That report has already been rubbished. The average increase in weight is far too low to double the road damage, or even increase it to any extent. A comparison across a large range of e-cars and their ic alternatives show from 11% weight increase in smaller cars up to a maximum of 30% increase...

Route up to 50 garages at the top of this 14% hill. With each passing car the hollows in this council road get deeper:

I didn't fall for this for one moment as my posting record shows, insisting Russia will come out of this conflict on top in the end. Even before the "special operation" started I posted that the true objective was to take control of the two seas by seizing Ukraine's south, Kiev only a option if...

One thing is certain, the Russians are not going to let go of the territory they've gained, with its control of both the Azov and Black Seas and the direct land access to Crimea. I can foresee a future cease fire with a UN blue beret force on the current boundaries acting as the peace keepers...

Member BoostBikes and that company are obviously utterly clueless about the legal position in many countries in the world. For starters their bikes all permit 20mph with assistance as standard, making them illegal as assisted bicycles in all of the countries in Europe including the UK, plus...

It was a well regarded very cheap pedelec at one time, could even be performance boosted and many in this forum had one. I believe they could be bought for under £300 at times from one of the Sports shops. Here's an example: And here's one with lots of upgrades, disc brakes, downtube...

In most cases the pedelec law is being broken, that is what is happening. In practical terms, some find a throttle useful when needing to manouvre slowly between traffic. Others with torque sensing pedelecs and not able to put in much pedal shove, find it useful to have maximum power to get...

Or the way the French have cracked down now on breaking pedelec rules, a fine of up to a staggering €30,000. I bet that has focussed a few French minds, doubt that many will be keen on having throttles now. Saw my first Sur-ron yesterday, the rider turned onto the pavement I was walking on. I...

The only thing to get used to is the greater comfort with that kind of bike and handlebars. It's how we all used to ride in Britain 70 and more years ago and from Africa through to India and China how almost all the rest of the world still rides today. A few years back I had a Giant Lafree...

Yes, I did notice those differences, but I'd struggle to make them match the price discrepancy. Especially now those Nissan batteries are now considered to have up to 12 years car use life and thereafter for storage wall use. I don't know where you get the 5 year 60,000 miles from, presumably...

He does sometimes have long breaks, his last two posts on May 4th, so almost two months this time. I know both he and his son have severe health problems so I hope those are not involved in the absence. ,

Economies of scale, £617 per kWh. My 39.5 kWh e-car battery, £202 per kWh. .

Member Danidl there in Ireland told me they are using the whole mix of methods, including satellite where necessary. When EDF installed a smart meter here, despite my telling them it wouldn't work, they confidently said they would get it to work, using mesh network etc. Three months later...

The slowest I normally get is 65 download, 16 upload. After bad experiences with others I switched to Zen several years ago and have never regretted it for one moment. On just two occasions I've had a noticeable drop in speeds, prompting me to phone them. Both times a quick answer from some...

I'm on Zen's Fibre 2, just checked the speeds: 74.9 download 27.9 upload, but usually more like 18. You'd get a FritzBox router as part of the package. .

The delay doesn't matter anyway, the whole scheme was doomed from the outset due to our pathetic mobile phone coverage, used by our smart meters. Despite being in a London Borough, none our our smart meters work since we have no coverage in most of our properties. The energy companies are well...

Woosh Santana 3, recommended for 5'4" upwards, but with this proviso from Woosh: "If you are between 5ft2 and 5ft4, let us know, we can fit a non-suspension seat post and a flatter saddle." It has one of the more powerful motors, the SWX02, good for riders up to 18 stones / 114 kilos. The...

Quite possibly since I'm electricity only, but Oxygen stated that MY costs would reduce by 17%, adding that this was a personalised breakdown. Here's a screenshot of their communication:

Not hoodwinked, I spotted their con immediately. But none of them are angels, wait 'til you've worked yours out, I bet it won't remotely be 19% reduction of your annual cost. .

Back on the thread subject, just received notification of the reduction in electricity prices from 1st July, due to falling wholesale prices: My unit charge down from 34.175p to 30.899p Daily standing charge remaining at 45.566p. Both including the 5% VAT. Oxygen Energy describe this as an...
