Hi, something that still isn't clear to me. Can I build this thing and use it on the road or do i have to get some approval done by someone?

Thanks Matthew, that's really helpful.

Thanks , I've watched all the videos on the Mott car. I have the plans too. I would really like a 4 wheeler though. Actually Tim Rowe started off in his videos with the idea of 4 wheels until the Irish Government told him it wouldn't be allowed on Irish roads.

Hi, thanks very much for the helpful reply. Yes, they have these Amazon delivery vehicles here in Belfast. I haven't actually seen if they have number plates on them yet but I will try to find out. There is confusion about whether 4 wheels are allowed or not. A guy on Youtube has built a...

Hi all, I'm John and I live in Belfast, northern ireland. I have my own workshop in the garden and like making things. For some time I have been lookin to build my own pedelec. I would like it to be a 4 wheeler because of stability issues with 3 wheelers. However despite the regulations...
