    Does it charge whist pedaling

    Even less. For the quoted 200 watts output of the motor, it's drawing more like 280 watts from the battery, since the motor is not 100% efficient. .

    Warranties

    They are not normally transferable, only applying to the original purchaser. Some companies have provisions for transfering a warranty, subject to safeguards. For example the Wisper warranty is transferable if the sale goes through a Wisper dealer. I assume that is a safeguard to ensure the...

    Ta Rah Mercedes Smart Designer e-bike

    Since Izzyekerslike only kept it a very short time before opting for something else, I suppose IED could stand for Interim Electric Drive. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No. The NHS is incredibly inefficient, wasting vast sums of money. This would just make it even easier for them to squander more. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It certainly seems that way, and if so, the Brexit vote might just amount to voluntarily giving up our rebate. That would really amuse the 27 EU members! .

    The Jurban. Could this be the new way to travel electric?

    They can't be registered, there's no class they fit into so are automatically banned from any use in an area accessible to the general public. Apart from a number of items that cannot reach the required standards, the absence of a seat bars it. .

    Possibly not. After all his work in Europe maybe the French could award him a Légion d'Honneur, though maybe at the lowest level of Knight. ;) .

    Depends what it's for. If it's for his services to the breweries industry, richly deserved. .

    Can I book UK train tickets online with a cycle reservation?

    I don't personally have an answer, but A to B's website has a lot of excellent information of using train services with bikes, covering all the operating companies. The top two links in the page linked to below covers both restrictions and a travel guide and may contain what you need for the...

    Yes it was Tom, just using the simple division in error. The true figure just makes the contrast between the taxes back then and those now all the worse. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Well spotted. No, the natural world of the UK is my main subject these days and it just occurred to me that Pisaura mirabilis (Nursery Web Spider) had received more than enough exposure. Since this is the main fungi time of the year, a clump of Mycena crocata (Saffron Drop Bonnet) seemed...

    A mix of borrowing and tax creep. At one not so long ago time tax as it affected the person was simple, it was income tax and purchase tax on goods bought, plus some excise duties. VAT was the first example of tax creep of course, extending purchase tax to a far wider range of goods, and also...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    A return to the halcyon days when the UK government could freely abuse its subjects civil and human rights without the EU stopping them doing that. It's got a name, its called sovereignty. .

    Question for the manufacturers

    And not just Halfords. it's true of the whole UK cycle trade. For many years bikes and cars sold at the almost identical 2 millions of each every year, but in recent years bikes with 3 millions have outsold cars by around 40 to 50%. So if the bikes were being used there would be far more bikes...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    So would I be if I didn't have other interests. This afternoon I've been out fungi spotting and photographing for our society's web site, we look after and maintain the local nature reserve since our typically hard up council can no longer do it. While out I also spread a load of woodchip on a...
