    If you are in the UK, would you like to quote that law? As far as I know it doesn't exist here. Test examiners have long required protective clothing or they refuse to conduct tests, but that is an abuse of authority, not backed by law. .

    E-Bikes for Children

    No, the offence only occurs when an under age person rides one, the supply isn't an offence. Also 50cycles haven't stated an age. merely referring to children which can loosely apply up to 18 years old. Of course an 8 year old can't be charged anyway, so any action would have to taken against...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Ravi's assessment shown below is exactly as I warned a long time ago in this thread: "Individually most of these countries don’t export that much to the UK, and we're seeing a hardening of attitudes,” We have to have the agreement of all 27 EU countries for whatever we ask for, and most simply...

    E-Bikes for Children

    !4 years old is the lower age limit in the UK, which effectively excludes children, since at 14 years a child becomes a "young person" in UK law. That is when a step up in legal liability applies. There's no pedelec lower age limit in most countries, so that Haibike has a large potential market. .

    A neat row of Nissan Leaf electric cars parked just outside! Sending a message? .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But if accused they will probably respond with saying the jars, caps and labels are sourced from outside the UK. And for all we know that could be true, given the complexities of manufacturing and supplies. Only yesterday I was listening to a Tale and Lyle man on this subject, them as cane...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think she's become that by default. It wouldn't have been her intention, but finding herself as PM has brought that result. Make no mistake, this is Thatcher mark 2. She's not serving anyone but herself or listening to anyone but herself. . .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    As I often point out, those going into politics do so for power. Never take any notice of them saying they want to do good, help others, work for the community etc. They do mean those things, but they are secondary to their fundamental desire for the power necessary to do those things. Hence...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    For some of them there's so many negative long term indicators now that they are keeping below the parapet. The remainder are those who are believing every word from Teresa May and think we are definitely going for hard Brexit, leaving nothing to discuss. .

    Is there a case for a Power Key for E Bikes

    Many do have, for example the Ezee e-bikes have keys that need to be inserted and turned to "on" for power. The same key turned to a different position releases the battery for removal. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Whilst true, she shouldn't be, since they are riding for a fall. The one who's lost the most is Boris Johnson. From being the darling of so many (deluded) people in this country and a potential future prime minister, the referendum result, its outcomes and his subsequent behaviour have badly...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Sadly far too many do, judged from the referendum outcome it's not far off the majority. Many leavers insisted they were not racist, but one didn't have to dig far for it to be revealed as a base motivation. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Seeing this photo and its implications really highlights the idiocy of Brexit. Back then and before, the Spanish lived in Spain and the British in Britain, and the similar went for most of the EU countries, all very simple. Now we all live and work in each other's countries in vast numbers...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's a gross exaggeration! Most of their 6 million cars production is sold elsewhere in the world, the 342,000 proportion to the UK being 5.7% on the last figures. The market fluctuates more than that! Given Germany's undoubted abilities, they will make up that small loss elsewhere, even...

    The Japanese also used to be very funny years ago, like the handbook of a camera which was supplied with a neckstrap. The handbook commenced with this: "The camera is used while hanging by the neck." They are much better now but still drop the odd clanger, like the spelling of "remaining" on...

    Labour Party - is there hypocrisy abroad?

    Now you are being silly, once again attempting to play a numbers game. You are obviously intelligent enough to have fully understood the point I was making but are determined to display it as something that it's not. I'm not playing so will leave you to your views. .
