What's your opinion of Starmer's plan to create a manufacturing base of sorts making windmills in the UK? Unless he's intending to simply buying them in from China, which could be the case, to build his new national green energy company. It'd be good to see us growing manfuacturing capability of exportable products, instead of printing money to (temporarily) keep the value of some assets belonging to a certain wealthier subset of people aloft.Most of the world rides ebikes with twist and go throttles its the norm in china and India which is a huge amount of people in itself but goes well beyond that. There is no reason for it to wear out the batteries prematurely because you have full control of electric power so you only need to twist when you need it, many ebikes assist all the time draining the battery constantly providing continuous assistance but with a twist and go ebike you don't have to do that. Even from junctions and up hills where the throttles work so brilliantly no reason not to keep pedalling it just removes the delay when the motor starts assisting so the motor works first but then is backed up by your assistance quickly afterwards of course once you are up to speed like any ebike the assistance disappears at around 15.5mph if its a legal ebike (bought before 2017 for twist and go) or one of Wisper's new specially certified twist and go ebikes.
Huge amount of ebikes are for sale with throttle and twist and go today and ebike kits with twist and go throttle sold here and across Europe too despite questionable legality. I wonder how many ebikes actually on the road have a twist and go throttle. A very high percentage of ebike kit bikes I suspect and small wheeled Chinese designed ebikes have them.
