We'll be selling all ours once Brexit really bites! .

You're in Iozw, riding on Upper Broadmoor Road. Map Link .

True, but this was also reported earlier: "Australia has called for a free-trade deal with Britain as soon as possible, in a boost for the newly appointed prime minister, Theresa May. In a phone call on Saturday, May spoke to her Australian counterpart, Malcolm Turnbull, who expressed his...

Yes of course, but the Australians have been making the moves so no doubt which way they see the flow. I see hardly anything that we could possibly sell to them, especially considering their proximity to all the Oriental markets and the Americas. .

They have expressed interest in doing a trade deal, and that very high value product could easily be at the core of that. Much of their other export production isn't viable, since we won't be importing coal much longer, or iron and other metal ores for that matter. That just leaves meat which...

Probably since there were power upgrades, though I've heard of problems following them. We once had a member in Australia, forum name Tex, who was a BionX fan and had these three: Bionx 350PL Cannondale F700 MTB Bionx 500HS Cannondale X800 Cyclocross Bionx 500HS DuraAce 9speed Bike Friday...

Uranium fuel, there's currently a 73% deficit in our uranium supply for fuelling our power stations which will have to be resolved, especially as we are set on a nuclear generation future. I believe we don't currently buy from them, but Australian ore is a major source of "yellowcake" and the...

With the software upgrade it should be 250 watts. BionX range is only 250, 250H, 350 and 500 watts. The original 200 watts on the Smart will only have been a software detune of the 250 to comply with the UK's 200 watt EAPC law at that time, since changed to 250 watts. .

Great idea for pedelecs, maybe only in flat areas for unpowered bikes, given the added weight. Supermarkets might be suspicious that things could be left in the bottom and not checked out. .

No wonder a French city hasn't hosted the Summer Olympics since 1924, all the rowing 8 teams would need an over 9hp permit now. :( .

Not sure what comment you had in mind, but our strictness in these traffic matters has been the same out and in the EU. Brexit won't make any difference in this area. After 44 years of EU law it's reckoned that the civil service will be so bogged down in Brexit once they start the process, we...

Trouble is that the demand is for a bicycle that can be pedalled as well but having the 28 mph capability. Hence the S class existence, despite capable machines like the FEDDZ. There'll never be any peace on this subject until the DfT permit the S class here in the UK. Even then many will be...

Unfortunately even if the DfT relent and we get the S class in the UK, it looks like it will still mean a driving licence is needed on the latest evidence. In addition to the P category licence for mopeds up to 31 mph (50kph), they've now added the category AM driving licence for up to 28 mph...

Member jkirkebo lives in Fredrikstad, Norway and has reported no cold problems in his many posts. He first had a Giant which he fitted with an Ezee kit fitted, later changing to an Ezee Forza which he praised highly. In April 2008 member slowfeet long ago sent us a dramatic photo of him with...

But the Bentleys are completely German made and designed, the parts shipped over and usually assembled in England, except for one model often completely made in Germany. Oh and Dave, you'll really be upsetting the Scots, theirs is whisky, the whiskey you've mentioned is Irish! It's all in the...

I can't be that optimistic. I think it's inevitable that we will lose in a number of ways and be worse off once there's a trade settlement with the EU. We will have lost our rebate and the EU will certainly not allow us any gains, being nervous about other dissatisfied members who are...

And it's the truth. They are referring to dongles and saying as much, which double the crank bikes assist speed limit and will assist to 30 mph and beyond. I don't like the Daily Mail, but we shouldn't blame them for reporting what is our fault, the many pedelecers using dongles. If we all...

Yes, the point has been made earlier that pedelecs have no speed limit, only an assist limit. .

Yes, I've often seen those comments too. Once again as I posted above we can blame the legislators. Not classifying EAPCs (pedelecs) as a form of motor vehicle and regarding them as still being bicycles set the scene for this. Those same cyclists didn't react similarly to the old autocycles...

The legislators appear to be bipolar on this subject: On the one hand they understandably believe that anything motorised and capable of over natural human speed should be subject to licencing controls. On the other hand they want to treat pedelecs as bicycles, as if they weren't motorised...
