    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It seems the British Standards Institute is ignoring Brexit and wishes for us to set our own regulations: New EU legislation is scheduled to be introduced from the 1st September 2016, which lays the framework for all door sets to be CE marked according to EU regulations. Regardless of Britain’s...

    Col, this handlebar unit was common to many makes using the 26 volt Panasonic units, so some suppliers who may have one or may be able to get one for you. Try Martin at ebikeshop.co.uk or Onbike.co.uk, or electricbikesales.co.uk, all previously handling makes that used this system. Sending...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I completely agree, but I doubt the government had even contemplated losing the vote, leading to some complacency in making the arrangements. It will calm down with time, but that could be speeded up if the government would only be more decisive. All Theresa May need do is hand in article 50...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Very true Flud, but I suppose if we were only fed a final total and the result had come out as Remain, suiting the government, there would inevitably be accusations of a fix. Those accusations did happen in the 1975 referendum, due to having different constituency areas being arranged just for...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You've posted this before Mike and i challenged it then, since it's simply untrue. Yes, London voted Remain, hardly surprising given the immigration background of so much of that population. But our second city of Birmingham overwhelmingly voted Leave, as did the large metropolian areas of the...

    new Yamaha pwx motor

    Indeed, but it's full circle this time. Bosch directly copied the very successful Panasonic torque sensor/pedelec unit which they decided to jump into the crank drive motor market, and now we have Japanese Yamaha taking ideas from them. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Strange change of heart, one moment the EU is the embodiment of evil to Brexiters and Germany which is accused of controlling it is the chief villain. Next a signature on a scrap of paper mades them bosom pals they enjoy trading with. :rolleyes: .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But most of them were also sensible enough to want to remain in the EU, and therein lies the problem. They might have a decision to make, which is the more important to them. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Just a little reminder, if the Scots leave us, the United Kingdom will no longer be politically united with them, but will still be united as a Regal Kingdom, since they intend to retain the crown. What will disappear is Great Britain, since the word Great was only added when Scotland joined...

    Is this the start of ebikes for the masses?

    Certainly having e-bikes in plenty of bike shops will increase sales somewhat , but where e-biking expansion is concerned, local availability is not the major problem. Our problem is simply that Britain is not a cycling nation and e-bikers are usually recruited from those who've cycled, rarely...

    Rights of Way.

    My method with pedestrians is simple and causes no conflict. I sound the bell on approach and slow right down, especially if coming up from behind. Then as I start to pass very slowly I smile and say "Sorry to disturb you". The reaction is never worse than neutral and usually much better...
