    If you mean approved as a motor vehicle for registration, they can't be. The EU wide mandatory Two and Three Wheeled Vehicle Type Approval law 168/2013 specifically exempts pedelecs from being a motor vehicle. This law was integrated in UK law under its original name 2002/24/EC on 10th...

    Yes, a freewheel, but the 13 - 32 does have some megarange jump. Your rear mechanism will work with it ok though. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Ok, so we just criticise any alternatives without checking to see if they contain any good elements, continue to do nothing and drift off into oblivion. Fact is that to get out of our present ever increasing debt spiral and eventually become successful will entail pain, lots of it. Unlike...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Oddly, the right wing CPF in some of its effects at least is rather like the left wing high taxation in Sweden, both providing for a variety of needs. Add that 37% and 11% together and the taxation is still much lower than Sweden's, where their society are very content. .

    Do you let friends have a go?
