Agreed, I wasn't implying that it was a bike, just that it can be road legal. However, the new class L1e-A requires nothing like the old (now L1e-B) moped class conditions so is much easier to gain approval for. .

I never ride in a zen like trance, on the contrary I'm constantly alert to the many possible dangers on the road. I just don't get all these incidents that justify a camera use and as said previously, have never been knocked off my bike or motorbike despite most of my life being in London. I'm...

You're in John, riding in Tournerbury Lane, but I'm afraid for some reason the Google software won't let me save and fix the entry if I include your bike names. Map Link .

Tesla's intention though is charging from solar panels and on that basis I can't see it being viable in the UK. Charging from the night tariff would make more sense at present, but changes in interest rates during ten years could scupper that. Also if it caught on the energy companies would...

They have acknowledged that it is just their usual lithium technology, I think they are just hoping for an additional market among the wealthy trend setters. As one university professor remarked, albeit exaggerating slightly, who is going to pay £10,000 to store £2 worth of electricity? He's...

Agreed John that is indeed the difference. .

The area around has been opened to tourists on occasions for them to see the area, but children are indeed not welcome. The position was worse overall for childhood thyroid cancer than you indicated since the total affected was even higher. It's successfully treatable though and doesn't add to...

I did say life and wasn't referring to humans. The fact that it started at all in the presence of much higher levels of radiation when so few places in the universe appear to have been so blessed/cursed is somewhat indicative of lower harm from radiation than is often feared. I fully agree...

I'm not certain the brand name will change since David said this: "The new Wisper Bikes will be here at the end of May." .

This really is absolute nonsense. The Chernobyl area is not and never has been sealed. When the residents found little support elsewhere large numbers of them returned to their homes and have lived there ever since, often well into their eighties, growing their vegetables as they've always...

Yes, I'm entirely happy about the waste situation John, both now and long into the future. We humans love our scare stories and every advance has been accompanied by dire predictions, for example the prediction that the human frame could not stand a speed above 30 mph without death following...

And built that way by hand they are a bargain. Biketec build their Flyer e-bikes in Switzerland the same way, but they add the usual Swiss premium to the price which makes them far more expensive. .

You're in Glensman, riding on Woodfield Road. Map Link .

???? Anotherkiwi's join date is shown as Jan 26, 2015 to me. The same on his profile page. .

A bit overdone surely? The mountains are of lower level waste, the high activity waste being in much smaller volumes easy to cope with, and much of that is recycled into new fuel rods after enrichment. Some 90% of the "mountains" of nuclear waste is in fact cold war waste since the production...

There genuinely is a bird death problem though. Contrary to popular belief the USA was first to environmentally use wind power on a large scale and have suffered deaths of large numbers of birds in some circumstances. This has been worst when there's some confinement such as the turbines being...

With almost 80% of France's electricity from nuclear stations and much else hydro, their home country emissions are only a tiny fraction of our coal powered ones though. .

Yes, legal under EU rules since there have also been some compressed air powered cars running on the road in France that more than one company has long been promoting. They have zero road tax too as ultra low emission vehicles. Peugeot's is a hybrid, but the first company promoting this had a...

But, and theres more than one here, is this an overreaction? After all, they haven't been knocking you off all the time over those thirty years, so are they really dangerously close or is it that they know exactly what they are doing? Here's an illustration. I often used to think drivers were...

I've heard nothing at all, what have you heard Dave? .
