    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You really do wear blinkers. I'm very familiar with Jacob Rees Mogg's characteristics and don't wish to share in them. Hence my response which didn't in any way justify your assertion. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Indeed there were many accounts of Hitler's kindness, charm and good manners. Such characteristics may be evidence of good acting in such ultimately appalling individuals, but perhaps are more likely a balancing side in an individual's psyche as an internal protection against insanity. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Jacob Rees Mogg doesn't know any other way, he's a robot. I watched a program depicting him meeting constituents in one of his political surgeries. For everyone it was the same monotone manner of reply, and what was most apparent was just how closed his mind is. He waits for the other person...

    Fascism returns to Spain

    A few hundred! I had to quote this separately since it was so funny. London received 19 million visitors last year, many of whom stayed for a number of days. That's nearly a third of the UK population and an average of 52,000 new visitors a day, and you can add all the business people and...

    Fascism returns to Spain

    I believe the treason is in the referendum being an attempt by its own citizens to take territory from Spain. Treason against King and Country. .

    Fascism returns to Spain

    Yes, I've always known that, he's nothing other than an imposition. Not only that, his title is invalid, Wales has long been a country legally and therefore cannot be a principality so cannot have a Prince of Wales. .

    Fascism returns to Spain

    We'd buy them of course. It's this sort of regional ignorance about our city that annoys us in London so much. You are not just years behind the facts but many decades. See this post Most of the remaining London large business is international and doesn't depend on the rest of the UK...

    How to carry 8 children

    Entirely safe in their context and I love to see it. Would that we had more of the same and similar in our flatter areas, the kids love it too. It's far less boring than the family's people carrier/SUV/car and healthier for all concerned, mum, the kids and the whole community. .

    Fascism returns to Spain

    Sadiq would not want to call a referendum since he knows it would be illegal, just as the Catalan one was and is. The Spanish government should face them down and they were right to try to stop the referendum. They should have been much tougher in arresting all those who organised and backed...

    Complete eBike kit just 3.6kg weight and price £225? Surely not...

    For me there's not very much difference between very hilly and less so, but that's because I let a bike have it's head on the downhills, using the stored kinetic energy so recovering some of what was expended uphill. For those too timid to do so who slow on the downhills, the stored energy is...

    Very difficult to create a test rig for both torque controlled crank drive and rotation controlled hub motor bikes though. They are so different in the way they work. And having different levels of switched power complicates matters, we've had pedelecs with as many as nine switched power...

    There's been threads in this forum on this question a number of times in the past eleven years. None has ever got near to resolving the issue, it's an impossible question to answer when one of the power supply elements, (human) is so grossly variable and the pedelec motor systems vary so widely. .

    There we are, problem solved. Quote the following in pedelec specifications: Range: 10WH * n/(n+1), with n the assist ratio. Customers should easily understand that. :D .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Whilst I agree, I don't care what the rest of the world thinks in this respect, I just want a route out of Brexit. And so does the EU in truth. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But surely the trouble with transition is that we still won't know what Brexit is like, since the transition period will keep us within many EU conditions. .

    That didn't apply to the Quando though, it's hub motor was geared in the 20" wheel to just about reach 16 mph when the battery was freshly charged, but average 15 mph overall. It would happily trundle along on the flat at 15 mph continuously without pedalling, but always eating 24 Wh per mile...

    Conversion for Pedicab

    Brox when they made pedicabs offered two forms of electrification, and the simplest one would have suited you. It was a Heinzmann 24 volt hub motor in the small front wheel, automatically giving lower speeds, in some models fed by two large 12 volt lead-acid batteries in series. Those...

    That still wouldn't do though. The worst case and the most popular quality ebikes of 2006/7, the powerful but legal Ezee Torq and Quando models, consistently ate 24 Wh per mile when not putting in any pedal effort, even with my light circa 63 kilos and avoiding hills. Both models, 15 miles...
