Agreed I was speaking in precise legal terms, but in English those are the only terms that matter for trouble free usage here. So I disagree that e-bike is perfectly correct for an EAPC, since it is so wide open to the misunderstanding and misuse we are currently suffering from. Remember that...

I always use pedelec to distinguish them as the legal bureacracy free bicycles that they remain. Of course it shouldn't have been necessary since we originally possessed the term Moped (motor + pedals) which quite accurately described our EAPCs, but sadly the chumps in the government's...

Indeed, from the official Protection Report, Executive Summary on the 31st December 2017 Liverpool Multi-Storey fire: 16.42 First call to the Fire and Rescue Service (999 call from member of public). 16.45 Local event firefighting team arrive at main entrance, under blue lights. 16.50 Fire &...

No, you're safe to cycle as long as your pedelec is legal or close to that. It's as Saneagle described, just dealing with a specific objective, the people being very obviously illegal, often in multiple ways. They illustrate what we've always known, it's the same small proportion of people who...

Basis is an e-bikes direct brand, they claim to have batteries in stock for all Basis models in this link 01580 830959 .

Seems six were suspected to be illegal immigrants: "Cardiff Council’s City Centre Warden Team took part in the operation which saw South Wales Police make two arrests, and the UK Visas and Immigration Service arrest six people." .

That is what I'm asking you to do. .

Which I replied to with the 2017 Liverpool multi-storey fire. The Range Rover that started that wasn't a hybrid then. Nor would it have been surrounded by EVs, since plug in cars were only 1 in 246 by the end of 2017. Now it's 1 in 24. Just a perfectly ordinary Range Rover with help from...

You haven't been paying enough attention to the subject, probably because lithium batteries were not around so no scare stories about them. Around 100,000 cars catch fire every year in this country, a large proportion of them diesel, and have done for decades. Having once been in the trade I...

You just can't stop with your nonsense, a diesel Range Rover fire collapsed a Liverpool multi story car park in 2017 together with some 1400 cars, and back then it was not a hybrid. Here's the link, read and learn, see the photos. These diesel only Range Rovers have had some recalls due to the...

This is pure fantasy, how many e-cars do the storytellers think there are? Hybrid and battery only combined are 4.3% of the fleet in Britain, so electric cars all round that Range Rover is bunkum. Those around it it will have been ic cars, at least half of them diesel and diesel fuel burning...

Now confirmed that it was begun by a diesel Range Rover fire, setting off a chain reaction fire of the other cars. It's six months after Land Rover recalled several models of the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport to address issues that could potentially lead to fires. The insurer of that car...

Not so. Quote: "Every year in the UK, over 100,000 cars which equates to nearly 300 a day go up in flames and around 100 people die as a result." We never got hysterical about that with i.c. cars, we just got used to it and accepted it. EVs will probably cause somewhat more so we'll just...

Can you give the first half of your post code Saracen, so I can get you into the right area of Wales? .

Yes indeed, but it's a matter of nomenclature. In the smart motorcycling world we don't say wellingtons, we say dairy boots, just like they do in dairy farming. They're excellent for motorcycling. The upstairs large clothing department of the swish Honda m/c dealer in my area always has a...

Precisely my point to Saracen, his saying only mid drives are any good is thoroughly bad advice for the majority of the world's cyclists, given how much more expensive on average they are to buy and run over time and so often unnecessary. However I fear you've discounted headwinds, which over...

Some agreement, I know the Henry is well regarded, but I have two bagless vaccuum cleaners so no benefit for me. Agree on Miele products, their service vans seem to almost live here attending to various neighbours broken down washers etc. .

I tend to agree, but not for some things where mains cables are a always a damn nuisance. For example vacuum cleaners and hedge trimmers. And of course in our 200 acre nature reserve there's no mains so it's either a stinking, noisy two stroke or a clean battery electric chainsaw. .

Most of the world's cyclists don't live in Wales or ever go MTBing, so please stop giving bad advice by insisting mid drive is best. For the majority of cyclists in the majority of circumstances, rear hub drive is best for many sound reasons, but for SOME like yourself it isn't. Your choice...

Actually the article you linked to doesn't give the real reason, here is that real reason, shabby political manoeuvring: With "America First" Trump out of the way and Biden in place, Boris Johnson was hoping to get a trade deal with the USA. For some years the US e-scooter hire firms had...
