    For the vast majority of that time, humans didn't exist. Global Warming isn't a problem for the Earth, it's a problem for humans i.e. speed of the current warming and where people live

    Since the rate of warming is much faster over land than oceans / seas and most of the world is covered in water, then most places on land will warm faster than the global average

    Argos E-Move - Anyone have any experience with these bikes?

    A recent member of the Forum bought this https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/advice-on-buying-an-e-bike.47952/post-728893 I had a quick look on Facebook marketplace around Manchester, nothing that stood out. I would be tempted by that secondhand Woosh faro that I linked to earlier but...

    Help! Looking for a lightweight and compact conversion kit

    Well, there's people here a lot more experienced than me : @Nealh , @saneagle , @Bonzo Banana, @Woosh to name but 4. My experience is a 328 rpm akm-75 front hub motor in a 20" wheel folding bike. I didn't notice any difference in handling and even with the motor switched off I can cycle a 9...

    Help! Looking for a lightweight and compact conversion kit

    I have done a couple of front hub conversions, but only on folding bikes. @Nealh uses a front hub G370 and has been very happy with it. I think the handling with a very light hub motor (eg 1.44kg akm-75) is very different to a heavier motor, and also will depend on the bike geometry and forks.

    Help! Looking for a lightweight and compact conversion kit

    20% gradient is quite steep for a small hub motor, unless you are very light and providing quite a lot of pedalling input. The problem is that at very low speeds the motor is inefficient and won't provide as much assistance (and the controller will eventually overheat if that sort of gradient...

    Help! Looking for a lightweight and compact conversion kit

    Generally mid drive conversions are stronger up off road steep hills, but tend to be heavier conversions. Hub drives are surprisingly capable, depending how steep the hill is, rider weight and how much pedalling effort the rider puts in. Is it "light" off roading or real mountain bike off...

    His team seem pretty incompetent at this sort of stuff and the authorities are pre-warned that he is going to try it

    All his legal challenges came to nothing at the last election, when, arguably, he was in a much stronger position to influence. I still think a Trump win at the polls is still a strong possibility

    I'm interested why are you so sure ? The pollsters have Trump slightly ahead and think that a close Trump win is most likely, but they think that results from a decisive win for Harris to a decisive win for Trump are possible. If Trump wins, I suspect Vance will engineer the 25th amendment...

    29er MXUS XF07 wheel build, good idea, bad idea?

    I am interested, I have had a couple of wheels from top like kit, they cost an extra £25 over the bare motor and the shipping was about an extra £40. The wheels seemed fine. I was thinking this was probably cheaper than building one here

    Advice on buying an E-Bike

    Enjoy your pedelecing - it looks all standard parts so would be easy to maintain / upgrade. Decent battery size and peak power 540W - so I am assuming that is a 36V 15A controller and 540W is the peak power from the controller
