    How on earth does he get away with this?

    i agree with what has been said regarding a pedelec on the road only having a limited power output and assist upto 15.5mph, esp considering you can ride them from 14... just i was thinking of these ebikes as being a way to stop pumping dead dinosaurs out the exhaust pipes of my daily use car and...

    How on earth does he get away with this?

    ah i see, reading through this i though the police were pretty strict on this. as a noob just to clarify, if the 5200w motor on the bike was restricted back to a max output of 250w and a max speed of 15.5mph on a pre 2016 bike then it would be perfectly legal and in the same boat as anyone using...

    hi, new member here, it was actually the bike in question that brought me to the forum after watching many e-bike reviews. after reading through this post i never realised how strict some of the laws were for these things! imo if the bike has a "road legal" setting which restrict power...
