    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    I don't know where to start here but what I do know is that over the last eight months I have fought long and hard with many departments to avoid having to go down the registration route. This is a slippery slope which will end in tears and as LeighPing just beat me to it - no ability to use...

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    It would be fair to say that out of all who I wrote to in the empty chambers at Stormont I only received a couple of noteworthy replies. I was disappointed with another two in particular who did reply but offered nothing, making me feel it was in some way our fault that no agreement could be...

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    My apologies for resurrecting this thread once again but I have just received a reply from on high addressed to Steven Agnew who was obliging enough to meet with us at Stormont several weeks ago and present some questions on our behalf. I have noticed the reference to an "engine" which perhaps...

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    I believe that was the letter written by Inspector Leech. I had a meeting with her and I posted her comments #374. It really is still a grey and uneasy area perhaps with some areas of PSNI interpreting the "recommendations" to suit circumstances and others doggedly upholding what is still an...

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    Hi Rusty Good to hear from you and appreciated your efforts to keep our dilemma active with those in power - if power is the word I am looking for. Nice to know that you are just up the mountain a bit from us - and hilly is something of an understatement! I know the area well. I wish you well...

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    As I am what could be termed a stubborn person I decided that I had enough ammunition to further this anomaly. I wrote to the DVA in Coleraine and explained the error of their ways regarding the categories on my current licence. The last time I embarked on this challenge I was told in no...

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    Hi Guys For those of you still interested I called at the Roads Policing Complex Lisburn this morning. I wasn’t allowed in and neither was my car. Fair to say this place is not the village cop shop, this is one level down from Fort Knox. I was told to wait in the car park and in ten minutes...

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    I am going into hospital tomorrow but before I go I will call into the Road Policing Sprucefield Complex where it appears this letter originated from. This complex is actually ten minutes from where we live and my attempts to speak to someone on the phone have been unsuccessful - so I will call...

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    I can't help but think that the PSNI starting a FB page extolling their "success" in removing a dangerous bicycle from the streets was maybe not in their best interests. Their fragile credibility has been called into question via the amount of adverse comments but they compounded this by...

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    Ah there you are Tommie lad. This is gathering momentum, there are a whole bunch of us. Coming out of the woodwork. This is very heartening for me as I was being convinced that FB was the only way to inner happiness.

    Should we let this go now? Each to their own.

    Crikey, this is nothing short of a revelation for a Bank Holiday.

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    What are you saying? Are there two of us? Am I not actually alone in this world? Blimey. :rolleyes:

    Part two, the page was too long.

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    Flecc hope you can open this. Screen grabs of PSNI warning for all on FB. The replies are now altered from over 500 for whatever reason.........

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    Page now appears to be updated? The monster amount of comments has been altered considerably.

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    Anne is involved with FB so she drew my attention to it originally. I have just looked again via her account and the post is still there with the 500+ comments. Not sure why you are getting that failure. Have to say while reading it again that the word which sums up the PSNI instruction is 90%...

    Thanks LeighPing. That is the very one. Sorry I should have inserted the link - with over 500 comments apparently. :eek:

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    Thanks to all you guys who stayed with us through this fiasco. All your input, support and opinions were much appreciated. Although I don't use Facebook I have been led towards a Facebook site PSNI North Coast which covers the area which involved a confiscated e-bike. The story is well down the...
