    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't think the issue of nationality is non-sense at all. Half of the UK want victory at all costs, to quote Churchill: "Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival." If you keep talking about...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's why I predict that brexit (even soft brexit) will lead to Scottish and N. Irish independence. I think we can have a totally rational, politically correct discussion about brexit. Not many posters bother about political correctness but I sincerely do.

    Help us build a better Ebike battery

    With a 2A charger, every mile you ride will take roughly 6 minutes to recharge, so it's easy to estimate how long it will take to top up and set a wallplug timer to put your mind at rest. A 4A fast charger will take half the time without worrying about BMS compatibility. Sure, different...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You wanted to know why brexit, I gave you the reason. Let's go back to the 50s, why did so many ex-colonies want their independence? They don't want English judges.

    but he didn't re-invent the wheel. The technology is there, the reason it didn't get more traction is because it is a niche requirement. What the customers like more is range. What the suppliers like more is high gravimetric density. 70 miles range is about as much as needed. That's easily...

    long term review? no. The bike is only out for just over a year. No one expects any degradation in performance for that short a period. Another 2-3 years, yes. Previous reviews by members: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/whoosh-karoo-quick-review.23429/...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's not a question of how much control we have surrendered. It is the idea that we surrender any at all. How does the idea of judges of a different nationality sit in the ECJ deciding on issues concerning the UK appear to you? It is unacceptable to half of the UK.

    These issues, important though they are, are they not secondary to control of our own laws?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am puzzled by Mr Corbyn's response. Would it be more logical for Labour to vote against triggering A50 to force the government to adopt their plan of better brexit?

    You need 2000 cycles for rental bikes but for own bikes, there isn't any real need for 2000 charging cycles. Basic 1000 cycles with current Lithium Ion on 400WH-500WH batteries are good enough for 5-7 years for most users. The point I try to make is the minimum cells on e-bikes are Li-ion...

    I think 0.1C-0.2C chargers are perfectly adequate for e-bikes. 2A chargers don't even need a fan. I can see benefit of fast charging on bikes for rental but why do you want to carry 30% extra weight on your own bike using LFP cells? and pay for a special 500W or 1.2Kw charger?

    I think the 150WH pack in 16S2P use Lithium Ion Phosphate 1,500mAH cells. They are capable of 2C charge. The main issue is the high power charger. They need proper ventilation and cooling.

    48V (16S2P) 150WH and 300WH are niche products. If you charge 100% the 150WH battery in 15 minutes, your charger outputs 700W, 1.4kW for the 300WH. So tell us, what is the output current for your charger? 15 minutes for how much charge?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think we will have brexit, 370 more MPs have already agreed with triggering A50 before April. Today's High Court judgement confirms that if A50 is triggered, we'll have brexit. If A50 is triggered, the end result is either a deal or no deal but brexit is a dead cert. The only way for brexit...

    it isn't a problem for an individual like me who voted to remain and accept the opposite result. Logic says if our lawmakers vote for brexit, then they agree that brexit is the right way. Did they change their mind?

    now that the Supreme Court is likely to confirm that the last referendum is advisory, can someone explain to me the logic of both houses, believed to be against brexit in majority, yet to vote for A50?
