If Theresa May gets thrown out in a year or two over the Brexit agreement, which is highly likely, ether David Davis, Amber Rudd, Boris Johnson or Jacob Rees Mogg will take over as caretaker. But I doubt any of those old brigade will lead the Tories into the next general election. One of the...

Unfortunately not if the test results are to be understandable to customers. As I pointed out, rider abilities and indeed moods are so variable that consistency isn't possible. Test bike "A" this week and get a result. Next week bike "B" is for test, but the first rider is on holiday so...

I can't see any point in a second referendum on the same issue but i would welcome a new referendum on the outcome of the Brexit negotiations. Basically approve, or reject and remain EU members. Corbyn/Labour having a Remain policy would have been welcome, but he's far too canny to have done...

Trouble is that what Panda claims is perfectly possible. I've personally shown that 50 miles is possible on a Kalkhoff Agattu with a 26v 10Ah battery, in the hilly North Downs at the age of 71. My average though on that bike was 35 miles, while some others often much younger subsequently only...

Thanks mostly to Trade Unions, the 1945 to 1951 Attlee Labour government, the EU and ECJ and Human Rights Act influences. Those small contributions from the Conservatives were mainly due to their need to match what was on offer elsewhere. .

Sort of. Since the government running the Brexit show doesn't have a clue what the end game is, nothing is certain. The members of that government range from Hard Brexit Boris Johnson to lets-all-be-close-friends with the EU Soft Brexit Chris Grayling. Meanwhile their supposed leader Theresa...

I agree, but I suppose national pride and costs come into the mistaken decisions. The previously very reliable Panasonic units are quite expensive and it probably goes against German instincts to use a Japanese product rather than home grown. .

I get out there in any weather in my warm and comfortable car, and at 10st 6lbs I must be getting enough exercise driving. ;) .

Although all small c conservatives, politically remainers are of course Conservatives, Labour and Lib Dem in this context, all parties wanting to remain. Thus in this context Brexiters must be at heart UKIPers, against EU membership. .

You miss the point as usual. Brexiters were and are the campaigners to leave the EU, like UKIP. Remainers were for staying with the EU and weren't campaigning for change, so voted accordingly. Ergo it's Brexit that's the against position. .

I doubt anyone can make a future for UKIP, for most it has no point in a post EU membership future. Only being against and asking people to vote against rather than for can never have a long term future. They'd have to change their name and create a whole new popular agenda to vote for to be...

I think a truly evil politician is a rarity, but politicians who sometimes cannot see that what they are doing is evil are quite common. Inevitably they get to share the epithet. .

But Catalan isn't a member of the EU until accepted as such, so their citizens would no longer have EU rights, just as we in the UK won't when we leave the EU. Brexit sticking pojnts aren't relevant since it's a negotiated departure. Catalan is proposing UDI, which would leave it in an...

Because none have made any ruling on e-bikes, so no definitive answer can be given by anyone. As A to B say, legally they are just bicycles so should be accepted, only the rare stroppy guard making their own law being a possible problem. But they cannot be forecast of course. .

I very much agree with this, it's sad that there seems no effective way to eliminate the formation or inclusion of factional parties in politics. A government formed of truly independent democratic individuals would be a wonderful thing, but human nature being what it is it would soon form into...

Excellent conversion very neatly carried out, congratulations. .

See this excellent A to B page about bikes on trains restrictions. Generally e-bikes are treated as normal bikes, but check each train company entry for details, they often have rules about folding bikes. The following is what A to B say about Electric Bikes: Electrically-assisted bikes are...

A worrying aspect for me is that Daum may have known from the outset that their motor unit had strength limitations. I mentioned in my previous post that the Daum had a strange software quirk. In practice when higher power was selected, the unit initially delivered much more for a few seconds...

Boris Johnson is highly educated but seriously lacks good judgment. All too often his desire to display his knowledge or just show off leads to his putting his foot in his mouth, then expecting to laugh off the faux pas. But one important element missing from his education is awareness that...

Though true, very many utility bikes have a headlight mounted lower down in front of the headstock, which could prevent that. .
