    De restrict for off road use

    Even though, as pointed out many times above in this thread, 30kph is only a small amount over the legal limit, it is above it. Any e-bike that can manage that while providing assistance is not technically a pedalec, and so requires license, insurance etc. Many people have posted many times on...

    E-bike lifter

    I think saneagle is talking about a bike lift to the roof (like a washing dryer), but OP is after a lift to a cartop bike rack.

    E-bike lifter

    I know there are tandem lifts. e.g. https://www.tandems.co.uk/m10b0s21p55/BTS-Tandem-Lift The image on that page show a regular bike, not tandem, so presumably it would work for an ebike.

    De restrict for off road use

    It said in the original article with the rider reported to officers from Police Scotland for having no licence or insurance. It doesn't say who did the reporting (or why), but it wasn't a random stop. Maybe he'd been behaving much worse elsewhere earlier to get reported; the police couldn't to...

    Why didn't anyone warn me I shouldn't put hot water in the toaster?

    DFT consultation on increase of 250W limit to 500W

    I'm not quite sure what this diagram had to do with the discussion, but it seems that putting Curation after Dissemination is rather shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted. Though now I think on it, maybe it's (generally undesirable) Information Censorship that would need to come...

    Smaller & Lighter eBike

    Look at Isalbikes: https://www.islabikes.co.uk/pages/technical-support though I'd be slightly wary as (a) they have stooped manufacturing (b) they use a proprietary system (Mahle SmartBike Systems X35+, 250W, Max Torque: 40Nm with Islabikes tune) (c) they have 26" wheels (I thought they were...

    "Brompton weighs in on better battery laws to clamp down on eBike fires "

    I'm sure that if Certsure make a suitable contribution to party funds the current government will be happy rush through some unthoughout legislation.

    Ali express - buying a new battery in the future.

    and much easier to handle any issues if you do have them. For example: I recently bought a replacement battery from Woosh. They accidently sent the wrong one; a pity but mistakes do happen. I contacted them. The next day the courier delivered the right one and collected the wrong one.

    Any ideas? Thanks in advance

    Clarification, just in case OP isn't quite sure. That is: disconnect the electric wire from the brake to the controller. No need to change any mechanical/hydraulic aspects of the brake.

    Video Editing Software for PC.

    I probably use ctrl-Z more than any other shortcut as it works in almost all applications, and I make lots of mistakes and tests whatever I am doing. Only major irritation is that some apps use ctrl-Y for redo, and some use shift-ctrl-Z

    Knee issues, heavy rider, good power, 1500gbp budget help please

    If a throttle is used the whole time that is true. If it is used more discriminately (*) it will help the rider over the bits that would otherwise be difficult and potentially damaging, while still giving him plenty of exercise for the remaining 98% of the ride. (*) It's odd how 'discriminate'...

    Video Editing Software for PC.

    I don't use Vegas, but almost certainly ctrl-Z works for undo. If you use it a lot you'll probably find that much more convenient than a button anyway.

    Post a couple of photos including one of the display; that will help people know exactly what parts it has and so what the error display might mean.

    Fat bloke on a folder

    Whoops, sorry. I stupidly looked for 'folder' on that page; I should just have looked for 'fold' or 'folding'.
