Have you told the kids this wish? :rolleyes: .

They don't have to be made of symmetrical metal tubes of course, monocoques of other light materials are perfectly ok for some purposes. The key thing is the geometry of the traditional diamond frame. So long as the functional points of that geometry are adhered to, the frame can be good...

It certainly looks that way, but there may be a legal argument to dispute that. The transmission is electrical so is not assistance, the battery input being assistance. If the battery supply is cut at 25 kph by the software, the electric transmission can legally take the bike above 25 kph. .

Yet a bike's derailleur drivetrain is far more efficient than any car drivetrain. He wouldn't like me pointing that out though! .

I thought they might still be in production, this is the one they originally sold as the Dolphin. I don't know if the software was the same though. .

Maybe a solution for ocb would be to add a lower clear perspex/acrylic extension to a helmet mask, akin to the visors on open face motorcycle helmets. That would protect the mouth as well as the eyes. .

Or can be expressed as eight and a half pence each per day. I saw the same figures. .

Our posts crossed, I'd just suggested this on this link. I wouldn't disconnect the old battery immediately though, try them in parallel at first. .

One option to try to fool the software would be to have a second carrier mounted battery connected in parallel, supplying additional current for drive power and range while the software still sees the original BMS. .

Thanks for bringing the sad news Hugh, I'd been in private contact with Eddie many times, occasionally posting on his behalf, but not very recently. I've missed his presence and ascerbic comments in this forum, but in my opinion he always enriched it. My sympathy to his wife and family. . .

Link direct to that photo. Click to enlarge to full frame. .

I'm afraid he makes the same mistake that so many do, of dismissing the argument that the fundamental bicycle diamond frame geometry is as perfect as it ever will be. It simply is, and every attempt to depart from it loses efficiency. And thus it ever will be until human beings drastically...

I was having fun, the smiley was the clue! In any case, my pension is no longer payback, I've lived beyond the expected lifespan when I was paying. Also I retired 11 years before the usual retirement age so only paid the minimum qualifying deductions. .

Oval wheels, they'll be all the rage in 2017. .

Perhaps not, they are not the official leave campaign. It's for the official leave organisation, Vote Leave, to request the broadcast time, and if their strongest card is Nigel Farage, they can let him dominate the broadcast if they wish. .

Yes, he's certainly been contentious, even we in London know about his antics. He suffers no shortage of courage though.. Be interesting to know where he'll pop up next, I can't see him just retiring to quiet obscurity. .

Possibly not just the BBC, also the story from ITV, on this link .

I like my zero hours contract with the government. I don't have to do any work hours and the pension still turns up regularly! :D .

The answer to your question "Why?" is that it's a side effect of our first past the post electoral system. So UKIP suffers unfairly. And it's not only UKIP now, it's unlikely that the Labour party can hold power in Westminster in the foreseeable future without the Scottish vote. That's...

Not all i.c. engines, just cars in use by Dutch citizens using i.c. engines. Could happen, Holland is a small country and very flat, so good electric ranges. They already have a quite large number of pure electric cars on the road, mainly from Tesla, Nissan and Renault. 70% of the population...
