It's also reported Russians intercepted an aquatic drone, packed with explosive, last week. Probably one got through.? Would a truck bomb cause part of structure to collapse?? Would need tons more explosive on bridge than under it to render out of commission. Think there is more to come out...

I don't think it would at all. (if Ltd to 250w be useless on your hills) I have a power meter built into my Giant Fathom and agreed it does occasionally see well above 250 w (most I, ve see n is 607 w) but that is when I, m going almost bonkers, spinning crank at 110 rpm on steep prolonged...

Unless of course Russia had joined... Which folk make out was Russia 's intent, except for fact in Putin' s discussion with Nato he refused to go through entrance protocol and"stand in line with small countries". As for Russia ever getting in EU. Utter ridiculous. EU has a democracy test, which...

OG may have many faults and certainly lots of qualities, but levelling that one at him is ridiculous, which, I, m afraid, seems to be the norm for your posts concerning Russia. You seem to have a bizaar notion that both living in Russia and Putin's current actions are somehow reasonable. I...

I don't think anyone is defending actions of USA. They have much to answer for but to assume that they are in any way responsible for Putins grandiose plans of expansionisn on Russia's behalf atually starts to sound utterly bonkers. Its exactly why I stopped posting. I began to think Flecc was...

Wait til you have grand kids on scene. More of them, you have less influence and you still worry about "the kids" that gave them you. Mind you, you can fill them up with E numbers, powerade and chocolate before sending them home, to get your own back for all those sleepless nights.!!!

Mine claimed to do that but actually couldn't. Below 10 mph (or so) computer worked fine and gave representative figures but above some threshold would suddenly show a slower speed (ie half). Trouble was neither myself or the computer knew how much time had been spent either side of threshold...

Pedelecs are limited to max powered speed of25km/h (15.5mph)..A dongle tricks bike ecu into thinking its always going under that speed, so continues giving power to much higher speeds. On my own Haibike the Dongle (fitted between rear wheel sensor and pick up) halves the pulse at speeds over...

Been at boat club all day. They actually tried to close it but the atheists amongst us ignored the silliness, but did have a minutes silence. We were sat out on water at time, engines off, wallowing and rolling. Even grandkids shut up for the duration.It was surprisingly poignant, more so than...

I always feel sceptical about investing money to save money.. Perhaps I, m a cynic at heart but after investing in cars, chargers, electricians, solar systems, heat pumps and batteries I think I, d rather be wasting my money on things I know I enjoy. Bikes, windsurfing, boats and the likes. As...

Solar home charging will work for somein UK, specifically those who don't actually need a car in first place. How many would go to expense of building home charging system, then buy an expensive EV to save money on doing 120 miles per week. Putting that in perspective, my Jag, which you could...

https://www.herefordtimes.com/news/21316730.court-fines-hereford-man-riding-electric-bike-without-licence/ About time.... Again. Suspect this may be beginning of an avalanche of prosecutions. Its not hard to find or spot transgressors,some even advertise and boast on here..Its easy goody points...

Probably, if I switch washing machine, tumble dryer, oven, all the lights off and don't use electric hob or kettle..,,,??

You can't make enough electrticity to charge your car at home either,not without a generator, which defeats the whole exercise. I was quoted on a 3.6kw PV system giving on average 6 kwh per day. With minimum of 50kwh battery in your car, no production at night, when car is parked.. And used...

Well that's not quite the differential for charging... You can charge your vehicle for as little at 7p per kwh (Octopus, variable tariff, night rate) or if you want better performance chose a BP forecourt near London and pay 58 p per kwh.. Apparently the service area stuff makes car run...

I agree about cycle life but suspect the discharge argument is thrown in by Lithium battery retailers. All batteries are rated under similar legistlation/rationale. The most popular obviously being ah(converted to wh to comparer differing voltages) . Batteries are checked over 10 hour cycle...

Think it all depends what use bike is going to be put to. Normal flattish road use and hub motors will suffice. Built 2 rear hub and 4 mid drives over years, once off road or doing steep climbs mid drive every time. Don't believe all the hype about mid drive destroying cassettes/chains. In 6000...

Agreed, 250 w hub has a much narrower envelope to deliver. Crank drive can spin to its heart content in lower gears,actually keeping current and heat losses /build up to a minimum. I, ve felt my crank drive after a hard 20 minute climb and its barely warmer than normal. I, ve never known it get...

Think folk are losing sight of their own limitations and capabilities of pedelecs. (unless all those under 20 mph averages for cyclists on Strava are wrong) I do agree/think advantages for offroad /mtb are more pronounced than for road. Buy let's face it, if you are capable of out averaging...

There must be a use to put all that methane to.. I, m sure some ICE could power a alternator running on it..??? (It's a joke Guerney but my emojis don't show up on here) Seems CNG is methane.. On a winner Guerney. Eat the sprouts /sprouted beans, collect the methane (twice) and stick with the...
