    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    I doubt that Mrs Bradley will personally read the letters anyway, a Civil Servant will collate them and give her a summary. That is why long letters are not needed, just the number of letters received. Why is everyone so reluctant to join the request?

    Question about the C5 setting on the KT-LCD3?

    If only! my problem is that besides weighing 108 kg, my old legs have not got power in them at all. I don't want speed, 15 mph is more than enough but I do want more bottom end grunt, even on my mid motor. I have looked at shunt soldering, but frankly am too nervous to try.

    Fat bikes on beach

    My experience of riding pedal and motor bikes on sand is that corrosion is not an issue, but rapid wear from the sand getting into all moving parts is.

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    Come on everyone, rally around and send a letter to the Secretary of State. If you wish copy mine. This is important because if things go wrong, especially post Brexit, we could find the current NI solution (i.e. registration with DVLA etc.) becomes the norm in the UK karen.bradley.mp@parliament.uk

    Bosch crank arm removal - damaged thread

    One of the cranks on my TONARO was on so tight that I had to heat it up with a blow lamp before it would budge.

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. Dear Ms Bradley, I am sure that by now you are well aware that because of the situation regarding governance in NI, electric bikes are considered to be motor cycles in NI. In the rest of the UK and Europe, they are legally considered to be pedal...

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    Ted, I feel for you both, but NI is staggeringly full of squabbling bickering idiot politicians frothing at the mouth over flags and imagined slights. (Actually Wales is not much better. Here it is the language which now by law must be thrust into every corner of the land regardless of the...

    Pricing of E-Bike, an academic survey

    Well, according to Wiki, conjoint analysis is a valid thing, but whether it works is another matter. Look how the pricing of the G Tech bike wobbled all over the place. My guess is that most marketers look at other products, calculate their costs and price as competitively as possible. (Except...

    Pricing of E-Bike, an academic survey

    Hello everyone, I am David :D, I am studying Marketing at LSE. We have recently started an academic project on the price of E-bike for our pricing course. I am not too sure that I buy this. The market sets the price, not some vague LSE research.

    International Women’s Day

    The thing is, I don't know any real women who do complain, from my nieces in their 20s, daughter in her 30s my friends in 70s and 80s.

    Change UK law to allow 30mph ebikes

    And you can buy a frozen bag of 8 chicken legs in the Supermarket. Never had chickens with 8 legs when I was a youngster.

    Guernsey first to apply ebike law?

    Presumably he was speeding. This may well not be the first case and only got press coverage because of the size of the island. Seeing the mainland Police preference for issuing cautions, we really do not know if others have been caught. In a city, a guilty plea in a suburban magistrates court to...

    Death by dangerous riding introduced

    I totally agree. If you look at the courier case, the lack of any brakes inflamed the Press and it was open season then. His stupid lippy statements did not help, but the fact was that the pedestrian was the primary cause of the accident. Although we do not have any jay walking laws per se, it...

    Go to work on a Pineapple! Wisper Folder sneak preview.

    My objection to integrated batteries is the difficulty of removing them from the bike. I carry my folder in the boot of my car, which means that to lift it over the tail gate and position it inside the boot I have to do it at arms length. Make sure that when folded, the battery is easily removed...
