Are we not all stymied in any attempt to measure the power here by that additional word "continuous" ? Only the maker can laydown what they deem "continuous" for their product, its a way different thing to peak power, which can readily be checked as long as its point of measurement is laid...

The power rating, continuous or maximum of our cars is however unlike our e-bikes not currently embedded in its usage legality.

Would you not then get those who would interfere with the speed controller!!!;)

Here you do LINK

Yes, they apply only to "motorised vehicles", but whilst that does not include legal pedelecs, once modified outside the regulations, then in does! Points on licence and fine, plus chance of being charged with its use without insurance, helmets etc.

And the outcome of the council's meeting on the 6th November was what?

That is a rear hub system, not the crank drive, so not quite "like for like" comparisons, irrespective of personal views on the relative merits..

Has there been any creditable reports of the cause? If as is being suggested here it was probably some EV, I can see that becoming a major obstacle in the drive to go the battery-based EV route.

My non electric road bike is a high cross bar type, that I lean over significantly to make throwing my right leg over the saddle way easier; into my eighties I still manage. Our electric bike I inherited when my wife finally lost the nerve to cycle is a step through, even on that I find most...

My experience is one driver and one van leaves the courier's depot with a multitude of scheduled deliveries planed, not that one man makes a unique delivery out to me, or possibly one or two others per trip, as is likely the case with using an e-bike. And he and the cargo are in the dry, or...

Absolutely, if I had "nowt" then such individuals with the scruples I had the misfortune to encounter, would at best get "nowt".

Possibly things might be rather different if a third party was injured and they, the law, or the injured parties' dependants started to take legal action? Then, possibly not being able to afford losing one's e-bike would become but a trivial matter in the scale of the potential costs being...

Still left with a great amount of energy to be dissipated, not sure if endining up with an incandescent steel box to live with, moves one very far safety wise.

Away from the bargain basement action cameras, into the better quality performance stuff, the asking prices go exponential; it seems a minefield. Focused on getting a forward facing camera, only really needed for day light, one & half hour rides, but wanting a pretty high quality of resolution...

WR, how unfortunate, my memories are so very different but probably coloured by the passing of now sixty years; the best camping experiences of our lives, youth, girlfriend, bikes and tent, an idyllic combination.

Plus, as my wife used there are high cross bar frames that have the geometry and porportions for "women" and marketed as such, Giants "Liv" range being one that was widely sold. Not that IMO women or men have particular geometries, nor even size, what makes most senses is a bike layout that you...

Yes. I am in my 80s, I have and regularly ride cross bar road bikes, a Brompton and a low step through e-bike; if a male riding a step through troubles others, I see that as their, not my problem. A down side is a step through can't place the metal where structurally it would be best, so tends...

Apologies, clearly, I must be thinking of a different posting.

I recall we were told "Winsley", that killer drag up from Limpley Stoke towards Bradford on Avon, B3108. Quite a test.

Or a Brompton or similar that you can take on the D1 bus.;)
