    Has anyone tried to register an S-class in the UK?

    L1e-a = 1 kW 16 mph, L1e-b =speed rated tyres.The only dot marked tyres for 26" push bike rims I can find any info on where fitted to a old Japanese ebike long out of production.I have seen a couple of bikes that got through the MSVA as L1e-b with push bike tyres when they should of had speed...

    2018 type approval for EAPC with full speed throttle.

    Do the DVLA just send someone to your house to look over the panel conversions.5 points for chassis etc.

    2018 type approval for EAPC with full speed throttle.

    2018 type approval for EAPC with full speed throttle.

    So a homebuilt bike with throttle is now a moped and needs MSVA. Something needs to put in place for home builds.

    2018 type approval for EAPC with full speed throttle.

    Does any one know anything about this ? Where will the test facilities be ? SVA test centres ? Will they be in place before 1.1.2018 ? How much will it cost ? How will homebuilt bikes be affected ? What will be tested day, time driving lights,Tyres,reflectors ?? Sent from my D101 using Tapatalk

    This has been said before.On another post today juicy bikes said the meninblack have just paid them a visit to make sure they weren't selling bikes with full speed throttles.You would think juicy bikes would be the meninblack's last port of call.

    Whoosh bikes and the law

    I take 3.2 to mean the type approval for pedal assist bikes will be in place in 2018.There is no type approval for pedal assist bikes only L1e-a at the present time.So if you want a pedal assist with full speed throttle it would need to go for msva.I'am pretty sure Shemozlle 999 has said a...

    Which Electric bike to buy its a hard choice

    Have you got a link to the new changes to the type approval coming in 2018.I thought they where changing the MSVA so even petrol driven L1e-a limited to 16 mph would be pedel sensor control only.

    What's the best 250 watt...

    Think someone needs to tell the government its maximum rated power not max power.Because when the man on the street googles Ebike law they are directed to gov.UK and it says max power 250w.It's not practical to M.S.V.A a low powered moped but that is what they want people to do.

    Xiongda two speed whistle

    Yea I should think so.I made my tool because I was not happy hiting the spanner when it was resting on the freewheel thread.A second bolt should stop that.

    L1e-A testing requirements

    Has the L1e-a put an end to registering new cycle motors/motorized bicycles. Surely these types of bikes go over 16 mph,have bicycle tyres and in 2018 the engines will need to be controlled by pedaling.I suppose if you want to build a new one in 2018 it will need e/dot rated tyres,diping head...

    Xiongda 2 speed motor has died

    My died at just over 1400 miles 13 month's.The grease can be rolled in to a ball like blue tac.Fair play to Xiongda they set me a new gear set for free,I had offered to pay.Drilled and taped a fill/drain hole and now running snake oil.

    L1e-A testing requirements

    In the above file it says a L1e-a can have a internal combustion engine.How can a internal combustion engine be controlled by a pedelec sensor ? Some sort of fly by wire throttle ? Can a L1e-a pass a M.S.V.A with a throttle until 2018 ?

    Accelerator and new law question

    Wightrider I think your are correct in your thinking.Bare in mind 250w bikes with throttle where only legal for 9 months in 2015.Any thing before April 2015 would have to be limited to 200 w.As you say any motorcycle built after 1986 needs indicators,but any motorcycle built before can have...
