    New Online E-bike Magazine

    That might not be the worry it looks like in the surface. It's not just BMW using very different cells, Nissan and Renault have always done so on their e-cars, making their own batteries. And they are easily keeping up too, the original Leaf car battery was 24 kWh and without getting...

    New Online E-bike Magazine

    I can't see that is a problem. The law permits a maximum of 500 watt rating for S pedelecs but manufacturers have settled on 350 watts rating since that's the public's popular choice for optimum performance/range. With a 350 watt rating making about 700 watts peak possible, a cyclist will only...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It is enough, showing co-operation and dependence and rattling the rest of NATO. The US predictably tried threats but Turkey has rejected those and is making a stand. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Our politicians really do seem to lack imagination and the guile necessary to succeed. Take the Brexit problems that the EU isn't being very compliant and the USA doesn't look like it will be taking lots more imports from us. The simple answer is to do like NATO Turkey's president Recep Tayyip...

    Fat people discrimination

    And more time machining the longer stitching runs too. The small price increases I heard quoted seemed entirely reasonable to me. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No, it's sensible, hanging onto every vote. Doing what you advise and plumping for remain prematurely would be barmy, certain to lose him lots of Brexiter votes. You'd make a lousy politician! :D .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There's no point lost to me, it's you who isn't getting it. Corbyn's stance is simply that of not losing his majority Brexit supporters. How many more times do I have to point this out to you? If Corbyn backed Remain the huge number of Labour Brexit supporters would flock to UKIP and revive...

    Replace impulse 2 with bafang possible?

    It's not possible Zalle. The BBS02 mounts in the bicycle bottom bracket, but your bike doesn't have its own bottom bracket. That's part of the Impulse motor unit so only that unit can be fitted to the special frame mount. .

    Taking Ebike Out Of UK

    I believe that is only in special safety containers. Something to discuss with a major air courier like DHL who have their own fleet of aircraft. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes, and I've already told you more than once. Corbyn isn't exposing his position, simply to keep hold of all his support. He knows that once he commits, a sector of his vote will be lost, which depending on which way he goes. Leaving the decision to the end means he can capitalise on public...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I suppose we could investigate alternatives. We don't have much going for us, but we do have nuclear missile submarines, two new aircraft carriers, a fleet of Albion class assault ships, Eurofighters, B35s and drones. So we could become the world's first mercenary nation, for hire to help...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I doubt they even considered our government when voting in the referendum. I think their motivatation was in essence that foreigners are bad for us, impeding our inherent British superiority. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No, the party has the leader it wanted in Corbyn. That's why they voted him into office, they want a true socialist Labour government, not a pseudo Tory or LibDem one. It's the Blairite pseudo Tory MPs who don't want Corbyn, but they are only part of the Labour opposition and many in the party...

    I don't think he is the product of evolution so much as of the privileged education he received. In that and lacking other talent, he found that deceit masked by humour was the best attribute to succeed in the company present. He's practiced that ever since, as even his own sister confirms. .
