OK Guys, this is where I am about to be evicted from the forum. :( We have had an in depth conversation and with our clocks ticking ever louder and Stormont moving ever closer into oblivion we have decided that radical action is needed. This very morning I went to a well established cycle...

Hang about o_O - who mentioned 70's. I am 68 and Anne is 65. :)

No Danidl, when we went there to "test the reaction" we were told that they had no objection to us leaving the park should we choose and cycling on the public road network outside its boundries. But we read that as, they had no objections, not that doing so was illegal. A subtle difference...

Yes Tommie we have actually been at that very park and went into the well equipped store and were shown around an array of well used e-bikes and saw quite a lot being washed in another compound. You will know where I mean. The attendants were most helpful although we never told them that we...

Yes indeed but with all due respect to you my wife and I endured a 78 month war (and I mean WAR) with an obstinate insurance company several years ago after my industrial accident. It almost broke us mentally and neither of us has fully recovered even though the result went in our favour. When I...

After returning from my assessment for admittance to the local Home for the Bewildered earlier today I rang a well established cycle dealers in Belfast and although the owner told me they don't deal in e-bikes he was astonished that anyone was actually adhering to these ludicrous laws. He told...

There is little point in me replying to this post as it seems that I have already had it written for me!!! Everything you say applies to us apart from the single sentence "continue to ride my e-bike". We simply cannot do this with the knowledge that a simple innocent ride could result in a...

As we were living in England between 1978 and 2011 we had no knowledge of the ongoing nightmare involving e-bikes here in N.I. When we returned in 2011 we bought two bikes but were never told that the anomaly in the law existed. I believe we should have been told even though it was in a "grey"...

We have our own here but there are occasional "clashes" for various requirements. I believe that ******** Anne while on her 15 minutes of fame trip was successful in registration via the DVLA Wales. I could be wrong and I am in enough trouble here with my comments elsewhere which apparently...

Option 1 is out. Option 2 is expensive and we are hoping for a return under a mis sold argument but we are trading carefully as this progresses. Option 3. Refuse to use them as slow mopeds. Undoubtedly unsaleable here and as Flecc has said they would be worth a fraction should we find a buyer in...

Flecc, someone like yourself who is clever and of sound mind would be ideal to further these thoughts legally. I am tired and worn out with it all. If I remember correctly around the beginning of 2018 I had a lot of contact with the CEO of the company whose bikes we bought. In honesty he was...

Without going into boring (and painful) memories of an industrial accident which destroyed our lives I would have to say that prior to that day I was sure I was indestructible and had the confidence to go with that. Since the accident I have neither and it is hard to bear most days. Am I...

Mike Killay I tried to upload the official reply from the Chief Constable which was sent via a third party to me but the forum (?) rejected my attempts for whatever reason, probably my stupidity. I have typed it out for information purposes...

Totally 100% agree Damian. Discrimination. When I think back to the great and innocent times we had cycling to the Titanic Quarter and other places which my health issues would have prohibited me from visiting I remember thinking just how good it was and what would ever prevent us from our...

No Tommie you are not wrong. The same answer however is easy for those in power, brush us under the carpet whilst "playing their card" which is "we can't agree and until we can we will continue to trouser the wages". I might have already said that just before the holidays I had an unsatisfactory...

Don't want to give up mate but we are both in middle 60s and not getting any younger by the day. The government is however in nowhere near as much of a hurry as we are.

Interesting to read all your comments. I can't help but think that we will be in trouble here soon and in the event of the dealer / manufacturers refusing to accept our bikes back again - denying misellng - does anyone have any ideas as to how we could sell them in the more agreeable part of the...

As all of you guys will know this is a fiasco of Biblical proportions and personally I cannot see it being resolved with or without a government here. I have already (reluctantly) drafted a letter to the manufacturer suggesting that either him or his agents should have researched the legalities...

I won't argue with you regarding this but it doesn't agree with the info I am getting from several polititions and indeed the SOS who have replied to me. It also conflicts with the letter I received to my question to the PSNI so as far as I am concerned I trust neither. Either way as I said a...

Your comment craiggor about bringing your e-bike across to N.I. for a holiday break perhaps is an interesting one to which I have no answer apart from feeling that should you have the misfortune to have an accident / incident you could in theory be prosecuted for using an illegal "vehicle" on...
