They got in late because in the Basque country they are just a bunch of lycras :D Just got back from the local big bike shop over the border and things have changed a bit since last year's visit in the e-bike line: - fewer BH compared with a year ago - Haibike in numbers - Moonraker in numbers...

Spain not being a cycling nation... :rolleyes: Mallavia is a town with some of those +20% gradients we often talk about. They call them "streets". And just on the north side is the industrial area with Spains largest bike manufacturer. Maybe the idea of "light assist" was born while riding back...

A positive side effect of brexit: suddenly I am able to buy Irish Hereford beef which I much prefer to the local Blonde d'Aquitaine (a little bland in taste) and a vast range of Irish cheese in varying ages of maturation! Go Ireland!

If that "democracy" runs about playing World Police I think we have the right to comment, even criticize. If they are only mucking about with their own population so be it. An example: as long as Saudi Arabia imposed strange religious practices inside their own borders fine an dandy. When they...

I was commenting on him being "democratically" elected, nothing to do with you. You can't be democratically elected by a minority of votes in any other country in the world. I don't believe the USA is a democracy. I don't believe the USA is a free country. Especially if you are black or any...

Were they in a competition for designing the worlds worst looking battery box? Damn that is ugly!

Or give young people real jobs with decent wages? I know it is a bit "way out there" as a thought but it might work? Cough... Choke... Gurgle... I'll pass on that one. When a person is elected to office "democratically" with a minority of the public vote it seems to point out that the...

I you want to provide your 150 W you have to be at your best cadence and to be at cadence you have to be in the correct gear. If you don't have a throttle you will need to change down a gear or two. The Mxus (rear hub) will climb 9% average gradient hills of 2 km long at 25 km/h if you are in...

Well a Morris Traveller wouldn't help clean things up now would it? I love the sticker "My other car is a septic tank"! :)

If you are in a flat area that works no problem at all. I am going to convert Number Two to a 38 tooth single chainwheel 7 speed 11-32 freewheel setup. I will experiment with the trike running single 46 tooth front and 8 speed 11-40 rear but will probably need to go to a 10 speed 11-46 cassette...

Twizy for two people. Two Twizys for 4 people... :)

Your corruption is structural. If you are born into the right family you go to the right school and get hired via the "old boys" network into lifetime employment, not on merit, but on family name/ties/old money. When I arrived in London the tube still had ticket collectors at the exit. You soon...

In a country where some members of the forum think there is no corruption compared to France... :rolleyes:

A bike with a "250 W" Cyclone 3 kW motor :rolleyes: https://veloks.com/product/electric-touring-trike-mk3-preorder/ The claimed range is very interesting because the designer has 15,000 km of experience - it does however reflect range in Denmark, highest point 170 m...

There are already a few available and many more in the pipeline, the most promising one for the UK market coming from Norway. https://www.podbike.com/ Impossible to use where I live because of the glazed surface. Canada https://www.velometro.com/veemo/ and of course the Elf.

You are a nation of accountants and bureaucrats which imagines it is a nation of shopkeepers good at trade...

Bad back? A wee bit more than £1,700... :eek:

Some countries have too much electricity so they sell it to other countries. You are paying the price of being an island... What we need here then are removable batteries which could be shipped over the channel to be recharged :p There was a documentary on your future nuclear power station the...

Some do https://veloks.com/ufaqs/in-the-trike-legal/ That is a 3kW motor he is "restricting" to 250W and... it has a throttle "for off road use" ;) In Denmark :D

42 tooth blingring would probably do that. I think 44 is the sweet spot on flattish roads say up to about 9% gradient. Once you get over that the double chainring is the weapon of choice. My chainline is horrible but the chain falls off onto the inside chainring when I forget I shouldn't be...
