    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it will get a bit worse before it gets better. At least until March 19.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the situation is not sordid. We have an opportunity to do well and possibly better outside the EU, albeit with a fairly high price tag.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    that's what the pollsters try to find out. So far, it's still somewhere in the 52-48. it has always been the case of caveat emptor. Cameron was warned many times before offering the EU referendum and again before settling the date. BTW, even if Cameron had set a threshold, the 'mandate' or...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    that is usually the poorest expression of democracy but on issues like the EU's freedom of movement, the only way to come to a conclusion.

    I disagree. D8veh is foremost an engineer, not a silver-tongued salesman or politician. He can be abrasive but a bully he is not.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    my daughter in law is soon seconded to dexu - thousands of civil servants will join dexu from all departments for a few years to sort out brexit.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    whatever your view on this, OG, our system has a non-mandate for our MPs to form a government but most MPs will see referendums as mandates from the people.

    soft brexit: leaving the single market but remaining in the EU customs union.

    Is there any good reason not to buy a Greenway E16M106?

    I use the car once a week, I use my pedelec every day. (I ride every day to the post office only 300 yards from our shop because the bike has a front basket).

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the BSA (British Social Attitude) found a strong correlation between vote leave and 'concern over immigration' and 'old school leavers'. The reality is that our parliament is pro EU but mandated to carry out the referendum result. There is only one way to solve this conundrum: a soft brexit.

    Most powerful eBike for long uphill journeys?

    then you are about 18% fitter than EddiePJ. With a CD torque multiplier system, the faster you can drain the battery, the fitter you are.

    Most powerful eBike for long uphill journeys?

    You should take a close look at EddiePJ's run from Lauterbrunnen to Wengen to see how powerful the CX motor is and how hard you have to work to squeeze the last pip out of it. https://www.strava.com/activities/656138180 6.3 miles, 1250m elevation, 1h 14 minutes. My estimate: potential energy...

    Review Woosh Rio MTB Review/Initial Impressions

    1V - 1.1V drop for first 4.4 miles: that's about right, so far so good. can you please keep going without recharge a couple of days to ramp up the miles? I don't know if the LCD learn anything but I do!

    Most powerful eBike for long uphill journeys?

    In all the documentations I have read on the subject, I have never come across any mention of a function using the gear number in determining the assist ratio. It has always been a simple function (*1,*2, *2.5 *3) of the amount of energy that the user inputs. The information on the selected gear...

    yes, last time I checked.

    Most powerful eBike for long uphill journeys?

    The system works as a torque multiplier. when you shift down a gear, eg from 26T to 24T, you decrease the ratio front to rear by 8%, the motor increases your cadence by 8% as a result, reduces the required torque for you by 8% - you can feel this immediately after changing gear, and reduces also...

    Review Woosh Rio MTB Review/Initial Impressions

    the accuracy increases with the travelled miles. It does not matter if you check it at 23 miles instead of 20, just add the extra drops for 3 after the 20. It should let you go all the way to 40 miles and still have some juice left in the tank.

    Review Woosh Rio MTB Review/Initial Impressions

    Volusia, if you check the voltage, the discharge curve shape is an 'S' shape, the drop in the first few miles is something like 0.27V per mile, then the middle section less, 0.23V per mile and the bottom section steeper again, like 0.27V per mile. discharge curve for Samsung 18650-29E cells...

    zlatan, if you weigh 100kgs and your bike 20kgs, you ride up a hill for 9 miles, gaining 3000ft (900m) elevation, here is the required potential energy: E = mgh = (100+20) * 9.98 * 900 / 3600 WH = 300WH Adding to this, your bike needs some 12WH * 9 = 108WH for the roads. Total: 408WH It will...
