No, see my post on this link, and particularly the first link in that post on measuring gradients. Percentages are the norm for hill measure, the degrees range to close for usefulness. .

Come off it! There's plenty of 25% in the UK and I have some I've ridden in my immediate cycling area. My steepest is just over 30%, I only managed it once and it nearly killed me. And I have accurately measured their gradient, see this link and the image below which is no longer in the...

I was only replying to the need for pedalling aspect. Of course it's illegal in other respects, but not so visually obvious as powering without pedalling would be. .

Not so most of the Brexit voters I was posting about, they really are misguided enough to believe the English are superior to the people of those countries. It even crops up in this forum with delusional posts about certain past British products. And of course there was no more obvious an...

Agreed of course, but this full an explanation was far beyond what was necessary to make my point in replying to Woosh. That N.I. isn't England, as their Brexit vote helped show. . .

Current at startup on the 200 watt 36 volt Powabyke brush motor setup is 600 watts, A to B published the graph some while ago. .

One can just spin without pedal effort to keep it running. That complies with the law, there's no specification that torque force has to be applied to the pedals. .

You did specifically ask about English sensitivity. Scotland of course has its own education system and specifically its own separate pride from that of the English. Northern Ireland is a very recent invention, due to its ex Scottish population, so largely unaffected by past English...

Centuries of Britain making the rules for much of the world, accompanied by Britons long being educated (brainwashed) into believing British superiority. The sensitivity is provoked by the contrast between that superiority belief and each intruding reality. .

Well done Ted, your efforts are paying off for N.I. e-bikers and we now know with certainty that the Chief Constable's views are those of the letter. It seems our impression that it will be reasonably safe to ride legal e-bikes so long as it's done responsibly were justified. Understandably no...

It's working ok for me. Here's the link direct for you: Kudos K16 N.B. Post crossed with Arstu's. .

Thanks Benjahmin, great photos of a beautiful area. .

Disgusting, and the reporter responsible was Andrew Gilligan. He worked for the BBC up until 2004, but resigned in the wake of the Hutton Inquiry, after Lord Hutton questioned the reliability of Gilligan's evidence. After resigning he was offered a job at The Spectator by its editor, Boris...

Of course, they don't want to lose their income from us. It's going to come down to principles versus money, subject to them being unable to let us have a deal that's better than membership, since they'd all want that. .

As a way of suppressing a story that has become embarrassing and could get even more so. Like many I'm already satisfied that the Novichoc story was false and that the agent used on the Skripals was the temporary incapacitating agent BZ. The approved Swiss Laboratory Spiez effectively...

They are two completely separate companies since 1992, and the bicycle side has independently developed since 1964. .

Yes, Powabyke started up in 1999, celebrated their tenth anniversary in here in 2009 and then promptly went into administration. They were rescued from that and have since concentrated on their X model which is generic Chinese now as d8veh says. Initially though the X bike used their old brush...

Green was the standard colour for public sale. It's not commonly known but BSA's Bantam was actually the pre-war DKW RT125 design, awarded to them as part of War reparations, German designs seized after WW2. The same design was also made in the USA as the Harley Davidson Hummer and Russia as...

He will in due course, but rushing too fast into Remain territory isn't an option. He is as ever playing his cards slowly to hang onto his traditional supporters who are also mostly Brexiters. Once the mess the Tories are making of Brexit is even more obvious and his supporters have got even...

Not to mention kilometres there too. .
