    Brexit, for once some facts.

    that may be difficult because we are more pressed for time than they are. Also, until our offer includes honouring our share of the RAL, I don't think the EU is going to be interested.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    but they usually don't because derogations reflect badly on members seeking them and injured commercial interests can always seek redress from the ECJ. The fundamental problem has always been redistribution of wealth. It is difficult to do this within the UK, try to get UK citizens to spread...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    any government facing a recession will need people to spend more of their money, so rich people can expect tax cut and other incentives to encourage investment. Consequently, the poorer you are, the greater percentage is your loss. That will be equally true even if Mr Corbyn becomes PM.

    Advice on kit suitability for Bergamont Mtb

    Good point! I forgot to think about that. If it were my bike, I would make a 3D printed harness to avoid adding one or two M5 rivnuts to the downtube. It should be straghtforward. The pedal sensor is easy to sort out with a 3D printed holder. If you are talking about my kit, it comes with 48V...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    this government is more interested in its internal fight than negotiating with the EU. It is paralysed, unable to make up its mind what future it is looking for. Soon, sometime around March, it will be forced into accepting what the EU is willing to offer: a Canada CETA type deal, no tariff for...

    New to Pedelecs and with 2 new Gocycle GS

    of course I am not a neutral observer, I am an interested observer. You make me regret already taking part in this thread. I have nothing against Gocycle, only against d8veh's comment about going over the legal speed limit in post #2. As for the bet of building a better bike for the money...

    New to Pedelecs and with 2 new Gocycle GS

    Hi Peter, You know that comment was for d8veh with whom I have had many technical discussions with over the years. It should not be taken in the context of me suggesting there are better value for money products in direct competition with your Gocycle. The 16" e-bike market is a niche market...

    the water issue affects the LCD, batteries and connectors. Mid drive motors are also at risk because of the height and location of the bottom bracket, hub motors are usually far less at risk. While water entering the bottom bracket shell is not a problem for normal bikes, for mid drive bikes...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the size of the bill itself is not a problem, we know it is`roughly around 50-60 billion Euros, that will cover everything including the RAL up to2021. As I see it, we'll have to pay that bill anyway. there may be a wigging room of about 10-15 billion euros if we argue the bill for a few...

    Recommend me a conversion kit

    £499 with 13AH battery, £549 with 15AH battery, £25 for a new battery rack. Usually, check the bottom bracket if there is enough room for a left side pedal sensor, easier to fit than a right side conventional PAS. Check the brake levers, the kit comes with plain vanilla sensored levers.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    in the news: Antonio Tajani said "Brexit bill should be ‘at least €60 billion’". He also suggests that the EU's budget should be double what it is. There are plenty more big spenders where he comes from. https://www.politico.eu/article/antonio-tajani-brexit-bill-60-billion-euros/

    what is he supposed to be trained to do? how long do you think a well trained guy needs to diagnose correctly a motor that does not turn on?
