My MacBook Pro is 11 years old and is still in daily use. Any Windows laptop bought that long ago will have long since conked out or self-clogged to the point of being useless. My iPod Classic is also a good few years old and is still going strong. It did need a new battery - about forty quid...

Good to hear a Thudbuster is working for you. As I said, it didn't seem to do a lot for me, but I might change that view after a couple of long rides using the dropper. Luckily for you, your bike is designed to take a standard seat post inside the longer post that goes into the frame. My AVE...

I've recently changed from a Thudbuster to a hydraulic dropper post to aid getting on and off the Riese and Muller bike in my avatar. Seems to me the Thudbuster didn't do a lot, although I didn't ride the bike with a rigid post to compare. Too early to tell if I will miss it. I could be...

My post is not incorrect - my summary of the Charlie Alliston case is spot on. You cited Alliston who killed someone, now you are on about a fish and chippy careless driving. Stop shifting the goal posts.

Depends on the charge. Charlie Alliston, the fixie rider who killed a pedestrian, was charged with manslaughter, so he could have got anything up to a life sentence. The jury acquitted him of that, but convicted him of dangerous cycling, which carries two years. Thus it is incorrect to say...

His bike is considered a mechanically propelled vehicle, because that's all it needs to be. As he killed someone, it was always going to be one of the death by charges. If he killed someone on a legal ebike it would still have been death by careless - if charged. You might think someone...

The only determination is that he drove a 'mechanically propelled vehicle'. For this purpose mechanically propelled includes an electric motor, as it would for an electric or hybrid car. The legality of the vehicle is irrelevant for the purpose of proving death by careless. Here's the wording...

He is charged with death by careless driving. As Grahame says, all the prosecution has to prove is he caused the death and his driving was careless, defined as a momentary lapse of attention, or riding below the standard of a careful and competent rider. For the purpose of this court case, the...

Is the current motor repairable? This company has a good general reputation and mention Impulse2 on their website. Worth a try before dropping eight hundred quid on a new one. https://www.performancelinebearings.com/

If the bike is in otherwise good condition it may be worth repairing the motor. https://www.performancelinebearings.com/

The £1,000 bike would be a factory bike, but you would have to carry a spare battery. In a way that's better because lugging that enormous pack around is pointless if you are only doing a few miles. Only take the spare when you need it for longer rides.

Close to £2,500 is a lot for a Chinese hub ebike with a big battery. You could buy a £1,000 ebike and a spare battery for about £1,400.

I'm not recommending or liking anything, merely pointing out a more valid comparison using same retailer.

A closer comparison would be a Bafang mid drive step through. This one is 1,600 euro compared to £1,300 for the woosh bike. Still a bit dearer, but it's a bit lighter and has slightly nicer finishing kit. https://greatebike.eu/e-bike-crussis-e-country-7-5-2020

One of the low power assist lighter ebikes such as the Gain might work for the way home. But I suggest you try one first to make sure it has enough grunt for the way in. Your other option is a Bosch bike, which has better engineered control software and a more of a push bike feel than the...

A 2019 Bosch crank drive bike - one with the small front ring - can be derestricted by means of a dongle. The 2020 bikes supposedly have anti-dongle software, but that may not matter because most of those will be outside your budget. This hybrid from Tredz would do the job. It has the smaller...

Takes a standard bottle cage. Quite handy, because one of the problems with this design of ebike is there's nowhere to carry a drink.

The only other Delite I can recall seeing didn't have second battery configuration, but that may have been an earlier one. Your bike also has the bottle cage mounting plate near the head tube, which was also an option at one time.

It's got the second battery tray under the cross bar so would have had a second battery somewhere along the line. The tray also includes the wiring and software which quite cleverly sips from each battery in turn when two are installed. It also charges in the same way.

Buyers will be interested in the mileage and whether you are including the second battery.
