In fact not a single member has experienced a battery fire in the whole 18 year life of this forum since it was established in October 2006. And some of us, including me, also drive electric cars too, our makes including Nissan, Renault, Tesla and Polestar, again without any fires of any fear...

That, although very true, is really not the problem though. It's a symptom. The problem is that in less than that 100 years, our 2 billions have quadrupled to over 8 billions. Somewhere far below a population of 2 billions, planet earth could self repair what we do. Even at the best...

Yes, because it will have expanded sufficiently to maintain contact over the whole inner tyre area. It's basically a balloon filling a space only slightly larger than itself. I've routinely used slightly smaller inner tubes in preference to ones slightly too large, without any problems. .

True indeed. Over regulation is what killed off the kit car market in the EU and damaged it here too. I'm not advocating similar for conversions, just warning what will happen if the present situation of very damaging and sometimes lethal fires continues. The authorities will be forced to...

True, diverting the cost of such referral to doctor's salaries, introduced by a Tory government to reduce NHS costs, knowing the doctors would hang onto the extra once in their hands. Here it is in action: 17 years ago I had a serious loss of blood pressure heart attack. I wasn't surprised...

Yes, it should use the correct wording, maximum continuous rated power. But that careless drafting would make no difference to a claim when the supplied motor or bike was marked 250 watts and no larger number was mentioned as part of the sale. I don't see anything underhand, they were simply...

No. Only the conditions you saw before the point of insurance purchase applied. That;s why you waere able to opt out of the insurance, the later change was unenforeceable. .

Theft insurance isn't something I have any expertise in, but in principle an insurer can set any conditions perfectly legally, provided they are not concealed and can be easily accessed before buying the insurance. In this instance, clearly the insured was able to not only access the conditions...

Yes, there's a few of us in this forum who've use the property way, the two of us and Tillson for starters. But as you say, what alternative is there since no pension fund can be trusted. I still remember my ex employees losing half their pensions when Equitable Life failed through...

I was being sarcastic of course. Believe me it's no better in London, which is actually worse than most other parts of England. Here far too often NHS stands for No Health Service and I've certainly never been clapping it. .

Rishi successful. Rishi Sunak promised he would get the NHS waiting list down, and he's done just that. Down from 7.6 million to 1, just in time for King Charles' treatment. .

It's called education. As Blair once said, Education, Education, Education, you just keep at it until they've learnt. .

Some further information on how much I modifed my folder to suitability: The original handlebars are too narrow, too high for my height, too close to the saddle and with no adjustments. The steering lacks self centering due to lack of caster angle, so this is made worse by the narrow high...

Stable steering. Steering is much more twitchy with smaller wheels and folders often have narrower handlebars making that characteristic much worse. Sticking one's right arm out to hand signal a right turn can take courage at times. Geometry. The traditional diamond frame bike shape and...

As you saw from my post above, I use both, including for towing. But the riding qualities of a full size bike are always much better. However one might not be as practical to carrying through people's homes that you mentioned, if the bike also needs to be carried through. .

No, slow is good and more accident free. What would you do with the seconds saved anyway? .

Yes this can make perfect sense. I used a 20" wheel folder for many years with a very large trailer. And I'm also in London: Information link Choose carefully though, some folders are rather weak in their frames and hinges and some with rather weak motor systems, so ask in this forum for...

Very securely. In a block of 50 garages, mine is the only one that has never been broken into through 56 years. I don't use proprietary security for home or garage, only my own unique systems which tend to baffle the crooks. Nissan's prismatic c ells are excellent but need the right charging...

Don't buy anything, you'd probably be wasting your money. Stay calm and wait for help from those who know the BBS02. It's probably a very minor fault which wont cost anything to fix. .
