    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There was a bio-documentary of Merkel on arte recently, we got to see the day she changed her mind on immigration. She was giving a speech to a group of migrants and one young girl said her family hadn't been accepted and was being sent back to Syria and burst into tears. Merkel came over to...

    Measure battery capacity

    Most Watt meters have a mAh reading, the easy way is to put it inline between the charger and the battery to see how many mAh you put in when you charge it. You are correct there will be some difference between what you put in and what you get back out but it will give a decent idea of capacity.

    going over the 15.5 cut off point

    None for you - unless you are caught speeding. Things are a bit different for kits where the tolerance is 5% but haven't heard of a court case yet.

    Just to be complete Trump has put a tariff on Chinese e-bikes. Maybe he was inspired by the EU?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It is called "evolution" wasn't Darwin one of yours? Nobody expected an orange coloured git to put the future of NATO at risk at the time. As I pointed out elsewhere armies in the EU have been very keen on getting together, even more so than politicians, particularly the British army. Maybe...

    LiPo has a few inconveniences but hill climbing is not one of them :) - Charging is a bit of a faf, requires lots of discipline and somewhere safe. I used to charge in the oven (think flameproof box) but an ammunition box is quite popular for charging and storing - They don't give the number of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I wish you were exporting more Angus beef here! To keep this brexit themed the worst steak I ever ate in my life was in a Holiday Inn in Massachusetts, that is what the brexit mob want for post brexit UK. I did have a reasonable steak in Boston - it was in an Irish steak house and the meat was...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I guess you aren't fluent in French? Paris is just as expensive as London if you are a visitor. To live there however: You would need around 5,246.59€ (4,649.00£) in London to maintain the same standard of life that you can have with 4,600.00€ in Paris (assuming you rent in both cities). This...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    And the people who have to talk about this seriously - country leaders - have only started talking more seriously since Trump threw his toys out of the NATO pram, i.e. earlier this year. It will be on the commission agenda when EU leaders ask them to put it there.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The fact that the plan of what it intends to evolve into has been written out in clear language and published for quite some time on the various web sites it runs seems to have escaped your attention?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    My point was should the UK wish to rejoin in the future I cannot see you giving up the GBP. I think if you had a referendum on that it would (going out on a limb here) be an 85/15 vote against. You haven't been fully paid up members since Thatcher and have been sending w@nkers with no other...

    Rejoining means joining the Euro, it is now one of the conditions. That will never happen I'm afraid.

    Woosh 13AH downtube battery - ~12 cycles/260 miles

    Agree 100% with Kirsten, get a second 10.4 Ah hl battery. If you are handy with a soldering iron you could even wire them up in parallel which would give you range and more oompfff! in the hills.
