    Review Woosh Rio MTB Review/Initial Impressions

    Yes, they arrived yesterday. I don't think we'll go as far as disassembling it. Your controller still has the FETs functioning, I will check for brake sensing, PAS sensing, throttle function and compare the programmed parameters against those on the test bike. Our main interest is to improve...

    yes, but the E8000 is soo... expensive that I will stick with Bafang MaxDrive for the moment. I don't know how you manage the cost though, it makes me wanna cry. PS: I deleted the pictures because it's your thread. Didn't want to pollute it. Apology.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    In a way, I much prefer the cultural EU to the SM, the economic EU and yet, participating in the SM we must. at present, wages across the EU vary as much as 300%-400%. That causes mass migration and too much EU interference with local decision making process.

    that is why I support soft brexit.

    that is not the case. I much prefer slow economic growth and slow pace of change. That's not possible while staying inside the EU.

    that's a question I don't find an answer for. My family is spread between France and Germany and I made my life in the UK. Yet, I yearn to keep France, Germany and UK the way they were.

    the EU has a clear stated aim: an ever closer union. A federated state. There are plenty of people who prefer the UK to be an independent state, not merged with others.

    You should really check out how much EU laws get imported into EFTA countries.

    soft brexit is just an associate membership. We want to trade but don't want to merge with the rest.

    EFTA has its own court of justice.

    I disagree. These undesirable elements have always been in our society, staying in the EU won't make them disappear. brexit is more about taking back control, not about 'grandiose delusions'.

    soft brexit: retain EFTA membership. Pay reduced fee but participate in the single market. transitional period = retain EFTA membership only for the duration of the transitional period, exiting to hard brexit but likely after concluding a free trade deal with the EU. The tories will dress...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I didn't say that we will simply walk out. I am saying that the tories will do whatever it takes to hold on to power. There is no brownie points to get out of the EU without a deal, the current government will collapse if that happens because parliament won't tolerate a 'no deal' outcome. If...

    are you saying that our infrastructure, law and order, will simply collapse after brexit?

    I don't think water ingress is an issue anymore, baring some very exceptional circumstances. Water induced faults are result of damaged containers, ie, cracks in battery casing or gasket or around the cable entry. Statistically, that will continue to happen. Most of the time, electrical faults...

    there is no reason for a trade war. As soon as we agree on the bill, a deal is going to happen, and will develop over time like with Switzerland. Any delay, we'll collect more on duty than the EU. Don't forget, at present, we remit something like 80% of the duty to the EU.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't think you are correct. The tories will do whatever necessary to hold on to power, if soft brexit delivers a majority in parliament then they will have soft brexit and fiddle with it later. JC is consistent but I don't think he will ever win over the majority in my lifetime and he is also...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    how about Big Money decides that brexit is exactly what suits them best, unrestricted capitalism, low tax, low import duty, generous non-domiciled regime, easy money laundering? The tories will pay the EU, have a 3 years transitional period and win the next election by default.

    the amount of money is not large in comparison to the amount of trade we do with the EU in 10, 20, 50 years and/or membership fees. The EU will do a free trade deal eventually, in time, the issue is between now and then.
