in order of priority: 1. Recover 100% sovereignty, ie not having to accept EU directives. 2. Control EU immigration But I think we may have to accept 50% of those targets.

the last one costs £135 mil, not counting spending by their parties. but it's less than 0.1% of the divorce bill. Lawyers charge much more than that to divorce your wife.

in last night's HardTalk program, Belgian deputy PM Alexander de Croo made the point that the British government does nothing since triggering A50. That's 12% of the negotiation time. It seems to me that the tories have not got a clue how to proceed or even what they actually want. Rumour has it...

it will work but you will also shorten the life of the battery.

BikeBase in Southend sells a lot of wisper and Haibikes. They are about 100 yards up the road from us. Southend is an hour train ride from London Liverpool St or Fenchurch St. A lot of our customers are from London. If you come to see us Southend, I have a few commuter bikes you could try...

none of them does. (when compared to my bikes).;) I like the clean lines and good finish of the vanmoof though.

the OP is typical of many of my customers. They collect lots of bits of information but they are all jumbled up. He is still unclear how to get more / the most out of it beside getting fitter.

I vote for the vanmoof.

yes, plenty. He only needs a higher torque multiplier on his Bosch bike. Any bike that has a higher multiplier factor than 3 or is not limited to a fixed factor can potentially solve his problem.

I did the calculation assuming MP 26" x 1.5" tyres, bike + rider = 100kgs.

by their tattoos?

I am not convinced that big is beautiful. I am rather attracted by the idea of 'small and light'. d8veh has a thread on the Xiongda YTW-06 motor, I may make a 13-15kg bike next year with it.

A crank drive motor is a geared motor placed at the chainring so that it can leverage on the gearset to extend its capabillty. Thus it can climb a bit steeper hills or ride a bit faster. Take the CX for example, you can hold on to 28mph if derestricted. Geared hub motors like the Bafang BPM or...

Yes. don't worry about that. When the motor stalls, the controller will reduce its current. crank drive motors run at nearly their best at maximum torque. Only about 20% will be wasted as heat.

Bosch do define the way they measure their motors' torque. It's the same as with Bafang, Bewo, Tonsheng and others. The full listing is here: https://www.bosch-ebike.com/en/components/drive-unit/ If you want to compare the climbing ability of a Bosch motor against a rear geared hub motor...

it seems that about 40%-45% of the electorate still like the promise of a tax cut or do not want to vote for higher taxes. That's why I like the Labour manifesto. Restoring CT to previous levels and taking a little more from people who are paid more than 150k a year are the best ways to raise taxes.

if only. I use the forum to promote my bikes but it is not the only reason to post. What matters more to me is the critiques. They challenge me to produce products better suited to the needs of the many and still to a budget.

some do behave like children although they are old enough to get their state pension.

In London, they'll nick even a £5 QR skewer or a £20 saddle if you leave your bike in a public place. the battery locks on most e-bikes are quite flimsy. I wouldn't want to leave a £500-£700 battery advertising a £3k bike for long. I would suggest you look at bikes with in-frame battery. At a...

the tories deploys that WMD that is Mr Gove on TV this morning. I wonder whom the Labour party is going to put up to oppose Mr Gove. Chuka?
