    Why Ride Rad?

    The most important difference should be the number engraved on motor. 250W or 500W or 750W or 100W.

    Why Ride Rad?

    Eggrider is not the upgrade. Controller is. Eggrider is just a display which you have there with new controller as a combo. It is sold to you because old LCD is not compatible with new controller. If what this guy say is true and your motor is rated 500W then your bike is illegal. If you have...

    Why Ride Rad?

    De gustibus non est disputandum. To be honest with you I think most cyclists would classify your bike as a moped or a bike/moped hybrid for the reason Thelarkbox mentioned above. Did you try to ride your bike without assistance? If you didn't, then try. Bikes like yours are very popular in USA...

    Future unclear for Aberdeen ebike rental scheme as operator pulls out

    I wonder what is the cost of such initiative per person who is using those bikes. It might be cheaper to buy e-bikes for all who are interested.

    As long as Bafang rated them 250W all is legal.

    Why Ride Rad?

    Changing settings in controller won't make motor and bike legal. There should be engraved rated power on motor.

    Why Ride Rad?

    What do you mean by disabling motor? Motor is either rated 250W and legal or rated 500W and illegal.

    DFT consultation on increase of 250W limit to 500W

    Yes, I was writing about pavements too. That is true, but when it comes to cyclists you can add also ignorance as there is no need to pass any test. With total lack of accountability there is no way to correct bad behavior.

    Merky bike E9

    Isn't it funny, when you can find on internet so many sponsored best buys reviews? You read about so many best bikes nobody ever heard of( best can be only one, but they usually list 10) and you end up totally confused. It is a new industry.

    DFT consultation on increase of 250W limit to 500W

    and I hope you will ride safely without accident till end of your days. I am only saying road signs are for all and you completely ignore them. One can't rely on everybody around to keep him safe. :oops:

    DFT consultation on increase of 250W limit to 500W

    Well... that is an individual choice, but even if you ride on pavement you will have to cross road sooner or later. My best advice for you is: buy a highway code, read it, learn it, make roads safer place for yourself and all of us.

    DFT consultation on increase of 250W limit to 500W

    I understand those lights keep you safe. They are like a huge flashing L telling drivers to watch out for you. Cycle paths are part of transportation infrastructure and road signs apply to them as well. You just ignore them. Watch this video again. How many times did you made an error while...

    DFT consultation on increase of 250W limit to 500W

    There is nothing wrong with junctions. each junction has very clear road signs. It is Guernay who have no clue how to ride bike on road. I remember first time when I watched it I was like Oh god.... he is going to be hit in a minute. ...and it took around two minutes for near miss.

    Help! Legal e-bike kit

    48V rear hub seems like an optimal solution for you. 48V is maximum legal voltage. It will give you extra omph. Also keep in mind legal limit is on motor rated power, not on power provided by controller, so you can have very powerful legal bike if you want to.
