Hi …..... I certainly hope your fears are not borne out! It is my understanding that the NI legislation will essentially follow the GB model, so I hope this allays your fears. PSNI will certainly be supporting that position. Regards Rosie

The last time I emailed her I was told to mail another address Brian Burns | DfI Private Office Email: brian.burns@infrastructure-ni.gov.uk I did and received a vague reply that the "issue was being considered and a reply issued shortly" I have not received the reply so I am not convinced that...

I had it ready to go when I knew he was at his desk. After your explanation I will reconsider and give him the benefit of the doubt. However in the future I will monitor him and his opinions carefully because that is what they could be - just opinions. It would be fair to say that I am losing...

Thank you both. I was beginning to doubt my own knowledge / experience and felt that I was going slightly mad. The self appointed expert from who I got this "false" information is going to get a reply but it won't be pleasant and not for publication. I know I am getting a week older for every...

Right. I have just heard loud whispers that pedelecs are registered in the UK. I never had my e-bike registered when I lived in Manchester This may be a stupid question but can someone over there confirm that pedelecs do NOT have to be registered in any way in England, Scotland or Wales. Let me...

Mine is done and sent. I have gone to great lengths to reiterate to her that these are NOT self propelled vehicles, they require the rider to pedal in order to gain some assistance. I have said that the PSNI are about to be involved apparently so any help she can give us would be welcome...

Yes perhaps a bit of research. We did however as you know meet Rosie Leech the Chief of Roads Policing a while back and she assured us that she wasn't interested in an old scroat on an electric bike but she had to uphold a current law. She was very well up on the issue even before we met her...

Jim E No need to be sorry - we are glad of any support we can get. I rode motorbikes since 1964 (Bonnie's up right over the years to 851 Ducati's) and I drove Class One all over G.B since 1971. I am now retired from both activities and need neither licence, just wanted a simple retirement with...

As most of you would expect I have yet again voiced my (our) concerns to several MLAs regarding this press release. In honesty it is all wearing me out but I shall continue to torment them, as they have done to us. I received this reply this morning from Paul Given who is actually a good guy...

Unfortunately there appears to be two threads on the same subject here unless someone in admin can combine them but to keep both up to date it is going to mean duplicate posts :confused: Watching the Stormont debate this morning, one alert was as follows. 1. 'E-bikes have a role to play in...

That is a lost cause. Nobody will give a time simply because there are so many things more important than bicycles - and whether or not we agree it probably is true. Personally we have been off the roads for 3 years now but patience is wearing out. However my views on actually breaking a 'law"...

Watching the Stormont debate this morning, one alert was as follows. 1. 'E-bikes have a role to play in climate change' Alliance MLA Andrew Muir asks about the assembly's vote on Monday to adopt a climate emergency. He wants to know about the prioritising of sustainable transport The minister...

I had written to Paul Given along with several others this morning and this afternoon I received the same link from him. I suspect he believes that this is the news we have been waiting for but until I see the fine detail as to what she is proposing the tyres will remain semi soft. If I remember...

This was the section which I didn't like. It is NOT currently legal to ride electric bikes here ( unless taxed, insured, registered etc) so that line is incorrect. There should be NO legislation needed in any form around registration, licencing or insurance because none of this is required in...

Hi Jim. I was the culprit who started this thread which seems like about 20 years ago. It has turned into a monster and many friends on here have helped those of us who have been tormented by this absurd law. I am very grateful to them all. You certainly were not the only person who...

Sorry friends but I am struggling big time without a proper PC. The weekend can't come soon enough. I have just received this and I have done my best to insert the link so I hope it can be opened and I would appreciate all views from you guys who have been with us from the beginning with help...

I was intending to wait a few days but what the heck. Started again today with another set of emails to 5 of the MP's who responded, all positive responses to be fair so I am giving them another gentle "nudge". Disappointed not to have received a reply or acknowledgement at all from the SDLP...

Many thanks gw8izr. That is the very one. I am struggling with the limitations of this elderly tablet until my new NASA standard PC is built and installed this weekend. :cool:

Found it friend from Larne. It is entitled Northern Ireland EAPC Status and is down a bit but I can't do a link at present. Try to find it and have a read. Perhaps you could join us on that on that thread. Ted.
