The rear was fitted with a 3 LED replacement bulb, which was fine. The front was. a high power LED, but two issues. Heat and battery life. The heat can distort the plastic reflector, and battery life is less than an hour Thanks for that. I’m going to try something similar. We’ll see about the batte...

I have an old Major Nichols bike and it occurred to me an Ever Ready bike light would fit brilliantly on it. Of course I'm old enough to have ridden with Ever Not Ready lights and they were pretty poor to compare with today's lights. So then I formed the mad plan to fit a modern light inside the ol...

About 52.4 million adults in the UK in 2018. So a little rounding down thats 52 million people divided by 32 million cars. ( pun intended....) Which is about 62% which feels more right to me than 81%. And as others have said cost is a factor for both the very young, and the unemployed and low paid....

I wonder what the weight of one of these beasties is :roll: thats why it is an ebike with a motor assist And of course it matters much less if it's 20 or 30kg when it's designed to have 80+kg pf rider and 100kg+ of cargo.
