And I've several times over a long period shown the photos proving that they were not. Many of them were from before our battery e-bus era anyway. Regardless , we are going to EV buses only anyway, simply because we have to for multiple reasons, so protest and opposition is foolish and...

I think they can happen, but it will mean a set back in time to very slow flight speeds, maybe 200 mph at most. Boring enough to be pleased thay can't fly very far. And just as we've moved away from any airliners with over two engines, it will be back to engines all along both wings! Quaint. .

Strange how after all the dozens of diesel bus fires with total burn outs in various bus designs, none was ever withdrawn from service. Electric vehicle hysteria again? This e-bus in Wimbledon was an Optare Metrodecker, a model that has been in service for five years now and 84 of them have...

That is common usage which I have never denied. Even the police commonly use it. It is contrary to law. .

Agreed, as I said, he was just assuming, and hoping the knowledgable viewer would also assume. .

I'm not making up my own rules, I'm stating the law that applies thoughout the EU and the UK. An EAPC is never an e-bike. It remains a bicycle in law. .

And we are never going to solve this problem. It used to be so simple long ago when there were just motorcycles, cars, vans and lorries. But then we got the autocycles which should have had the Moped name. Then the petrol add-on motors for bicycles which had no vehicle name but were classed...

Poor Ted, that will forever haunt him. Of course he was just assuming viewers knowledge of snooker, since the green was on its spot so easily identified. .

The BBC was not necessarily wrong. All electrically driven two wheelers that are not pedelecs are e-bikes (electric bikes, aka electric motorcycles, aka Mopeds). Our bureacracy free pedelecs, also known as EAPCs, are just bicycles in law and not in any way motor vehicles, so can never be...

No, it's just extra profits. Anti dumping tax will follow if they sell enough. BYD's big advantage is that they are primarily lithium battery manufacturers, for others as well. That includes Tesla's Shanghai production which was over half of all Tesla's made last year. .

Yes, I've also had good delivery experience with Evri, which weirdly is part of Hermes. But Evri also just throw the item onto the floor behind the front door of the hallways of our multi occupation buildings. Ok for me since I get the "just delivered" email, but for those who are out at the...

I'm not amazed, just depressed that this is more proof that our public prefer fictional over factual sources for their knowledge. .

But not with my hindsight, it was with my foresight as you may remember when I consistently argued against it and the rigid legal controls, arguing for the voluntary approach of Sweden. .

No. In South London, and the worst offending courier is Hermes. .

Here in the south east it's very different with all the main courier firms busy all the time, high population density of course. I think the main problem here is the sweat shop that the couriers operate, drivers expected to complete up to 140 deliveries in a day in some cases, so having little...

Once upon a time couriers delivered to our doors. Then Covid happened and our doorsteps became good enough. But it seems that was too much trouble so in blocks of flats they started to just throw packages onto hall floors just inside the ground floor porch doors. The latest now is throwing...

It will have kept them entertained while they checked! ;) .

Trump is America's Boris Johnson. Just look at how many times the British Public have fallen for Johnson's idiocy and consider they may well do so again. Then you'll understand why the Americans fall for Trump. It's because the majority of the public everywhere are remarkably stupid. .

I've moved this and my reply to the Charging Post in a new Any Subject thread: Link .

This thread starting post is my reply to the quoted off subject post in the Electric Bicycles forum. Please use either it, or this forum with a new thread, for any off electric bike subject you want to post about, placing it in this forum that was always intended for that purpose: I...
