    How i can increase max speed of my bike?

    And in similar vein about your posts: It's Hijack or Highjack, never hyjack. ;) .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes. It is in the nature of these idiots that they will enjoy the suffering on the basis of "We Brits can Take it", uttering the tired mantras about "Blitz spirit" etc. It's why they still insist on speaking of the "Dunkirk spirit" as if that was a victory, rather than when we lost the second...

    How i can increase max speed of my bike?

    That would be very irresponsible in the Electric Bicycles Forum and also an abuse of this website as this heading shows: Electric Bicycles General discussion about electric bikes, e-bikes, pedelecs, pedal-assist known as EAPCs (electrically assisted pedal cycles). The current UK EAPC law states...

    How i can increase max speed of my bike?

    You're on the losing side in this issue. The great majority in this forum are opposed to derestriction and many of us post warnings about the illegality when someone mentions getting higher speeds. That's the responsible thing to do since not all realise that it is illegal or the possible...

    How i can increase max speed of my bike?

    We're a very naughty lot in here Ryan, no thread is considered complete until it's been hijacked at least once. We've had e-biking threads with posts on sewing, best ready meals in supermarkets, a variety of medical problems not related to cycling, cultures in other countries, music...

    The end of BionX? - An interesting post on ES by Justin Lemire-Elmore

    Footnote: This Bionx declared bankruptcy on 27th February 2018. They are not connected in any way to the BionX company who make advanced prosthetics, including what is claimed to be the world's only active prosthetic ankle-foot joint. .

    How i can increase max speed of my bike?

    It's because illegal e-bikes are environmentally sound compared to the i.c. ones! It's a bit like the criminal who feels virtuous because he only steals from the rich who can afford it. :D .

    Forum running really slow

    Not long ago when the site switched to xenForo hosting, so it's down to them rather than pedelecs. I have no problem with an up to date SSD only hi spec computer though, it's one of the fastest sites that I use, so I don't see a hosting or server problem. Try the BBC's i-player if you want to...

    The end of BionX? - An interesting post on ES by Justin Lemire-Elmore

    I haven't been as harsh as many commenting here since I remember from a dozen and more years ago when the Bionx was a very good e-bike motor with very happy owners. That was before lithium batteries took over the e-bike market and Bionx like others used an NiMh battery. There was just one...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think her position ridiculous, amounting to saying we are staying in the Customs Union but will the EU please agree not to call it a Customs Union because it upsets Jacob. .

    Go to work on a Pineapple! Wisper Folder sneak preview.

    Does it have a tiny in-frame battery David, or is the battery to be added? The gearing looks good, high enough to keep up a good pace pedalling and as long as there's provision for optional or after market mudguards I'm happy with it, looks good. .

    The end of BionX? - An interesting post on ES by Justin Lemire-Elmore

    It's always a pity to see one of the best known long established players threatened with closing, but the writing has been on the wall for a long time. Principle causes have been the proprietary battery system, the insanely expensive battery prices hitting £1050 for 346 Wh years ago, more...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    At least that's realistic, but considering the importance to us of financial services it's a crazy position to take. They really do seem to have some suicidal tendencies. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's what I posted and what the Zoe owner said he got in this forum, 3 miles per kWh, 3 x 40 kWh = 120. He said never less than, you say at most, so presumably some variation in your battery healths or charger peaks or even driving patterns. Personally this doesn't worry me since winter...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Fully agree, which is just one of the two reasons they will never displace i.c cars. The other being the inadequate infrastructure of course. This simply isn't true, a fabrication to suit your argument. Given the cost an e-car they investigate very fully and there are numerous forums they...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not paved of course, there can never be enough, but we are much better off than many locations. Still way off subject though and not relevant, since people buy an e-car after establishing they will have sufficient charging facilities in suitable places for their purposes. I'm still a long way...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I disagreed that it was an acceptable reply, since it was completely off subject. The subject was whether e-cars in London were solely the province of the Tesla owning wealthy as Oyster claimed, and my reply to him refuted that with undeniable proof. Your response brought in charge points in...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    And I wouldn't be confident about England. It could easily be a clean sweep for Remain, since the public are increasingly sick of the whole subject and the ever increasing number of seemingly insoluble problems cropping up. .
