    Most powerful eBike for long uphill journeys?

    in physics, the rolling resistance is proportional to the square root of sinkage depth divided by the wheel diameter. Sinkage is less if you run your tyres at higher pressure.

    1st ebike conversion road bike or MTB with skinny tires? which starter for 20 mile commute each way

    I am going to use the Bafang torque sensor in the revised Woosh Bermuda. It will have an optional throttle in case your legs are too tired. Weight is not too much of a problem because it replaces the normal bottom bracket.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If CT is such an essential consideration, companies would have moved the HQ to places like Isle of Man, Guernsey, BVI. In reality, only companies owned by expat billionaires would do this, most PLCs don't run away from high rates of CT because they issue tax vouchers with dividend payments for...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the amount of fish we allow to EU fishermen in the convention is tiny in any case. 10,000 tonnes, £16 million worth compared to UK landing of 708,000 tonnes. The UK fishing industry is tiny too, worth less than £1 billion a year.

    this year, that will be 15-17 Sept, La Courneuve, Paris. My daughter lives in Paris, so kind of killing 2 birds with one stone.

    that reminds me of 'Fête de l'Humanité' that I used to go to in Paris. May go again this year for old time sake. http://fete.humanite.fr/

    There is no better way than brexit to make us realize how the world has moved on since Queen Victoria. Time to put our pre-eminence to the test.

    can you imagine a situation where she will be shocked by the proof that she needs the EU in her life?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    in the last 45 years that we are in the EU, politicians do not like to say how much we depend on the EU for our economy. We create the mistrust in voters like that QT woman. OG, if you were an MP, you will see that. Yes, there is a mandate from people like her to get out of the EU and yet, you...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't think that woman on QT at 23min30s cares a hoot for treaties if you ask her should we stay in or get out. The fact is politicians need her vote. What would you do if you were a politician? How will you win her vote?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    To most people, accepting the rule of law is the same as accepting the decision handled down by the highest court. Therefore, it seems logical that if we/you accept the superiority of the ECJ, we/you are ruled by their judges - whom we do not vote for. Only 2 of those judges are Brits, the rest...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    sorry, I got mixed up a little bit. I started thinking of answering the point about the 'Will of the people' - my starting point is that this will is based essentially on the popularity of the nationalist view that if we accept the ECJ, we accept their rule. As we shall not be ruled by the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    OG & KTM, I watched Question Time last Thursday. The audience came from Hastings. One 50-ish woman in the audience put up her hand to give her view on brexit. 'Did you vote?' No but for hundreds of years, this country is best at everything. We joined up with others and it's a load of rubbish...

    take a look at this Kudos Sprint: https://www.kudoscycles.com/product_info.php?cPath=1&products_id=349 It is lightweight and good value. I have an ex demo bike that looks very similar to this one but with crank drive motor.

    Don't blame TM for her intransigence on pulling out of the ECJ. Most people won't want the ECJ to have superiority over our own courts. If you can make the general public see sense on this question, brexit would probably have never happened.

    that has probably something to do with the Brits refusing to carry any kind of official ID card and yet, they carry happily a wallet full of credit cards, club membership cards etc. All the ID card needs to have is a pin and an encrypted link to their passport application file.

    Woosh Gale power cutting out & display issue

    that's good. Your battery should be back to where it was. You need to remove the battery to grease the contacts. If you have not removed the battery for a long time, air/rain pollutants will glue the plastic base to the plastic bottom of the battery. Don't pull the battery by the handle just...
