    a soft brexit. Labour seems to have the right brexit policy at the moment.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it's a geared hub. The problem with the ADD complaint from the EMBA is they compare pears and apples. The danger to their members is real, as the e-bike market grows, their members increase production capacity in anticipation. Then comes Bafang with their mid motors at half the Bosch price and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That bike is a steel frame, cheap motor, 24V SLA. I know they sell for about $250-275 FOB Shanghai. And it's not dumping. You can buy the motor for $35, the controller for $13, the LED panel for $10, the 24V SLA battery costs $30, the bike costs less than $100. If you put that bike next to a...

    then people should ask why the tory government is so keen to veto the financial transaction tax.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    if you wonder why the £350 millions a week to the NHS hits the mark so well, it is because brexiters see it as their money. I bet if the EU contribution is paid out of financial transaction tax, nobody would be bothered to vote against it.

    Bike suggestions for a couple of chunky gents :-)

    Ask your local bike shop, they may want to suggest something nice to suit and perhaps even do the conversion for you. Here is my runabout, fitted with the 48V SWX02 kit. A new donor bike like this costs about £350 at Halfords. The donor bike weighs about 13kg-14kg, the kit adds 6.5kgs.

    Bike suggestions for a couple of chunky gents :-)

    would you consider conversion? the Woosh 48V SWX02 hub kit will whisk 20st up most hills with ease. It's my favourite runabout town at the moment although I don't weigh anything as much, I do enjoy a fast start off at traffic lights! http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?hubkits

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    x is paid by individuals, most keenly felt by brexiters, y is paid to local authorities and other institutions and z paid to the capitalists. Talking about transfer of wealth, it's going in the wrong direction, no wonder that 17+ millions voted out.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    not really. there are more net contributors than 4, Germany, UK (soon not to be), France, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Finland and soon ROI. The EU may also raise the financial transaction tax, that will be very substantial. Also, we cannot discount a future participation of the...

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    it does not matter, really. but even so, 1) could well drag on for ages with representations on both sides. From the Chinese side, e-bikes should be on the green product list and there will be plenty of producers willing to supply their audited accounts to be excluded from ADD. 2) I doubt that...

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    David, I read very carefully the arguments put forward by the complainants. They have about 30% of unused capacity at the moment, although the market is growing at an accelerated pace. Competition from China puts EU manufacturers into a corner. China has the capacity and the technology to wipe...

    you are not taking their personal viewpoint into account.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    People voted in relation to their personal circumstance. For instance, the situation of the man in Hartlepool that KudosDave mentions many times is not comparable to KudosDave's own, that explains why they voted differently.

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    David, Under normal circumstance, we would have had no hesitation to sign up to show our solidarity. However, after reading the complaint document, we are a little divided on this issue, so we will abstain this time. Best wishes, Tony

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    productivity is a trade off, if you have more workers producing the same output, then productivity decreases. After the bankers blew up the betting shop in 2007/2008 as you put it, there is no money for investment into production, the priority is then employment, productivity improvement is the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    there is a moral issue with a second referendum. The leaflet that DC sent out before the referendum made is clear that 'our government will implement your decision'. Going back on it means that the tories can't be and won't be trusted for years to come. With hindsight, there should have been a...
