    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    The current version (12.3.15) is reported to be much better by customers. Tesla update their fsd software every week. Apparently AI replaces about 200,000 lines of code. I am waiting for wireless charging before buying an EV.

    The GOP's rank and file sleep walked into handing over the party to extremist maga. They thought they can work with Trump but Trump only wants blind loyalty. That's a dictatorship. You either does what he wants or he'll give you insulting nicknames. No other president has had their ex ministers...

    DFT consultation on increase of 250W limit to 500W

    There is no need. The e-scooters have no sound economic basis. It is a short term solution to a short-term problem in our urban transport. Soon enough, curry's will find out that customers will bring a lot of them back either for money back or for service which they may not have budgeted for...

    DFT consultation on increase of 250W limit to 500W

    I am not complaining. There is virtually no chance that this proposal will get any traction. The tories will lose power in about 6 months and Labour will need to keep our laws roughly aligned to EU's.

    FB, google, amazon, credit card companies, supermarkets etc all collect data about all of us, even those which say they don't keep it. We are getting older and have to rely on cloud based facilities and soon robots. Would you rather say 'hey google, set the room temperature to 20 degrees' or...

    DFT consultation on increase of 250W limit to 500W

    Greedy. People may even store their e-scooters in their bedrooms and never wonder what battery cells are in them. I once bought a self balancing two wheel thingy by curiosity. After letting the kids play with it for a few days, I opened it to have a look.It was shoddily wired, Chisese pouch...

    DFT consultation on increase of 250W limit to 500W

    it seems to me that the current law is adequate. Proposing changes under the 10 minute bill rules is a waste of time. If any MP wants to help the e-scooter importers then they should declare their interest. Personally, I think e-scooter riders risk their life if they ride on the main road and...

    I think Mike Johnson has had enough of Trump's antics. He is now working with Biden.

    votes rigging? They didn't change the end result. Immigrants can't vote. Only US citizens can.

    The whole thing depends on Trump winning this year election. If he doesn't (I think he won't), he would end up bankrupted and may even be in jail. If he wins, he will owe it to so many people that it's difficult to imagine what he'll do to to the USA. The result depends essentially on these 7...

    Trump has the supreme court judges in his pocket. He may get away with more or less anything. In his current manhattan court case, hands up anyone who thinks that Trump is going to jail for interfering with the 2016 election.

    The dollar is backed up by the US economy and the ability of us government to tax. That includes invisibles resulting from their aggressive foreign policy. That's why they need to have a strong defence. Think for a moment China invades Taiwan. Where would we buy our chips from?

    You need to keep 10 year treasury yield as low as possible. That's the right way to run a modern economy

    Few people understand modern money and the many roles of the market of derivatives. If you ask politicians to explain why the boE has not increased interest sooner or why LT's mini budget is such a disaster, or why we cannot just carry on with QE, I doubt many would know the answer. Those who...

    No, he's protected by secret service. They just bankrupt him. True. I can't see that happening. He's sinking if you believe the recent polls and as you said, he's tied up in Court most of the time until the election. It's a fair fight, orthodoxy or Trump. Orthodoxy has the state machinery...

    What's the answer?

    I am not obsessed with lightweight, it's is only one factor otherwise I would have not fitted large pedals and propstand to all my bikes. My point is you should be selective about which bike you are going to convert. Your first question should be: Are you happy riding it unassisted? We have more...

    Here is the benefit of starting with a nice, comfortable, surefooted and reponsive bike. It will still be nice, comfortable, surefooted and reponsive bike with and without power. If you start with a lump of steel, it will not be nice to ride it, with or without power.

    I am working on it. The kit I am using is Tongsheng/Shengyi DWG2NC with Mechaniker's torque sensor built into the motor. The motor weighs 2kg. I will add a bag battery. This is my bike, weighing just under 10kgs. The kit will add 4kgs but it will be very easy to swap out, just a 9-pin motor...
