I noticed THIS, to me new company venturing into e-bikes. Not least is its nice light weight of 16kgs, but the styling to my tastes lacks any "charm". I have never though realised a bike, "e" or otherwise needs AI, my mind and body quite quickly have "told" me how to select the gearing etc, the...

Gates, with their excellent belt drive has for a long time offered a "chainless" solution, void of at least of the issue Spencer Kelly found in the Footloose interpretation. "Smart" electronics though could address that lack of synchronisation but I question whether the underlying concept of...

"As emergency services rushed to the scene, Grey fled on foot and went to a nearby Sainsbury's to buy groceries. " IMO this action painted a very telling picture of how seriously the defendant, initially regarded the whole consequences of her outburst.

Not really a surprise, nor a valid criticism of the big brands, just a reflection that they for sound business reasons, make products for their markets? Not making for other markets, but for European & US outlets, where for legal public road usage etc, regulations put restrictions on the end...

Unless others know something, I don't, a £1000 budget is not going to buy a new premium brand crank drive e-bike with a belt drive, both IMO highly desirable features but very expensive ones. The belt drive is in my experience highly reliable and requires in the on road use, all but zero...

Though the cycling attire not ideal for road surface attrition, and yet again in black. On that colour point, an issue in this case also, though it seems overwhelmingly the fashion today, it has to be the dumbest option for enhancing other's visibility of oneself.

Probably not "odd", in these people are likely to have researched, trialed and into ownership gained experience? I, a keen almost lifelong cyclist, now into my eighties held great misgiving on all sub 27". Circumstances change, and quite recently I needed to add in a bus transportable bike. I...

They do make the "User manual" a free down load LINK [I routed here via the 250Watt version] that includes some more information and photos, where we glean a bit more understanding.

I read HERE an interesting legal action twist on the e-scooter situation, that I can't recall of seeing invoked previously.

Could be they are very exposed to any arising claims, so they and their insurers' take action to minimise that exposure?

Sodium should though burn with a very bright yellow, distinctive flame ;)

I agree a more detailed breakdown would be more informative reading, and might aid better targeting those creating the risks, though I suspect the info is out there just not readily accessible to the public. I can't see why journalist might be overly focused on quoting e-bike related fires...

Probably though they are bundled under the "batteries" entry? That whole sector being the second most common cause, that document claims: "2. Electrical distribution: 2,962 fires Electrical distribution accounts for 12% of accidental house fires and 6% of deaths. Common sources of ignition...

Sadly another fire fatality is attributed to charging an e-bike; LINK

Are the Brompton brake levers replaced? They just don't look anything like ours [2022], but I am aware they have used different ones, both in previous times and still in various 2022 models.

Certainly, an interesting permutation on my previous knowledge of out rigged "stabilisers" like my granddaughter's. Adding "compliance" into the grounding experience would clearly be a big plus both in offsetting that's destabilisation effect, and facilitating turns as the video amply shows. I...

In addition, there is the probability it will be purchased from a bona fide and enduring trader. So, bring potentially the benefits for claiming fault remedies under the CRA 2015, extending way longer than the warranty. Not that all will endure nor that non branded kit purchases will...

Can you be a bit more specific of what you actually want it for, these things come in horses for courses. Then there is any need to transport it, are you uses going to involve needing to carry it in say a car or even more challenging on buses? Are you going to need to carry the shopping home...

What in this context are the "pros", and indeed the "cons" of the OP adding Addbike, with or without the +? On the point of "stabilisers", rear outriggers, I feel these could readily lead to a tumble, sooner rather than later. If low enough to ground and so give stabilisation, then by...
