    Comment on another sad e-scooter death

    Yes agree, although the reduction in the number of IC fuel stations is largely offset by the capacity of modern stations. Most have at least a dozen pumps and throughput of traffic means little time is taken visiting. I've seen more "queueing" for EV charge points than for IC pumps. This will of...

    Clothing in colder weather?

    Ok, not clothing but this might be the final piece of the puzzle once you have keeping warm sorted. TTFN John.

    Comment on another sad e-scooter death

    I disagree. As I said, I question a lot of the points made which is a result of reading the article. Some of it makes sense other parts are dubious to say the least but I've read all sorts of rubbish in mainstream media and legitimate advertising (By EV manufacturers for example) as well. TTFN...

    Comment on another sad e-scooter death

    Posted more as a topic of discussion than anything else (I question a lot of the points made). https://freewestmedia.com/2022/12/21/study-diesel-vehicles-are-more-climate-friendly-than-electric-cars-2/ But as with everything, even following the green agenda means you are at the mercy of the...

    Slime.

    I'll chime in with support for Slime. I had numerous punctures, probably due to living on a busy road so the first/last mile or so is littered with stuff to ruin your day. But since buying slime tubes not had any issues. I have experienced issues with the slime clogging valves though and have...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Reminds me of my days as a "Unigate" milkman (Or should that be milkperson)? Although I don't remember mine having an "optic" as standard equipment. :mad: Great memories and yes milkmen got all the perks in the confessions films if you played your cards right. :) TTFN John.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't disagree with anything you say Flecc. But I do however believe the 4% offer is pathetic. The biggest problem as I see it is it was recommended by the independent pay review board (So far so good) but at the time the inflation rate was a fraction of what it is now. Of course the 19%...

    Is it safe to connect a 40W elecric blanket to my ebike battery?

    No, the complete call was like talking to a child. He just kept saying I need to send the original paperwork. It was like his template answer sheet just sent him back to his original question. Fortunately it was a low value item (£20). From my perspective I got the correct item eventually and...

    Is it safe to connect a 40W elecric blanket to my ebike battery?

    RM are bloody useless. I bought something off Ebay, when it arrived it was the wrong Item. I returned it to the seller (Signed for) and he sent the correct item plus my return postage. He never got the returned package and the RM tracker showed it was still at the drop off point. They assured...

    Let's pretend we are driving a proper car.

    This seems to have rapidly drifted off the topic heading and is quickly becoming a new "Brexit for once some facts". ;) TTFN John.

    Let's pretend we are driving a proper car.

    Of course I completely agree with you, but I guess in the grand scheme of things anything which can demonstrate range extension. (Much like Regenerative Braking) is a selling point. In fairness range anxiety isn't the issue nowadays it's the charging infrastructure. I could manage for 90% of the...
