    yes, there are. firstly, aluminium oxydizes very easily and aluminium oxide is an excellent insulator, so not good to use in place of copper wires. Secondly, corrosion. Whenever you have two metals joined together, aluminium and the weld metal, you create a battery. If there is no current...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    if we crash out without a deal, we just hurt ourselves economically a little more. More companies will decamp to the EU27 and take a lot of assets out of the country. That is exactly what some of the EU27 members would like to see.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I can't see what the journo hacks at the Express could do to harm our negotiating position. Did you watch QT last night? Tim Stanley @ the DT made me smile, he did a pretty good job at boring the hard brexiters in the audience when he started talking about the importance of carrying out brexit...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the deals that TM and her team sign in China are ordinary trade deals (like purchase orders), not the kind of 'trade deals' forbidden by EU treaties. Apparently, our government is looking at EFTA for a possible model of customs union.

    e-Moblity - should bike shops be looking at the wider e-transport picture?

    agreed. The bikeshop market (road, mtb, kids and e-bikes) seem static, growth is in the mysterious 'Others' segment. Some new invention as yet to happen?

    yet, tightening immigration rules is one necessary remedy to the current British social division and it has to be applied to the transition period.

    Front suspension, disc brakes & gears

    The yeti's boot is much bigger than the Focus. I would fold one seat and strap both Gales with just the handlebars folded to that side. It's quick and simple to get the bikes in and out.

    Front suspension, disc brakes & gears

    Both 13AH and 14.5AH batteries for the Gale have the same casing, only the cells inside differ. Would two Gales fit in your car's boot? I may be able to answer that question if you let me know which car you drive. I know the Ford Focus will take two folded Gales side by side.

    no, he's not. He just delivers the brexit sermon - things like trust in the British people, higher growth outside the EU sounds like obvious truths but if you look more into details, these things are already factored into our economy. Brexit does not suddenly make the UK more productive.

    Any crank drive is potentially capable of higher speed than the Oxygen if derestricted because of the gearing. A crank drive also climbs better at the same battery consumption.

    High time ebike battery sellers were honest about battery AH capacity

    are you sure of your source of information? The datasheet for your cells is here: https://www.nkon.nl/sk/k/29E.pdf typical capacity: 2.850AH at 0.2C 2.5V discharge that's 0.2 * 2.9A * 6P = 3.48A going through your battery. I know it's still bordering on the honesty scale but is realistic on a...
