It is 1.8 million UK folk here actually although a percentage of those would deny being British. That is another story though. Those of us who are proud to be British and want to be treated as such with parity with the rest of the UK are ashamed when we see and hear the childish bickering and...

I've been banned from forums for writing what I would like to write here but an eleven month fully paid holiday - and continuing - makes me wonder why I worked so hard all my life.

As the still being paid stuffed shirts on strike in government here continue to let us stagnate. I understand they will be shutting down for Christmas soon but I suppose everyone needs a holiday.........

Dirty Pro Tools via Amazon. £27.99. How do they do it at that price? This is an astonishing stand, strong and sturdy with a host of clamp adjustments. Holds an e-bike with ease and security. I didn't think I would be impressed especially at that price but I was. Folds up very neatly and very...

Ok guys, with my latest need to answer the echoing "corridors of power" at Stormont could I ask a question to the e-bikes regulations experts out there? Call me lazy if you must but I never had need to learn up on regulations for a battery assisted bicycle for use by a pensioner with health...

Surprised that the length and weight are in metric back then.

I understand Damian and I wish you well. We however are pensioners only using e-bikes because of age and health issues preventing us from using conventional cycles. Although I have been on two wheels of various sorts (even 170 mph ones) for nearly 60 years we feel the repercussions of an...

Sad day. Just got the e-bikes out of the store room and into the attic. Will they ever be down again? That misguided clown has done more damage than she can imagine by registering her bike. Her 15 minutes of fame could have far reaching implications for all of the UK, not just this small part...

Although I have never had the misfortune to hear his show I understand that he rarely allows facts to get in the way of a "good" story.

That oaf Nolan has once again been out scratching for material for his show for the Hard of Thinking and he has discovered a guinea pig who has done none of us any favours. We wanted parity with the rest of the UK over use of pedelecs. The lady has applied to the DVLA apparently several times...

Thanks for that Tommie, I was beginning to think I was a voice in the wilderness. I have replied to the SOS suggesting politely that he gets someone to do some vital research before this goes too far.

Sorry, something went astray with my update there. It would appear someone has missed the point somewhere. We in Northern Ireland want to be treated similar to the rest of the UK to which we belong. We don't want a "registration process" with the DVLA as this would be different to the rest of...

Not in this part of the UK. :(

Subsidise?? Our fragmented non government is doing its very best to make it as difficult as possible for e-bikers to continue to exist here. :mad:

That is a good point. I wasn't getting any hopes up that the remnants of Stormont would be active in this so I can only assume that his lawyer is working on something DfT or PSNI wise, but all is just speculation for the moment. I've just remembered that "disabled snail".......

For those still interested - received just now. I obviously won't be heading out to pump the tyres up, we can but hope. Thanks ***, After speaking with the lawyer he is now under the impression that this will be passed pretty quickly so I won't need to ask for your participation. You will be...

Really hope it doesn't come to that. I don't mind spending money on worthwhile and necessary things but I hate wasting money.

Yes indeed but if I could ride a conventional bike I would have bought a conventional bike, sadly I am unable and the e-bike was a revelation while it lasted.

I suppose the dealer should have known before taking the supply of e-bikes from the manufacturer for sale to the public if they had always been illegal here. I can say with honesty that I never knew that since coming back "home" - or indeed when we were away in England. I have been in contact...
