This is our fundamental difference, I have no ambition for the UK to be a global player, since in this world of giants I see that as wholly unrealistic. I'm prepared to hold on for the EU to be the global player. Its northern countries and some eastern bloc ones are already strong enough...

But once again, no leave proponents said there would be any cost, they all claimed exactly the opposite, a very big saving. Now we know there will be a large cost and no savings for many years. There's a substantial chance that we will be permanently worse off. Brexit is a bit like the...

Yes but both pages are active and the latest one omits the throttle mention from that list, so presumably an editing correction. Some of the dealers have a habit of not deleting old pages, many have active pages for stuff they haven't handled for years, even long discontinued bikes. .

That's an older link, comes up in the browser as this: http://electric-bike-store.co.uk/shop/product_info.php/cPath/23/products_id/5252 The link you posted earlier was apparently a later one, ending 5257: http://electric-bike-store.co.uk/shop/product_info.php/cPath/23/products_id/5257 And...

I can't see any mention of throttle or PAS in the description on the link you give? .

Let's hope so this time! I can't remember how many years it was that we first heard this announced, but it does seem that it will finally happen soon. .

Apart from an early entry with an add-on electric motor in Germany long ago, Britain in the form of England was a pioneer in electric assist complete e-bikes in the 1980s, a few small companies making attempts then. But as so often with new ideas, we let this slide making no advances while...

Raleigh pedelecs are made in The Netherlands and Germany by bike brands belonging to the two big Dutch cycle groups, Accell and Pon Holdings. As d8veh says, Raleigh is just a brand name used on various bikes, and no longer a specific make. .

I'm the same, I couldn't care less what other people ride or do, but many if not most are not like that. It's a psychological issue with many facets. Some sad souls see someone else doing something different as an implied criticism of what they are doing, so they get angry. Others are so...

Weight is the problem though, of necessity folding e-bikes generally range from 18 to 25 kilos. The lower weight ones are the least bike like, those feeling like a proper bike to ride tend to be the larger, heavier ones. A to B magazine, which incorporates The Folder magazine, test them and...

There is already proof that you are right Mike. The first popular iteration of pedals with power was in the 1930s and post war with the autocycles. No roadie ever muttered a word against the riders for two reasons, first they weren't called bicycles or thought of as bikes, second they didn't...

I don't think it elitist, more a matter of the purity of the human effort involved in cycling, and the achievement involved. Using an auxilliary motor to cycle is to them akin to athletes using drugs to enhance performance. Both are cheating. The basis of the problem is them seeing what we do...

On this you are completely wrong. Those who spent the most time interfacing with the public nationwide during the active referendum period and beyond have been quite emphatic about the dominance of immigration in voting intentions, and that remains true now. The evidence is overwhelmingly in...

I wouldn't disagree with most of this on a factual basis, but we are dealing with a public who often don't listen and tend to ignore facts. What has always influenced them far more on the immigration issue is what they see around them, and that will not perceptibly change. There is no way they...

The Shimano 7 speed gear hub is an old design that's not very efficient, small cogs and all the gears being indirect. I think the only reason they've kept it on the market is as a cheaper alternative, but if you're buying a new bike the saving is very small. It's best to aim for their much...

I've just been listening to an edition of "The Westminster Hour" and once again heard MPs saying that immigration was overwhelmingly the main issue voters brought up with them. This confirms everything I've heard and experienced on the subject previously, and I think it cannot be denied as...

Since all the current research into autonomous cars has been heavily safety biased, especially since some highly publicised accidents with prototypes, I suspect almost nothing is known about a more aggressive approach. So it would probably be even more boring than the current hybrid formula one...

The second part of this isn't necessarily true. The Great Repeal Bill passes into UK law a large number of past measures which contain references to various EU bodies including the ECJ as being the arbiters in certain circumstances. It follows that we will still be subject until such time as...
