    Bike Stands

    Interesting, I've seen these but had reservations about their stability and strength when used with an E-Bike. But if you guys are using them then I guess my fears are unfounded. I'll drop down and see if they are in stock. Thanks guys. TTFN John.

    Bike Stands

    Hi All, Looking to buy a decent bike stand for maintenance/on going fettling. Anyone have any advice? Park Tool kit is well out of my financial capabilities but willing to spend up to £100 or so if that's what it takes. I've been looking around and although I see plenty which say E-Bike in the...

    Petition to legalizing throttle only eBikes for the disabled

    One thing I'm still confused about is the 250w limit. Exactly how would they test this? Although I have no facts to back this up, I'm convinced even my lowly Carrera Vengeance motor would output considerably more than 250W with an appropriate controller etc if pushed. I've got toy aeroplane...

    Petition to legalizing throttle only eBikes for the disabled

    Ah ok, sorry, I though Woosh also offered this. But we do agree that E-Bikes with throttles are legal. (Subject to the appropriate L1e certificate). TTFN John.

    Petition to legalizing throttle only eBikes for the disabled

    Not playing devil's advocate or anything just genuinely confused... I thought throttles were already available on E-Bikes and Woosh and Wisper for example already offered these? As I understood it an extra "Type Approval" is required L1e?? It has to be done on a bike by bike basis and I think...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree and I too have witnessed the suffering of a loved one with terminal cancer. The final months with my wonderful wife were something I doubt I will ever fully recover from and I would never wish on anyone. But it wasn't Shipman's decision to make. No one, however qualified on the subject...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Well, I guess our respective understanding of woke probably differs somewhat. :) I personally found it inconsiderate, though not necessarily offensive. But HS is fairly recent history and families of his victims I think would have every right to be offended. (15 confirmed murders but anything...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Again, I don't disagree with you Flecc. But as usual we have a different amount of faith in the general populous. To most, (Or at least those in my local area). The original referendum was about sovereignty and taking control of our borders (So how's that going for them). :rolleyes: An...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I personally don't see it happening in my lifetime. Much closer links yes, possibly even a covert rejoin under the radar. But I think the proposal of another referendum would be catastrophic for whoever was in power at the time. Doing it without a referendum would be catastrophic for whoever...
