Sounds perfect except for the delivery - see if I can find a UK seller. This seems the same https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ascher-Rechargeable-LED-Bike-Lights/dp/B07JZQRX1Q/ref=sr_1_17?dchild=1&keywords=coukou&qid=1606488891&sr=8-17 Roughly how long doe a charge last?

As we are discussing front lights, any recommendations for a cheap front light - I am not interested in a mini searchlight.

So I assume he will apply for a provisional licence at 16 so he can get rid of the points as soon as possible.

I don't think they have a chance in hell of changing the law for their scooters, certainly not within a year. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-46103713

You feel that they would catch more people if the reductions weren't so ridiculous.

Seems like a nice scooter but servicing seems expensive.

The video definately shows her running across the road into the bike.

As someone who still has an original 905SE which is still going strong, albiet with one of Jimmy's rebuilt 36V batteries I was wondering about any advice/ recommendation as to which controller upgrade and what it will offer in terms of rideability.

See the make of the bike has been released: "Police later found the mountain bike-style powered cycle, made by Specialized, abandoned less than a mile away in Approach Close, Stoke Newington." So not a cheap shopping bike ~ be interesting to see if it was dongled, I am sure the police will be examining it closely.

Why bother with the pedals if you're not fitting a chain?

I've a Qashqai with a reasonably new battery but i sat parked with the air con on for 10min and that is what killedthe battery as obviously i had the ignition on as well. Now with our bike batteries they dont like to be unused for a few months at a time so how do the charging packs cope with not being discharged for long periods?

Having been caught with a flat battery on the car I think it is time to carry a jump starter with me. The question is should I go for a traditional sealed battery type like : https://www.manomano.co.uk/heavy-duty-jump-starter-3439?model_id=5902754&referer_id=537135&ach=ec9b0&achsqrt=c4a77&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7LL579-_3AIVF7cbCh1E9AvUEAkYBCABEgKyP_D_BwE or a more modern type like, https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/232752671089?chn=ps

I agree Bosch should step up, but irrespective of who makes the bearings and seals it was Bosch who designed the unit and signed them off as fit for the task.
