And a what point does India, China etc realise they are backing a despot leader who has rivals poisoned and imprisoned, one who oversees the viscous attacks on public who dare speak against war and one capable of war crimes, like bombing hospitals, schools and deliberately targeting...

China might support Russia but it will only to be of benefit to China. Could easily become an annexe of China. In world scheme of things Russia isn't such an important player, similar GDP (when it's not sanctioned) to Italy. Xi Jinping is planning on taking it over.. He could buy it quite...

New world order Bhutan style.

MPs World wide are an embarrassment to humanity. Ours and their kin, like Macron, Biden, etc etc are terrible.(ok there is the occasional exception but at moment he/she escapes my memory,, apart from the obvious Zelenskyy) but these look like positively public spirited servants at side of those...

I suspect tho in easy pedal stakes a mountain bike type bike with crank motor is going to be way to go. Mtb by nature has both biggest range of gears and certainly lowest and if crank drive those gears are available for motor. The little mtb I built for grandson sets off nicely under throttle...

Both Tongshen kits I fitted came with "throttles"... Built grandson a 350w Tongshen on a 24 inch wheeled mtb and made mistake of fitting throttle. He often rides past Lycra clad experts uphill.... Air pedalling... Threatened to remove throttle.. He begs me not to.. Think for ease of pedalling...

I, m not convinced Woosh. Yes dropping sanctions could be part of a peace deal but do think Europe wants to wash its hands of Russia. UK can, much harder for Central Europe with their dependence on Gazprom etc. But Biden /US are claiming they can fill that void.??? There is no way Russia is...

Brilliant. Genius.

Apparently they developed almost silent fans after examing owl wings. Aero engineers for years have know saw tooth trailing /leading edges are less efficient and wondered why some birds have them. Might have poorer lift to drag ratios, but they are quiet.??? Hence owls... Mice never hear a thing.

Russia can't afford reparations. Europe will rebuild Ukraine. Russia will either change regime and try and play a modern part or become a sideshow like North Korea. Putin has seriously overplayed his hand. I don't think this episode will be forgiven for generations,even if it ends soon. At end...

We can't give in or go back. World must cope without Russian oil and food, or show that we can. For sake of people he has in his grip. Watched a demo other night, an 80 your old lady held up "no war sign*. Policeman bashed her over head with a batton. 12 year old lad in hospital with concussion...

I think you are a bit flecc. World has woken up, hopefully in time, to see not Russia but Putin's Regime for what it is. We should have realised years ago but didn't. The sanctions, the removal of Oligarchs, the financial hit, the closing of new pipe line, the massive change in defence spending...

Agreed. My motor home 12v power sockets are 15a (cig lighter plugs don't fit) I run a 12v (200w) heater rigged as a wetsuit dryer... The cig lighter sockets wouldn't cope. (there is normally an online 10a fuse in plugs) On the fridge thing, modern fridges (yes, I fitted modern ones) do in...

Yep, can be unpleasant, but think I, ll miss the smell, noise and clatter of bike engines at a meeting. I know it's not PC anymore but the old smell of castrol R, the blue haze and breakdowns are all part of the spectacle. It's a bit sterile and unemotional with ebikes. Different. Another kind...

Somebody asked which trials bike I, d hired. One of these, a 2022 version... Almost identical tho. About 10kg heavier than my last trials bike (Gasgas txt) but suspect I, d already be better on ebike.. Its strange, crazy amount of power but in soft setting it just never lost traction...

It depends what they mean by 90w. That could easily be average current drawn over a 24 hr period with door closed etc etc. Important numbers are current draw whilst running (ie actually working) and the current draw whilst starting up. (which depending on type of fridge, pump etc can be upto 6x...

Exceptions and rules Danidl. I, ll stick to needing a 3kw inverter for a big fridge. But get your point.

I bought Giant Fathom E2 and love it. Didn't think it would be better than Haibike Hards even its replacing but it is. Out climbs it easy (even tho it's essentially same motor). The software gives less help at lower cadence but supports higher cadence much better. (my average has gone up around...
