December 10, 2025Dec 10 It looks like our police are rank amateurs at this game: Interesting video. I looked into the channel a bit because it seemed very critical of government policy, which you don't expect in China. The Channel is run by Falun Gong based outside China - in Deerpark New York. Googled info: "it's widely reported that channels like "China Observer," which features content critical of the CCP, are associated with media organizations linked to Falun Gong, such as Vision Times (which runs "China Observer") and The Epoch Times/NTD. These media outlets, while not officially run by the spiritual movement, employ many practitioners and share strong anti-CCP stances, forming a media network that opposes the Chinese Communist Party and promotes Falun Gong's messages, funded by subscriptions, ads, and donations from adherents."

December 23, 2025Dec 23 What's wrong with this picture? Bike is chained up and looks as though it's someones daily shopper - perhaps the motor's labeled wrongly. Looks like the copper is looking at a nice bit of safe paperwork for the rest of his shift. Similarly this one. This poor woman looks utterly bemused - or she could be a drug dealer ! I suspect that the police are just starting to target any bike that looks electric, it's an easy highly visible cop and you've got to prove that it is in fact an eapc with documentation. The rate this is going I can see it coming to rural west Wales any day now. My kit bike could far too easily be called out as 'a dangerously modified bike', despite all it's compliant labeling.

This situation seems to be getting ridiculous. They appear to be seizing every electric bike they see, let the owners fight it out in court. Converted bikes (like mine) are "modified" so twice as likely to be targeted. I forsee some kind of national registration scheme (with number plates) coming.
December 23, 2025Dec 23 Not happening here yet as far as I know I see to me obviously illegal retail sold e-bikes ridden by the unsuspecting public. But have noticed a lot of the delivery ones do not have the dinner plates now. Maybe they have been targeted in the town centre.
