You're in now Tigerbay, riding on Ystrad Road. Members have to be entered by an editor, since if there was open access, somone could wreck the map by deletions or moves of others. Map Link .

They were excellent with the Panasonic motor and once the software had been revised, their Impulse 1 unit was fine too. But the more powerful Impulse 2 unit has had an unacceptable failure rate, unacceptable because even replaced units have failed, sometime to three of four times on the same...

I do often try to help others in a wide variety of circumstances and have decades of voluntary work behind me. But in this level crossing incident I wouldn't have intervened. The basis for saying that is that anyone who won't wait for a level crossing phase is very impatient, and in my...

While I wholeheartedly agree with you over the NHS management wastage and almost all of our useless politicians, I disagree on the expenditure. Sometimes the courage to spray money one hasn't got is the answer. Some examples: Take France, in a mess and broke post war. Despite that they set...

Lithium batteries are best regularly used, if in storage unused for long periods without a regular charge they can fail. A top up charge every two months during any idle time will preserve them. That said, a two year life isn't uncommon with some of these lithium batteries, especially with low...

It's the Hacklemesh Weaver spider, Amaurobius ferox, sometimes called the Black Lace Weaver spider Here's a link to a photo for comparison. .

If you were a bona fide manufacturer, and your design was advertised and supplied as being intended for off-road use, it would appear so on the limited information so far. .

No. Type Approval is for manufacturers and only applies to their products. Strictly speaking when one is modified it loses that status and becomes an individual vehicle, subject to IVA (Individual Vehicle Approval) which is carried out by the Vehicle Inspectorate at test centres. They will...

I've put the Whitepaper PDF on my website now, anyone can download it from this link. .

I have a similar situation where I live Tom. The housing area straddles the parishes of Addington and Selsdon, but those living on the Addington side insist on wrongly referring to themselves as living in Selsdon. The associations that prompt that are that there is a New Addington (still...

Oh dear, as Jack Oortwijn remarks, this could so easily trigger abuse. Of course our future position in the UK is unclear at present with Brexit, though I expect us to continue to follow these EU regulations for a long time. .

I doubt Stevenage really deserves this honour! :D .

I think it's an awful design. Wheels too small for many road conditions, dual disc brakes on the rear wheel and no brake on the front wheel alone make it fundamental unsafe. I'm betting it's quite heavy too, something they avoid mentioning. .

Probably typical of their more right wing MPs. In a program showing Jacob Rees Mogg seeing constituents in a surgery, he was as uncompromisingly uninterested in anything they had to say that didn't match his views. .

Plausible, but no. The reason spokes break is that wheels are poorly built. Even in a very high load situations like that rear wheel on my small bike, ordinary 14 gauge spokes are more than adequate when all the spoke tensions are correct so they equally share the load. In addition to all...

No, this one carries heavy rear weights and tows a large trailer. The wheel is built with standard 14 gauge spokes and is heavily dished, but has never suffered a broken spoke. .

Fits well with nearby Wallington and average UKIP supporter IQ. .

Solex have almost done that already, just as they did many years ago with the petrol powered Velosolex. The e-versions are on this link, not to all tastes though and some using the BionX motor, not the best of choices. .

Perhaps we should get our journalists from Sierra Leone. One of their newspapers has just described their government like this: "They are as useless as a pair of sunglasses for a blind man with one ear". Brilliant, much better journalism than the Daily Mail's! .

Often when we advise newcomers to try before buying, we remark on how different systems can be. Nowhere is this more so than in crank drives versus hub motor, and it really is a "Marmite" issue for many. Some cannot stand one or the other. The Bosch as a crank drive while good is no different...
