SAAB never sold enough, regardless of who was in charge. Making 4000 or less per model per annum was never going to be viable long term. .

I've clicked your "Funny" for you to add to my one on Danidl's post. .

Once again this latest outrage is committed by an outsider, a man from Wales who even hired the vehicle there. Previous attacks have been by men from the West Midlands and Bedfordshire, even Scotland, and one who was currently in London had spent most of his life elsewhere. I wish they'd keep...

Agreed, but the more extreme the usage the less useful it is as information for the majority. If you were to review an ebike and report your sort of range, virtually all those buying on the basis of your review would be seriously unhappy! .

Latest news is the fire brigade attended the fridge fire on the fourth floor and extinguished it. Later other fire fighters saw the flames outside the block, spreading upwards. There's further details on a special Panorama program on BBC1 at 8.30 this evening. .

Yes, but as you've said, much of the time you are not e-biking, you are cycling. That's fine, but it's very far from typical. The great bulk of e-bikers use around 12 Wh per mile as our ten years of surveying of members has shown. The ranges most quote also show that. .

If you've got a late chemist in the area, ask the pharmacist for a powerful painkiller like tramadol or co-codamol. Though normally on prescription they will often oblige. If not there's overnight services online for tramadol. Also try an anti-inflammatory like Ibuprofen which can also...

Yes, it is a volume measure, but as such best suited to material that can fill a volume, such as liquid. Boot litres were suitable when I carried bags of shingle which conformed to the space, but little use otherwise. .

The Kallkhoff Agattu and Pro Connect bicycles were and still are very good bikes, good design and build quality. And when they decided to make electric versions back in 2007, they used the excellent series 2 Panasonic 26 volt crank unit. The outcome were two of the best e-bikes ever to hit the...

Best to just think in quantity terms, just as we do with cars, such as 30 mpg. Average e-bike consumption is 12 W/h per mile, shown by our many surveys over the years. So if you've got a 480 W/h battery and you're an average rider in moderate territory, you can get about 40 miles range...

I would hope so, a litre is a liquid measure. By the same virtue a gallon of apples is no easier to judge. .

Until you strap it on your carrier. :( .

Not so sure, could end up like shoes, size 11 wide fit or size 11 narrow fit etc. I think only an improvement in schools teaching is necessary. The public understand gallons and litres, Watt/hours are the electricity equivalent and no more difficult, just a quantity. I daresay there will be...

I'm quite sure boredom with the subject is setting in with the bulk of the population. But that is very dangerous of course, since it leaves the politicians free to complete any sort of Brexit, however bad. .

Total elimination of the human race, that would solve all the planet's problems and enable it to return to health. .

Don't be too hasty, it could be ash dieback. .

You deliberately look for an imaginary downside, those are only initial payments, the rest of the allocated money is to replace their stuff when they get a new home, not for hotel costs which are being covered.. And as I forecast previously, the government is in addition going to cover all...

In a sense it does, since from about our early to mid 20s the number of cells we replace falls below the count of those dying. At first a tiny deficit, the gap gradually grows until it reaches a huge deficit in later years, and ultimately death when not enough is left to sustain life. It's an...

Wasn't that steak and chips, explaining where Shergar had got to? .

These Hobby Horses were the original bicycles, invented by Baron Carl Von Drais in 1817 the Hobby Horse is considered the ancestor of the modern cycle. .
