You are regularly asking for advice on cycling matters here and elsewhere,

Interesting, why have you stated the above, I am wondering if you are trolling me, feel free, whatever floats your boat , why would you even comment on "here and elsewhere" is it illegal to be on Pedelec forum (the only other cycling forum I am on), why would you comment ?

Also you state "You are regularly asking for advice"

Have I broken forum rules, is there a limit to the amount of questions you can ask, amazing comment

....and should be challenged......

FWIW I think that as long as they use cheap inverter based chargers [with capacitors that don't last] and perhaps Li batteries, there is a real problem.

Which hotels/B&B's are refusing e-bikes and batteries?
Where are they?
Where do they say this - website?
Have you actually asked and been refused?
Thank you.

It could be a possibility that charging electric vehicles inside a property may invalidate any insurance that the b&b hold or be outside of the terms and conditions of the insurance agreement.
Equally I think it's also honorarable of Pinhead to let the b&b's know of his intentions rather than just attempting to sneak in a battery. It may be that in the new few years we'll see a change in b&b's where ebikes are securely stored and charged in a dedicated facilities offered by b&b's

I was simply asking you to clarify your statement with some facts (which you have since done, at least partially) in the same way that others do when answering your numerous questions.There was nothing sinister about it.
You have mentioned Pedelecs forum and I notice you are a regular contributor there. Even allowing for your condition it is not helpful for you or anybody else to call one of the most experienced and regular contributors (who has given free advice for years) an "idiot" just because you don't agree with what he says.

NOTE

E BIKES - BATTERIES can and are being refused in rooms

That's a very sweeping statement. Perhaps you could provide some source or evidence, or better still, give details if you've had personal experience.

EDIT: My apologies. I can now see your reply further up the thread.

After reading this I thought about what you said "charging electric vehicles inside a property may invalidate any insurance" and called another hotel in Llandudno, they do allow wheelchair, scooter charging in a basement with lift, so I'll call a few on the way and back, never considered some may have dedicated spaces,

You have NO idea whatsoever any idea of my condition or how it affects my daily life ! any more than any other autistic person can know how it affects any other autistic person

I only start to "react" when I feel (wrong word I know, sorry, but) attacked (replace with appropriate word)

As I said in reply to a PM the other day I have NO intent whatsoever to upset anyone, or be rude to them.

Read this

For people on the autism spectrum, a common theme is having difficulties with social interaction and interpreting other people's behaviour, as well as knowing what to say or how to behave around others. People on the autism spectrum will have varying skills and desires when it comes to social interaction.

I just wish they weree not so blasted child orientated on these sites

https://thespectrum.org.au/autism-strat ... nteraction.

individuals with autism spectrum condition (ASC) demonstrate a tradeoff between speed and accuracy when faced with emotionally-charged situations with conflict.

https://hussmanautism.org/1712-2/

We (I) often see people as attacking my view or comments, which is why I often react "fast", when I can AS OTHERS do, we turn the PC off, go away and come back later and re comment, take a recent post BOLDED it was not meant as shouting, and later corrected when time is taken to think

I therefore as I have many man y times in the past thank posters here for their patience, one very very rare forum indeed, and I have been banned (not afraid to say so, from a number in the US )

Even if you carry the best of locks, how are you then going to secure the battery to the bike?

Don't some e bike batteries lock into place?

Probably all of them, but it isn't the level of security that I'd consider appropriate for several hundred quids worth of kit being left overnight. It'd be like leaving your bike secured with a poundshop cable lock.

No, of course I don't know how your condition affects your life, although I try (and do ) sympathise and make allowances.
My request for factual information about your statement was because I intend to do an ebike tour of Wales next year. Probably Shrewsbury-Welshpool-Newtown-Machynlleth-Aberdyfi-Tywyn and return by train. You said "E BIKES - BATTERIES can and are* being refused in rooms" (* my emphasis). If some establishments have already refused them it would be useful to know, but I will make my own enquiries nearer the time.
I can asure you that I was not "attacking" you and I have not seen anyone else do so-here or on Pedelecs. If they did I would be the first to jump to your defence. Cycling should be all-inclusive.
Just a suggestion - would it help you if you saved your posts as a draft and returned to them later - giving yourself time to think how others might read them before posting?
Enjoy your cycling!
