    Bike or Cycle?

    Then shouldn't they have changed their name to Cycleability Trust first, before sending that out? .

    Bike or Cycle?

    Yes, bike is unsuitable since it's used for so many vehicles, from pedal cycles to motorcycles. E-bike is unsuitable since it describes anything from a lightly assisted pedal cycle to a barely disguised high speed moped. With the exception of The Countryside Act 1968, UK law for completeness...

    Old Panasonic Kalkhoffs

    Age and heart problems mean I am no longer cycling, not even assisted. But I still consider the first two series of Panasonic motor units to be the best mid units ever made after my years with the first (Giant Lafree) and North Downs rides with someone else on their second series bikes...

    Has anyone heard of or tried Toseven mid drive?

    I can't, all life is there. I do wonder if the BBC are aware of the thread. Normally they keep these sort of documentaries I linked to online for a year, but that one is still online and can be listened to after seven years! There'll be some red ears of embarrassment yet in Switzerland...

    It works for politicians! Like Blair and Bush's imaginary Iraqi WMDs. .

    Has anyone heard of or tried Toseven mid drive?

    Indeed, though really it became an all purpose-any political subject thread. Ironically I didn't intend it to be a thread at all. At that time before the referendum there was already a brexit subject thread, but it was going through pages so fast I posted the link to that BBC Radio 4 program...

    Help! Upgrading my bike for hills

    All three are illegal, only one 250 watt rated motor is legal. However, with option 3, if your motor is marked and rated at 250 watts, using a higher current controller will give you the increased hill climb ability and wont be detected or looked for by the authorities. You'll need to tell us...

    Revos bristol

    Imagine how I feel about them after watching at first hand over 70 years, every conceivable variant of them failing in the market, most failing technically as well. The first of many I fitted in the trade was 73 years ago, a Sinclair-Goddard Powapak. Nothing to do with Sir Clive, he was about...

    Revos bristol

    It was another victim of Brexit Zebb. From Revos in 2021: But Brexit has been a challenge for the business, which was established just before the referendum. Before the UK left the EU, the business had about 40% of its customers in the bloc - now it’s just 20%. “It has been pretty horrible...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Completely opposed to every aspect, ceremony clinging onto ancient and now irrelevant ways in the modern world. The quicker we get rid of the entire institution of monarchy and privilege based societal structure, the better. I don't think it has a fiscal cost, it just means going without sex...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Nobody. It's basically a complete government in waiting, which is the whole point of the EU's existence, working towards a single nation called Europe. One that could relate and compete on level terms in this world of giants like the USA and China. .

    Legal Pitfalls

    All fully agreed, and as I've long predicted, autonomous electric cars are turning out to be no more than a bad joke. I have one with level 2/3 automation that I thoroughly tested in the early months with it. I found far too many circumstances that caught it out, making it dangerous for me and...
