Back in 2006, we in the UK (and I presume the USA) got the meter with a side switch for either pedelec with power delivered via the throttle or throttle control with or without pedalling. I was told the EU didn't have that second switched option, and that seems to fit your Cadence instance, but...

Yes, that was the EU version too. .

Pending Trex responding, maybe fashion? There's precedent for such odd locations making e-bike names, Kalkhoff's Agattu is named after an arctic island in the Aleutians group. .

Yes, they have grandfather rights according to the DfT, and since the 2015 EAPC changes were not backdated, that is the law in effect. I say "in effect", since the prior EAPC regulation said nothing about how power must be applied, leaving that open to designers. They all used to be like that...

It's for those responsible to tell it. There is no relevance to what we have in this country in the way of squeezy bottles, or such luxuries as e-bikes. .

But that is not the law, the point I was making. Of course if the police are instructed accordingly, any risk of prosecution in the UK is removed at present, but there are two problems with that. The first is that if legality became a question in court, for example in respect of an insurance...

Thanks Dave. They made no public announcement on grace with the general announcement on the amendment which surprised me, but do you have a source for this grace period statement, when, where etc? .

If your current eZee models have a fully acting throttle while not pedalling, they have been illegal as bureaucracy free pedelecs since 6th April 2015. When that amendment to the EAPC regulations was introduced there was no public announcement of a period of grace for disposal of existing stock...

On a pedelec, which is what was being posted about above in answer to the OP, a fully acting throttle is illegal now and has been since 6th April 2015, so the law was changed. The prior EAPC regulations have no relevance now in this respect, so it is you who is being misleading. The type...

. Until the Bosch needs a new battery, then it'll be the food bank. :( .

The BPM which is a front hub motor and it's rear wheel equivalent the BPM-CST (accepts a standard cassette) are two of the most powerful and torquey. Both bought from China. Another equivalent is the eZee motor which can be bought in kit form from Cyclezee in the UK. .

You may find the online rail guide from A to B magazine helpful Mary, it lists all the train companies in the UK, including the private lines, with their bike carrying terms and restrictions: Here's the link That Scotrail e-bike permission was given back in February 2009, so I'd guess many of...

Yes you can now David, as of 6th April 2015. It can be bureaucracy free if you use a motor certified as 250 Watts or less and use a torque or pedelec sensor for control, fully acting throttles are no longer allowed. There is no weight limit now, so it doesn't have to be made with PVC pipe. If...

You're in at your new location now Mary, riding on the A711, and the old entry deleted: Map Link .

You beat yourself up if you want to, but life quality in Africa now is none of our doing. From end to end and side to side, their troubles today are entirely of their own making. .

Certainly, but it started out as alleviation and that's probably their excuse for incorporating this style now. It used to be done much better, Flyers originally had a swan neck down tube, but some didn't like the look, hence their succumbing to style considerations with their somewhat...

Store the bottle upside down, cap downwards, that will keep the content at the outlet liquid. If stored the other way with cap at the top, the small amount of air above the content can dry and thicken the portion stuck to the outlet, acting like a glue. Release when it comes then under higher...

Probably an attempt to alleviate the discomfort that the straight line of the frame from rear wheel to headstock causes. The rigidity of alloy frames has a real discomfort factor compared to the old steel ones. That frame style makes matters worse, the traditional frame with more horizontal...

They aren't scared of that little outfit, they just wanted the publicity value of being first. They've got two real commercial objectives and being first would have had long term publicity value. Airbus will succeed in this field and as they do over time, will absorb the European competition in...

There's nothing sportsmanlike about big business. Airbus have long been the victim of underhand dirty tricks by the US Aircraft industry and Federal authorities, so it's not surprising if some of that has rubbed off, Airbus has a lot at stake, since theirs is a serious two seater intended to...
