That was the reason behind Theresa May stating in the Commons that they did not intend any escalation of retaliation. I suspect they now know that Russia wasn't responsible this time, but having boxed themselves into a corner they aren't able to back down. .

The new 2018 Leaf performance certainly doesn't seem to be affected, it's taken a marked step up. Previous model's 1 - 62 mph was a respectable 11.1 seconds, the new one 7.9 seconds. .

Thanks, that was my understanding too from all my swatting up about it. I didn't research the VW closely since it's current small battery is planned for replacement. VW had originally planned a progressive upgrade but it seems will now go straight to a doubling in battery capacity. Skoda...

Thanks for the update Wheeler, my choice of rely wasn't the best, I was just showing that as it was from the mains when plugged in it could easily heat the car without relying on it's own resources. There seems to be some mixed opinions though, since I've read a few moans about the...

You're right, their heat pumps are not very effective, nor the cabin heating overall. For that reason they rely on pre-heating, either using the built in user-preset timer, or a mobile phone app to trigger the heating on remotely. .

It's always difficult to tell on e-bikes, due to the rider contribution, but cold does seem to make a big difference to pure electric car lithium batteries. Nissan on the 2018 new Leaf quote own ranges of 185 miles Summer and 125 miles Winter. VW on the little e-Up model quote realistic ranges...

Careful. Remember what happened later when the South did that after joining the EU. .

In the world of digital rodents, that's not a Mouse, it's a Capybara! .

Torque arms link That's the same supplier as the other parts in d8veh's list above. The spoke key you can get from any good bike shop or online through a Google search. I don't know about the throttle for that kit. .

I suppose ambivalence has its advantages. One can never be completely wrong. .

Well they've got the wrong idea surely? Taking any notice of other's opinions isn't what it's about, it's only about expressing one's own. .

And if they found it stressful they could always read my 37,448 posts instead. ;) .

The shelf life of alkalines is quoted as 5 years, but that's for selling as new so with very little loss. It follows that they will last very much longer with a gradually increasing loss of capacity. The main problem I've noticed with age is corrosive leakage on the less well made batteries. .

When we look at what humans have done to this planet and other life, spending time posting here might be the least worst thing we could do, keeping us away from doing real mischief. Forums could save the planet! .

The year Hitler held the Munich Olympics, probably to celebrate my birth. 1936 .

That happened a long time ago. .

Yikes! Has it got headlamps? Still, at least I suppose it keeps your hand warm. .

That's of course if the story about the 146% is true. It's probably Daily Mail type anti Russian propaganda. The Russians didn't win the space race with that sort of maths. .

As with their Cyrilic alphabet, they use a different form of maths. ;) As long as they compare their arms to our arms using that counting method on theirs, we'll be safe. :D .

You'll be alright Mark, I wouldn't even worry about the throttle. Here's a little of the complex legal background you are probably not aware of. From when the EAPC UK electric bike regulations came into force in 1983 until 6th April 2015, throttles were completely legal on e-bikes. As a...
