    News - DfT: Pedal cycles converted to ‘twist and go’ exempt from type approval

    News - DfT: Pedal cycles converted to ‘twist and go’ exempt from type approval

    I think when the lighting law comes in to force homebuilders will have to follow that,we are not totally outside the law.

    News - DfT: Pedal cycles converted to ‘twist and go’ exempt from type approval

    I think the daytime lights come when type aprovel comes.All new motor bikes have to have them from Jan 2016.I think this new statement finally makes a homebuilt bike legal.As for selling new bikes some where selling bikes with throttle ready to be connected.It is now legal for the person...

    L1e-A testing requirements

    Don't think Wim Van Decamp has managed to stop English motorcyclist's from tuning there bikes yet.They have managed to get daytime driving lights brought in.This is something I don't agree with,when I use them I seem get more drivers pulling out in front of me.I can only think this is due to...

    L1e-A testing requirements

    Yes,as you said before all the homebuilder can HOPE for is to be legal if he complies to the rules.I am sure if I ran in to someone they could get a lawyer to prove my bike was illegal. Sent from my D101 using Tapatalk

    L1e-A testing requirements

    Is there a law saying if the vehicle is to be adapted for use by a disabled person,it does not need to go for SVA ? It was the first question asked to the guy from VOSA when he was answering question's on the trike forum.This was back in 2010/11.The answer back then was yes that's OK no SVA.If...

    One bike, for one day.

    John will most probably win the zero TT again.But I love that a lot of the bikes run Cedric Lynch designed agni motors.Cedric on a earlier machine.When I first saw this agni motorI thought someone had put a MZ 251 in a trails bike.

    Hello everyone! Please read about my vintage conversion and help me decide!

    Any front hub kit should do the job if it fits in your forks.Don't know which is the best.Some people say Integrated controllers are not the best thing due to heat build up.New rod brakes from India on eBay.You would need the rod brake handle bars,they have special attachments for the rods...

    Bit confused about the Bosch Drive Unit Performance CX

    Hello everyone! Please read about my vintage conversion and help me decide!

    Red leader, bandits approaching from the south east. Front hub sounds a good idea,you will lose your drum brake.What size wheels 28" ? I think 700c will be be the same diameter.With a modern wheel you can fit a caliper front brake,the rim on your bike looks like one for rod brakes. Wicker basket...

    Can we build 750 watt road legal bicycles?

    An engine swop has never needed a inspection.The SVA is for radically modified and unregistered vehicles.Strictly speaking a tow bar is a modification to the chassis.[emoji6]I my self can't understand it.V8 reliant OK.20 mph ebike the spawn of the devil.

    They are following there rules.The v5 was sent back to him with a change of tax classification to electric.As I said before going up a tax bracket needs no prof ,you pay more tax.If you down rate you have to provide Prof.

    Conversion kits

    UK.gov and the pedelecs law page, say off road switches and modes are illegal.My led back light has 5 settings/modes.Not saying my back light is illegal,just that it has modes,you press a button to change modes just like certain ebike display's. Sent from my D101 using Tapatalk

    Why do the EU/ dft think throttles are bad ? Are they seen as dangerous ? Is there any accident statistics ? Sent from my D101 using Tapatalk
