Zero were one of the earliest electric motorcycle manufacturers (2006), but they've lost their way in the past few years. They're now geting eaten into by Livewire (aka Harley Davidson) and Energica at the top end, and Sur-ron, Super Soco, Piaggio, etc at the bottom end. Both Livewire and...

Way off topic, but would that be a 'world-beating' vehicle? One that enables us to become Global Britain: delivering on our international ambition?

It looks well made, but three-wheelers combine all the downsides of a two-wheeler + all the downsides of a four-wheeler. Pros over two wheels: - balance - this is the main advantage IMHO - more luggage/motor/battery space - a little more weather cover, but follow that line of thought and you...

It seems likely that other types of fires would not be reported either, so adding a random multipier of 5 isn't logical. Let's dig in a bit to see how '130' fires might blossom: '...e-scooter batteries being blamed for at least five residential fires in London this year - in Brixton...

Not really. Cookers are far more dangerous: - almost everyone has a cooker - not everyone is skilled at using them Smoking is next, with a significantly higher relative fatality rate (smokers falling asleep, I guess) Electrical appliances is 4th in the list, which I'm guessing a ebike/escooter...

Quite true! I meant an inner tube. I should have been more precise - sorry!

The beauty of a tube is you can carry a spare one, and mend the bust one when you're home. And my tube spend is quite a bit less than £20 every two years. The beauty of tubeless is you're less likely to get in that situation, of course! I love the idea of tubeless, but the reality isn't quite...

If you have the skills to mend/change a tube they're a fad (IMHO). If you're unsure about your puncture fixing skills they're an upgrade. > Can any wheel be converted and how puncture proof are they, does the sealant make them self healing? You need a tubeless-ready wheel. You'll need to top up...

Of course it is! You're not a pensioner yet. Compare stages 7 & 8: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erikson%27s_stages_of_psychosocial_development#Care:_generativity_vs._stagnation_(middle_adulthood,_45%E2%80%9364_years)

> Are E-bikes overpriced? If it's a depreciable item and you have to take out a bank loan / PCP to buy a new one, then it's 'overpriced' (for you). That applies to anything, regardless of how deep your pockets are. The examples given are top quality toy and utility tool respectively, so not...

Quite true, sjpt - the level of irritation also depends on how often you charge. Mine comes into the house to charge, but only once every 100 miles or so.

Don't get fooled is the answer - educate yourself. Here's how to check a link: - Hover over the link to view it - If you're on a device that can't 'hover' (i.e. no cursor) then a long press will display the link Then follow the advice here...

A fine video - good work! As another chunky owner of a secondhand Gain I think I agreed with everything you said: - fun to ride - just enough power, but you still get a puff on, which is perfect exercise - good quality build - easy, simple to use button (there is a handlbar mounted controller...

You're expecting to get a virus from a direct YouTube link? It seems they really are out to get you. I also prefer Planemo's steed to yours, just to stir the pot a little. :rolleyes: Yes, it's got too many unnecessary bends in what should be a straightline frame, but that's fashion for you, and...

The PDF datasheet linked in this page says the PF variant was only introduced in April 2013, so the date code can only mean 2020: http://www.datasheetcafe.com/ncr18650pf-datasheet-battery-panasonic/

Whoah there - you're making the thread interesting. Stop it, you two. :rolleyes:

To paraphrase Sir Robert Armstrong (re: Spycatcher), Boris is 'economical with the truth [and the law]'. 'Winging it' would be a generous description.

A bit of an aside, but you can overtake/undertake in the zig zags with one vital proviso: Rule 191 [with my underline]: You MUST NOT overtake the moving vehicle nearest the crossing or the vehicle nearest the crossing which has stopped to give way to pedestrians. The 'nearest' logic is...

Possibly not quite the same situation, flecc (unless I've read your reply incorrectly - not unusual!). I meant I'm going along the main road (near a junction) and someone at a crossing point (not a zebra one) wants to step out. Do I legally need to stop? Were I turning off the main road and the...

That's a good video, thanks. I think his point about cyclists being surprised is quite a good one - i.e. cyclists have to give way to pedestrians too, and that may well not occur to young riders or people that don't drive cars, or simply that they (the cyclists) are already vulnerable...
