Are you mad? ;) That will never happen! Why? See below: Replies: 8,634 Views: 128,179 Sites depend on advertising and advertising revenues depend of traffic. No other thread in here comes vaguely close to generating such traffic. .

Less than £3 per head of population per week over the 44 years of membership. A bargain for the social and legal benefits alone that we received from the EU. .

I don't recognise this as one of the Panasonic unit Lafrees since none I met had a buzzer. Is it one of the early SLA battery ones? .

Unfortunately it's very illegal. To be legal a pedelec has to have functional usable pedals, and since January must have the power controlled by the pedalling. No pedalling, no power. .

Don't worry. The way the EN15194 regulation specifies the power rating of pedelec motors allows for peak powers hugely in excess of the legal continuous maximum rating figure of 250 watts. Those you mention are all EU and UK legal and will not be challenged by the authorities since all are...

Two thirds of my e-bikes have had independently acting throttles. .

But I didn't italicise in asking the question. :) Seriously though, Google needs to sort this, their usage is very misleading and at odds with common practice. The EU is internationally understood to be the 28 member countries alone. .

That's even more odd. I earlier asked population of the EU, and Google replied 742 millions., and now says 743* to the same question. But using the full name instead of the initials returns 508. It seems Google thinks the EU is the whole of Europe! * That's one heck of a population growth...

And still the high celebrity death toll this year continues. It's just been announced that film star Debbie Reynolds has died from a stroke while preparing for the funeral of her daughter Carrie Fisher who had just died. .

Asking Google for the population of the EU typically gets such an answer. I've just repeated that and got 742 millions. Both figures are wildly wrong. The 2015 figures by 28 member countries and total of 508 millions can be seen on this link. The EU's own population is in fact quite...

I didn't decide you were an internet troll because you disagreed with me, many disagree with me in here but I don't regard them as trolls. For example, I have the greatest respect for Tillson who is a highly valued forum member while being an ardent Brexiter, as you must have seen in this...

Perhaps not so unbelievable, here's an example. .

When in doubt, buy both. That way there's no regrets later. .

A key reason to have one that's often claimed is that one can instantly swap a bike from normal to pedelec or back again, according to one's mood. A classic answer to a problem that doesn't exist, the number of people who would want to do that must be negligible. .

The all-in integrated front wheel has been "invented" a number of times in recent years, the newest ones often controlled from a smartphone. Clearly the "inventors" aren't doing their marketing research first. But all of them fail. Too much weight in the front wheel centre, often inadequate...

I'm keeping fit, this morning lugging around half a tonne of shingle and a half cubic meter of woodchip, doing some path repairs in our nature reserve. I'd have done more but it was bit too cold on my hands today. Doing this during November/December I've lifted over 30 tonnes on this project...

They vary due to a number of factors, mine is faster than that. Reasons: My 65 kilos, bike has controller capable of delivering over 28 Amps, rear hub motor is in 20" wheel. .

Why do you never read what I post? To repeat, I've no idea what Osborne has been saying on this issue. .

I'm not worried because I've never been a celebrity in my own mind. Having been dumped on this earth, of necessity without being asked, I just try to make the best of my stint. I had my philosophy of life established by age 20, and ever since then have said this about the subject of my death...

2016 really is getting to be a dangerous year for celebrities, two more deaths on today's news. Richard Adams, author of Watership Down. Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia in the Star Wars films. .
