I don't think any of this will arise. Scotland looks like voting to remain in the EU, Northern Ireland is definitely strongly in favour of staying in and Wales is likely to be tilted towards staying in. To tilt the balance into leaving, England will have to overwhelmingly vote to leave, and I...

I've used 14 gauge both for repairs and builds with powerful hub motors Stuart, they are plenty strong enough. My current e-bike has a wholly 14 gauge rear hub motor wheel, using the spokes linked to below. The packs of 6 spokes in the following link are British made and the drop down size...

I think that's an increasing certainty, only yesterday some SNP people were saying as much and couldn't envisage being taken out of the EU by England. And that would largely be England voting out, since Wales tends to be more pro since some of their regions get more from the EU in grants than...

NiMh and lithium batteries in satellites have for many years had a ten year 100% reliable life with daily charging. Their secret is that they are rated at seven times what is needed to cover their dark phase out of sunlight. So each 24 hours they use just one seventh of their capacity in the...

And the IMF managed our economy in a far more extensive manner than the EU ever has. .

Both the Elf and the Podride will have to be pedelecs under the new law in force now, that is they'll have to be pedalled all the time to get power. At present the Podride doesn't appear to be a pedelec design, but they can easily change that. As for the recharge in 8 hours being sufficient...

Really? 33% on a huge range of things and 66% on those things government deemed a luxury but often weren't. Not to mention the huge design damage that purchase tax brought. .

Yes, the memories of many are very short. .

Measure the cell, if its 65.2mm long and 18.3mm diameter, it's a standard 18650 cell. If the length is more like 68mm, it's a protected cell and is technically an 18680 cell. Your's is probably a standard cell Malcolm. Replace with the same type. This company sells tagged 18650 standard...

In that case I can only think of instability that causes a rocking motion when in the reverse direction, giving leading-edge bite. .

Could be the grain of the pad material and any "tail" developed with use. When used backwards it would be against the way the grain had set and more inclined to bind. If that's the case, swap the two pads side to side keeping the top the same way up and then forward braking will be the same as...

In Australia or California maybe there's a chance Brian, but in what passes for sunshine if you are in Britain, I think it would be very unlikely to fully recharge the battery in a few hours at the beach. Another thing to take into account is onshore and offshore summer breezes. In the morning...

My only reservation with good crank motor bikes was the battery security, since there have been odd cases of batteries not locking on securely or coming off on the road. But with downtube batteries, to deal with that possibility it's simply a matter of putting a couple of loops of duct tape...

Which is as it should be, since the future belongs to the young and not to the elderly. .

Some have 5 pins! Sometimes one set of pins are used when riding but another set are used during charging if a base charger is used. Some others have temperature monitoring via a pin. Yet others have a feed for the handlebar battery meter from another pin. Have a look at this page and you'll...

Many said they wouldn't make the concessions sought this time and they've been as good as their word. That's why the outcome has been so insignificant. I doubt those members would even talk again, defeating any EU Commission intentions. That won't happen, the two years is the EU's best...

But would Europe put up with such a proposal? You may remember that when Cameron first proposed a renegotiation it was met with considerable irritation among other member country leaders. Several openly said that it was about time that the UK either shut up or left. I think once more could...

I hear that the latest barmy move by Boris is to say that if we vote to leave the EU, he will want us to renegotiate again and have yet another referendum! I think such a move might finally prompt the EU Commission to lose patience and consider whether we should be kicked out. .

This shift in the odds on leaving* mean the bookies are betting the UK will remain in the EU. That trend is continuing. * i.e. The second figure as a proportion of the first in each pair has reduced. N.B. Crossed with Trex's post. .

Not common my experience, the only time I've seen anything similar is when someone is overtaking another vehicle and has misjudged the space for that. But continuous driving on the wrong side I've never seen. Perhaps the driver was from another country and absentmindedly on the wrong side of...
