    Have I missed anything?

    A crank drive motor operates efficiently at approximately 2/3rds of its maximum speed. A bicycle fitted with one gives you the option of changing gears to maintain the optimum motor speed for maximum efficiency of the motor thus you will have several sweet spots.

    Will the end of full speed throttles in January 2016 cause a rush to buy.

    I very much doubt it, the walk beside facility is designed to assist when walking a bicycle up a hill while not loaded. If you follow the above poor advice above and use it as described make sure your warranty covers you as the possibility of cooking the motor while running it in such a low...

    Will the end of full speed throttles in January 2016 cause a rush to buy.

    With every boom you are going to get a bust when those existing Pedelecers you have seen are no long able to provide enough constant input into the pedals.

    Some countries and states have horizontal lights and you have to remember which is the stop one. Apparently in Quebec the lights have particular shapes to help you tell what they are, especially for colour blind drivers. Red is a square, Yellow is a diamond, a square rotated 45 degrees and...

    But only if they are still safe to ride i.e. they are not impaired by restrictive conditions which might impact on other road users. There is no testing for competence required it is down to the individual to assess. I was glad my late father gave up driving, he ignored all the families advice...
