    Mobile phone use and headphones.. Should there be a law against their use when walking on a shared cycle path?

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    Like it or not, you're going with option 2 then. :oops: @TedG Did you buy them before the change in the law become public knowledge? If so, then the seller has sold it or them to you in good faith. Waiting for their 'good will' refund will probably take around the same amount of time as...

    Update on N.I. e-bike regs.

    If @flecc's loophole in the law fails, you'd best sell those bikes, if you can over there, while they're still worth something. It's all a very time consuming affair and, after having had an electric bike, regular bikes aren't really a helpful or even a fun option. The way it is gives you 3...

    Legal or not?

    Almost everyone in Europe carries their child / kid on their bikes. We used to do it all the time when we lived in Germany. An ebike is no different.. in most places Tommie.. :oops:

    Legal or not?

    I like that it has front and rear footrests for both rider and passenger. That mean that the passenger could technically do all the pedalling. Is there a law against that? :D

    Legal or not?

    Other than having a throttle, which you could easily disconnect, it appears to meet the legal criteria for a pedelec in the UK.
