    Just re read this and due to it saying mainly and or,I would say either mark or plate is acceptable for shop bought or homebuilt.Gov.UK says must display. Sent from my D101 using Tapatalk

    Sorted,plate for homebuild,sticker for mass produced.My main point was they debated and agreed on Twist and go for EAPC,but in the legislation T&G needs approval. What happened in between the debate and the legislation ? Is it that they could not or did not want to overrule EU law ?

    Read my post again .I said they debated and agreed on twist and go and a plate.I went on to say what happens next.Because the legislation said mark not plate and Twist and go needs to be type approved. I know a converted bicycle does not need to be type approved .I was just asking what...

    I think today's confusion has come from the above debate on the 2015 amendments.That talked about lifting the weight limit,speed up to 15.5,power up to 250w and it was noted that EAPC would be good for business. The last point made was a EAPC should be a twist and go and have a information...

    Yes but I think manufacturer of motor as on gov.uk not bike.This identifies the motor.Can the name be on the motor? And battery info on the battery ? But you can mark up with as much info as you like nothing to stop that.Thinking sticker bomb the whole bike with electric bike law.

    So would you say mark up as on gov.UK leaving the EAPC off ? I just used the word pedelec because a EAPC is PAS.

    Yes shemozzle,a EAPCC or EAPCHB.I would say its the EAPC letters that need to be omited.I think i will follow what it says on Gov.UK.a EAPC needs power output or name of manufacture of motor, and the battery voltage or max speed.And leave out the letters EAPC.Is it in the legislation that...

    Chain replacement help please

    Put the chain in push pin out but not right out.Reposition 180 degrees push pin back in. Practice on old chain,you can push to much sometimes.The link will be stiff just re position to push pin out slightly.Motorcyclist say never put a split link in anything above 250cc.

    This does not make any sense.The hombuild rules needed clearing up this has done that sort of.But why a shop bought EAPC can't have one is beyond me. Sent from my D101 using Tapatalk

    So if your shop bought EAPC breaks and you decided to get a different motor,controller or battery you would need MSVA ? Sent from my D101 using Tapatalk
