    Are there any British manufacturers?

    The Juicy bike shown on this link has this feature and eZee also used to make the Cadence cruiser model using a similar frame. Photo of that on this link. It increases the front frame lateral rigidity and is a convenient way to accommodate a rear of seat tube battery. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed at present, not completely pointless, but as I posted, more pointless with each concession. If we carry on like this it could get to almost pointless. .

    Should I bother with registration?

    It looks like you may be ok without that now. When the new group Q was introduced last year it was for powered two and three wheelers limited to 15.5 mph. Now I see on gov.uk that it only specifies up to 50cc with no mention of electric power, so either a clarification or someone had second...

    Should I bother with registration?

    Cases of this are so rare that there's no understood penalty or even charges. It would be down to the police and the circumstances what charges were brought, or where death or serious injury had occurred, the CPS. So the charges could range from a single one of riding an unregistered vehicle...

    Newbie - Advice required on conversion legals please?

    As d8veh says, and the first review on their website confirms. Here's the extract: The kit comes in a box, wheel needs a tyre and a tube. I purchased an inline brake kit compatible with my bike, a torque arm and a battery separately. Installation took about 3h, but more than 1h was spent...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Conquerors rather than successful dictators. Only Genhgis Kahn was also a truly successful dictator, the other three not lasting very long. Even Robert Mugabe lasted longer than them in his presidential dictatorship period. As a dictator Mussolini scarcely qualified, he was even sacked by...

    Any opinions on Trek ebikes?

    I've only seen two pedelecs in modern times with them at both ends, the Comfort and ST models of the Giant Lafree. They of course were low powered and mainly aimed at the Dutch market where it's very flat. The original eZee Torque that I owned had a roller rear brake which was as useless as...

    If you can try one, like it and it will do what you want, there's nothing wrong with that kit option. If you can't try one first there's an element of guesswork of course, if it's powerful enough for you or if you like the way it works or not. .

    Thanks, good to learn that eZee are still very active. The new system wouldn't suit the OP, he ideally needs one of the old eZee models switched to pedelec so he could just twirl the pedals and twist the throttle. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The pressure cooker effect arose initially from the stupidity of what we did in 1922 and it would always have come out sometime without a control to prevent it for a long enough time. Marshall Tito was in no way to blame for it. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not so, Tito didn't cause people to suffer at all. He gave them a calm orderly civilised society. He should perhaps have set up an order of succession, but that would have meant a continued dictatorship. .

    I would never do that when answering questions. It wasn't clear that was what you were asking, perhaps because you were asking multiple questions with each post. That Ezee system was never very common, especially because throttles were being phased out with the changes in the law. Even they...

    Forget torque control, that is a different system that needs effort put in to get power, but it's usually combined with a cadence sensor that demands pedal rotation. Cadence control only needs the pedals to rotate at any speed for the motor to run. You said above that you've tried some like...
