    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It cannot be, since our positions are not far from equal. That means the punishment we suffer is all ours, but the punishment the EU suffers is divided by 27. Even their worst affected, Germany, has already shown in 2008/9 that it can shrug off the loss and has also said as much. The pain...

    Yes, you do! Ok, I do as well, but I'm probably just about to buy a second 4 x 4, one can never have too many and this one will be even bigger. Cue concerted groans from cyclists. :D .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm sorry that you are stubbornly sticking to this fantasy, it's not typical of your usual rational self. The wider public have had ten months of solid Brexit and they are frankly sick of the subject and waste no time on it, or on the tiny minority discussing it They have their own concerns...

    DLR.de developed fuel cell for e-cargo

    From Wikipedia: In a flame of pure hydrogen gas, burning in air, the hydrogen (H2) reacts with oxygen (O2) to form water (H2O) and releases energy. 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(g) (If carried out in atmospheric air instead of pure oxygen (as is usually the case), hydrogen combustion may yield small...

    Nonsense, the wider community aren't even discussing this matter. They have many other issues of much greater interest, namely the things that affect themselves. As ever, self-interest rules. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I repeat, that is not true. The sequence of events on this issue I've followed throughout and it is exactly as I've stated. The many thousands of EU workers here who have become nervous became so immediately upon the referendum result and clearly said so. They weren't before, since they...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This is untrue, Remain supporters have not been promoting this story. The origins are entirely among the EU nationals themselves working here, who were shocked and disappointed by the referendum result and became alarmed about their status. They have been repeatedly reassured by our...

    As an S pedelec with bigger capacity battery for the speed and a decent range combination I'm betting it would stay nearer the 80 kg than 60 kg. Add average person with a few kilos of shopping and a 20% or steeper could be tough with a more typical 1000 watt peak. .

    In the overseas (channel...) category

    I agree, much better than the Elf and I really like the design. Since it will obviously be heavy with hills affecting it badly, it would be best as an L1e-A, pedelec assist speed rules but 1000 Watt rating permitted. As an S pedelec it could only be 500 Watt rated so the weight would be a...
