Nah, they're your Uncle & Aunt, you need to get something that your GrandDad bought to get GrandFather rightsTHE question is, If I take a 1940s classic bike such as a Raleigh and much admired by me in 1949 when my Uncle and Aunt bought a pair, and now add a 250w motor AND throttle, do I get Grandfather rights?
Why quote that article? It's got nothing to do with the point under discussion in this sub-thread portion.you do realise this website is called "pedelecs".... which does have a definition in the UK, but we'll ignore that bit
and I'm sorry, but I'm afraid its not based on irrational fear, its based on facts and conversations with land owners and organisers and it is already starting.

Because its a direct example of pedelecs being classed as motor vehicles by a large organisation, on the grounds of risk. Rather than classing them as bicycles as the law does. Which is exactly the problem we're worried about growing, to other organisations and land owners. Which was what was being discussed at that point.Why quote that article?

I think you're well on topic. Take no notice of me - sometimes I let my brain out to play without supervision ...I really wanted that guy who does fabulous wicker panniers to do me one for my trailer but he stopped selling them
Am I on subject?
I think the equilibrium has been restored in the past few weeks. It would be a shame to lose another long term memberI came on the forum tonight to post something about the London Nocturne. I do not bother reading the forum much these days, for many of the same reasons that Dave(op) mentions in his post. After reading this thread, I could not be bothered to post about the Nocturne. So like Dave, I will cycle off into the wilderness and leave you all to it. It used to be a fun place to visit. I became a member on 1st April 2009. Probably significant in my case being an old fool. I have cycled all my life and never had a forum to read about it so perhaps less time on here, more early nights will lead to more cycling and less bitching bye
Russ,Hi John,
Let me clear up a misconception for you.
There is no facility within Xenforo for admin view conversations between members. Please refrain from posting outright lies on this forum, otherwise you really will be on the 'naughty step' !
Don't make claims that you cannot substantiate.Russ,
This was the conclusion arrived at by a member during a recent conversation.
but please don't call me a liar
Hi RussDon't make claims that you cannot substantiate.
You did not say "someone else said...", you said "I think that...".
Frankly John, I am amazed that you would even consider that I would even do such a thing.
Offensive language? Please explain!A bit too electronic nerdy. If you have no electrics or electronics background highly indigestible. Very American.
