What a load of tosh. Right I would say look at who you might have upset in the past :? How they (one person) can take the time and energy to find some small quibbley little thing like that is beyond me. :evil: I do wonder if you have rubbed someone in the council up the wrong way in the past, may be...

Cant believe that , how small minded can they get

I must admit I thought they where about to relax the rules governing small home wind gennys and planning permission wasnt going to be required ??

Hi John Nope still looking for some replacements , thanks for sharing that info , I'll give them a look up but to be honest 40ah is rather short on ah's for my liking, even if I was to double them up I would still only be looking at 80ah , still a fair number of Ah's short of the 100Ah that the vans...

Heres a forum for all things to do with home energy.

If you make your own electricity be it with solar or wind then share your views here or help suggest to others.

You may heat your water with Solar , again let us know, or you might just have a question about home energy.

The BVS mag seems to get about 2 or 3 a year appear in it , there was a member in dorset who was selling there one Alan and Honer Ward, I'm not sure if they still have it though , it was also part running on Li-ion cells from what I remember ???

Another source might be E-bay .

I see they use a hub motor , I've riden a a different type of bike which had a hub motor and was impressed with the speed and torque it had , mind you that one was a 500w motor so double the legal limit.

I would say try and get a test drive ( ride ) with one before making your mind up .
