He probably deleted his posts in response to the correction. .

That price is too steep, they were circa £1500 new about 8 to 9 years ago and the batteries on those will be right at the end of life at this age. They were a nice leisure semi-recumbent bike though, not gutsy but a refined and very comfortable ride. The sophistication was far ahead for the...

And perhaps unsurprising considering the huge publicity surrounding the spate of cyclist versus truck deaths late last year. .

. Try this Map Link Andy. .

You should have made the smartphone lifesize and tucked into a corner of the parking space. That would probably have caught us out! :) .

I knew, it was fairly obvious, but I'm not a smartphone fan and like the Twizy concept! .

Not necessarily James, we call it humanism which needs no god. This isn't faith, it's just a rational and mutual recognition of what we enjoy and what is best for us all. .

Indeed, I like the Renault Twizy but wish we had the Californian weather for it. In our climate it's a no no. The Toyota i-car concept is what I'd like the most though:

Understood James. Although I can and do take the mickey out of religion, I see the position of the religious as being entirely rational. If they are right about there being a god, they win. If they are wrong they will never know. Atheists like me either lose or never know. .

It looks like they nicked the saddle height adjustment slide from Giant's design on the Revive model. That's from a decade ago, so cutting edge? o_O .

Yes, that's what I meant, plus e-power torque from zero revs dwarfs that from ic engines. From Panasonic unit experience there tends to be little finesse in that initial thrust in taking off during traffic lights Grand Prix! .

Neat conversion John, battery fine there giving short cable runs for a compact installation. It's strange how 20" wheels suit tandems so well, compared to solo bikes, little wonder the proportion of them has been so high in the tandem world. .

I agee Michael, though there would need to be some additional safety measure at a standstill. I found I could slightly wheelie a Panasonic powered 250 watt pedelec by pressing hard on a pedal at a standstill. With up to 10 kW on instant tap, life taking off from the lights could get very...

Yes, a large number of people gripped by mass hysteria can indeed be frightening. .

If you have a fair size dropout plate on your frame you'll be able to use just the base bit of the eZee torque arm as I did on my bike by tapping a thread into it:

That will mean type approval if that is to be a normal usage method. The expression "primarily" in the off road unpaved exemption won't stretch very far in officialdom's mind. I don't think the 2017 regulation will be very much different and there are signs of some easing in parts. For...

Not sure about the usage implications at Matchams, but StalkingCat's high powered bikes don't need type approval for sale since he is designing them for off road use. This is the exemption in EU type approval regulation 168/2013: Section 1.1(g): "Vehicles primarily intended for off-road use...

Well I hope the French government will permit cycle helmets on the S class in 2017 Tony. Good point on breath testing, plus a driving licence ban! :( .

No, for that in regulation 168/2013 she has exemption from type approval as a motor vehicle: Exemptions section 1.1(g): "Vehicles primarily intended for off-road use and designed to travel on unpaved surfaces". :) .
