To calculate absolute risk, you take the number of e-bike fires and divide it by the number of e-bike population. Let's assume for simplification, there are 1 million e-bikes in use and 100,000 new e-bikes are sold each year for the last 10 years. You can see that if it were a steady state, the...

Try to catch those in their hundreds who operate from china and register for uk and eu VAT at the same address. You can only protect people by setting high standards for products.

The number of fires per annum should be set against the number of ebikes sold per annum to work out the fire risks. I have seen a sharp decline in the number of bikes I sold in the last 12 months. Conversations with retailers and fellow importers have painted a similar trend. All because of fire...

look at the issues this way: we know why batteries go wrong: bad cells, overcharging, undercharging, charging while one or more cells are faulty. We also know how to stop the problems and the solution costs next to nothing. Should we do something about this by imposing a minimum set of standard...

They cause collateral damage through explosion. Stop the explosion is first low hanging fruit. Stop overcharging is also low hanging fruit. Common sense, nothing to do with free speech.

183 fires for about 100,000 ebikes is much too much when you consider how much collateral damage versus the cost of preventative measures.

Bms needs to be specified to meet standard norms. It's the weakest link atm. Loads of quality batteries will stop charging when the bms detects a dangerous condition. Why shouldn't all bmses be forced to have that feature?

None of these things add to the current costs or a couple of £ at most. It's just legislation. Doing nothing is not progress. Bad products will continue getting into our homes. PS: Data logging in the bms will enable predictive replacement and stop overcharging old or damaged batteries.

What would you like to propose to make battery safer? Require that all cells must have anti explosion device? Standardise charging port? Data logging?

what is not fair that billionaires pay on average less than the estimated 6% in tax over the fortune they amassed. The simple reason is they can channel their profit to trusts, often in tax havens, rather than themselves. They then use that tax free money to buy nice big houses here. When they...

you could look at a period into the future by extrapolating the past. Climate change is usually understood by the damage it does to food producing land. Large aeras become too hot or too dry to grow crops. You can of course discard those conclusions based on cherry picking. There are still...

Have you heard of NFCGate? There is a malware that uses NFCGate to clone your card. Features On-device capture: Captures NFC traffic sent and received by other applications running on the device. Relay: Relays NFC traffic between two devices using a server. One device operates as a "reader"...

I am not surprised. For years, Chinese rewrapped cells found their way into our homes. Now we may have to sit out for perhaps 10 years to see them gone out of business.

Grievances like asylum seekers are given priority for council houses.

not suppress, just hold accountable. If you and I sow division, whip up grievances, push people to riot, we'll be hauled up in Court.

If you post the same things that he says on TV, Starmer's prosecutors may read your posts. If he says it on GBNews then it's political debates. Some may think that they pay him to say things than you and I can't say.

you may have to install latest windows update right away. Google up CVE-2024-38063. Microsoft has released its August 2024 Patch Tuesday update to address 90 security vulnerabilities. The update includes fixes for six zero-day flaws actively exploited across various products and services, such...

cars are parked too close to one another. I don't think which fuel the first car has is a big factor. Battery technology has matured a lot in the last few years, they are a lot safer than petrol cars.

count yourselves lucky. One time, they lost my shipment in their warehouse for two weeks. I got charged about £1,000 in bonded warehouse rentals.

It's not the founders who created the wealth but those who worked in their businesses. The latter got their education from the state etc. If they pay their taxes properly, I would not mind that they are very rich. A lot of them do no more than buy and sell shares.
