select 28". The speedo is not entirely accurate anyway.

I think on balance of probability, we are going to remain.

what voters should worry about is the Pound in their pocket and the value of their assets. Those are the first to be hit. Austerity, inflation and interest rate rise following Brexit are very real. Brexiters say because nobody knows so it won't happen or it does not matter, that's misleading...

I'd take the 10 point lead with a very large pinch of salt. It seems to me that poll is a con trick by the pollsters to get themselves more work. A sudden movement? more polls are needed.

of course it's better if we could have our own way, trade and stay independent, we can share and participate to some of the goals of the EU through cooperation without swallowing the rest. I am not against paying access fees, they would be relatively modest anyway and probably much less than our...

cheer up! my son used to say every time I thought I had an eureka moment, dad, google it, somebody has probably done it. It's true but that has never stopped me. Member Mechaniker has done something similar with his Radon Spire carbon 12.7kg e-bike. I think it costs him about 1800 Euros. His...

just for comparison, what the London stock market lost today is enough to pay for 10 years of EU fees. Most Brexiters can't get their head round this sort of economic issue. It's their pensions, endownment policies and savings that they lose. https://www.google.co.uk/finance?q=INDEXFTSE:UKX...

Brexiters, be careful what you wish for. Last night ITV debate seems to have put Brexit ahead, Wolfgang Scheauble's comment made it worse, consequence is clear: the Pound fell sharply, FTSE100 dropped 1.9% on the day, foreign investors are nervous and pulling out.

I do accept flecc's explanation though. The imported bikes are essentially motorbikes benefiting from an exemption/concession. Fitting a throttle loses that concession. I ride a converted bike, so glad it does not matter.

I'd suggest plan B is to collaborate with an existing distributor like Amps. You can't market a bike that's not fully debugged for that sort of money outside kickstarter. Take Amps for example, they distribute for R&M, so they know how to sell quality and expensive bikes. They can help you to...

I meant members of this forum. If the kickstarter does not work, I'd suggest you come back here to discuss plan B.

£500k not big enough for VCs, they are usually interested in young businesses with gross profit at over £1m and growth potential. You may find investors here, among members. The biggest problem is the lack of successful carbon framed e-bikes. Alienozo tried last couple of years without much...

do you mean we can't take home build bikes with throttle or shop bought bikes with throttle? People have been taken their bikes on holiday in Europe with the throttle switched off or disconnected for years without trouble with the police though.

Paola, if you have to park your bike in the street in London, you should consider a relatively cheap bike without LCD. They are magnets for thieves and vandals. You also need security bolts for your saddle and wheels.

I like what you have done. However, I think you can't get into the e-bike business with less than £500k in paid up capital at the very least. The risk of under resourcing your project is simply too great. Let's say you reach your goal of 128k Euros. That may be enough to build and deliver 50...

many of them have a great capacity to be all three at once.

have you not noticed? Brexit is a godsend gift for Corbynites. New labour is doing all the campaigning while Corbyn enjoys his holiday.

It's not necessarily clever but it does make us Brexiters feel we are the boss.

that just reflects the general dislike for bureaucracy. We know we need it but we don't like it. So, individually, we may like to get out of the EU but collectively, we know that we still need the EU because in or out, the EU will still have a big influence on our livelihood, so it's better to...

I was and still am attracted by the possibility of paying for access to the EU market while looking elsewhere for new opportunities. What apalled me is conservative leavers gradually show themselves up as ukip. I would have been happier if the leave camp sticks to Gisela Stuart and dumps all...
