for the 10 years our 250 watt e-bikes were officially motorbikes according to our 1983 EAPC law. Of course we had the advantage of there being over 150,000 of us, double the prison population that they already couldn't cope with, so could tell them...

Russia has demanded representation in an examination of this affair and that has been granted at the Hague, the home of the International Court. The UK government has really cocked this one up, with the EU foolish enough to have joined in. .

That Heinzmann brush motor was geared, not Direct Drive. It has an asymmetric single pinion drive into a peripheral hub rack and is high torque. Peak consumption from zero revs was 600 watts. .

It's just been revealed that Porton Down did not say the material was military grade and Twitter amendments have had to be made, much to the government's embarrassment. It was our Ambassador to Russia saying that originally, though why a diplomat would assume such knowledge without access to...

Unfortunately I know from past experience that I cannot do this Ted. Government departments will never accept such representations from anyone not involved in the matter, and as an English person living in England any approach I make pertaining to N.I. would be rejected. The only exception...

Actually not so I'm afraid. The UK was one of only two member countries immediately signing EN15194 into national law, so we are stuck with all those pages. The other country was France. .
