That's correct, though the article isn't fully up to date. 2024/24/EC is now incorporated within and replaced by 168/2013, as mentioned in my previous post. .

. EU26. The Irish will just nip over the border to buy, they have long experience at this in both directions. .

. You forgot to mention the crime. .

But that's not a pedelec. Austria is in the EU whch has a mandatory 250 watts rating limit for all countries, embodied in the 168/2013 Two and Three Wheeler Type Approval Regulations. I daresay those 600 watt machines have extra requirements like insurance, registration etc., and they do have...

Often there's no option, some have company cars that they have to have available during the day. I was in that position myelf for many years, forced to commute by car in London. .

Not true, The Charging Post is specifically not an e-bike forum, as it's sub title states. It sits alongside 20 other forums which are for e-bike subjects. Isn't that enough for you? .

So you were wrong in saying no mind is going to be changed. Yours has, since after posting your dislike of this thread you've found something you like after all. .

If you don't like it, don't enter. Don't you realise that in entering to protest a second time that you don't like it in here you are being far more stupid than anyone posting in this thread? .

The Brexit thread is not in an e-bike forum but The Charging Post, specifically stated to be for other subjects. Free speech. And Cosybike's thread is specifically aimed at the way dealers treat customers, not in any way connected with Brexit or that thread. Hopefully the author will respond...

It's 250 watts throughout the EU and in many other countries, including Japan, China where it's being phased in, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and in Australian federal law. The main exceptions are US federal law which is 750 watts, though that is often varied by state laws, and New Zealand...

As the first ever member of this forum and continuously in here for its eleven years of life, I'm unaware of any racism or misogyny. As someone who detests racism and sexism I'm very sensitive to any sign of their presence. In the earlier years of ths forum I bemoaned the lack of female...

Maybe not, perhaps surprising but the UN is getting very worried that we are running out of sand. This 30 minute program on the i-player explains. .

Probably drive prices up since lithium supplies are finite, cobalt too as Tom has posted earlier. There will always be some availability of these materials, but as they get more difficult to access they'll become ever dearer. .

Indeed, we will become especially vulnerable once out of the EU. While in the EU it would be very difficult for government to defy the EU position that pedelecs are just bicycles. Once out of the EU any Chancellor of the Exchequer wanting to raise more money could virtually nod through such a...

I reached three e-bikes for while but managed to reduce to two and eventually years later to one. Now I'm undergoing cold turkey with no e-bike at all, but not as bad as it sounds since the cold and wet weather helps to deter thoughts of resuming the addiction at present. .

But I don't drink alcohol either! .

As I said in this post, a politician cannot do that without causing much more damage. This will die out as the storm in a teacup that it is. There's so much other bad news due shortly, that is ensured. . .

But cars are traceable and their drivers have to be tested and licenced. Bring in registration and a driving licence for pedelecs and we could do away with assist limits, just have the national 60mph speed limit and local lower limits like 30 and 20 mph. :) N.B. The bicycle based 15.5mph...

The front wheel one illustrated is a direct drive 1000 watt, the outer one illustrated with a multi-sprocket freewheel is a geared 250 watt hub. The whole advert is confusing but appears to offer choice of either at the same price. There's no battery or charger included though, so for a...

Once again, we have no proof he has slipped up, there may have been no pornography on the computer, or none that he had uploaded. There was a time when the officer could have used proper protocols to have this investigated if there was pornography on the computer. Then it could have been...
