A man in his 20s was arrested following the collision between a car and an electric bike.

They do a road side swab which tests for cocaine and cannabis (why not heroin I wonder?) which is very accurate, this leads to an evidential blood test.I wouldn't credit the arrest for being under the influence as proof, it could easily be an over reach by an enthusiastic promotion hungry copper, its kinda their 'brand ' after all.
The road side swab test for cannabis is very sensitive rather than very accurate as it can test positive 8-12 hours after consumption when the effects will have worn off in 4-5 hours.They do a road side swab which tests for cocaine and cannabis (why not heroin I wonder?) which is very accurate, this leads to an evidential blood test.
Karma has a way of dealing with people, who wish bad things on innocent people. At the moment, there is no evidence that the Sur Ron rider didn't have a licence and insurance, and, in case you didn't know, they're not illegal either. That sort of biggoted thinking is dangerous. It can cause people to buy crank-drive bikes and believe they did the right thing:"

SURON bike, good, he could have killed a pedestrian, no sympathy, these people buy these bikes as a cheap alternative and no licence needed to a motorbike so no insurance.
It would be interesting to know if there are actually any registered road legal versions of these machines on the road in the UK.
Heroin is very different in that it mimics the body's natural L-dopamine. It's the excess mimicry and shutting down of the natural L-dopamine production that is harmful, otherwise it doesn't affect functionality.They do a road side swab which tests for cocaine and cannabis (why not heroin I wonder?)

That's what gets so annoying about the media how electric bicycles are mixed with electric motorcycles or mopeds. If there are no pedals then the person is not a cyclist and it is not an electric bicycle. I know it can get confusing if you have one of those tiny mopeds from China without pedals but a large off-road Sur Ron without pedals with very high wattage isn't even close to being a electric bicycle and should never be confused with one. It's now very hard to get correct statistics about injuries and incidents caused by electric bicycles because you get electric motorcycles included in those statistics.There is a road legal Suron , it does though need to be registered and licenced as per any moped or motorcycle.
The guy in d8veh's post seems to show a lack of responsibilty like a lot of these riders on mopeds, speeding and passing on narrow streets where an accident is waiting to happen with parked vehicles, side roads and possible pedestrians and other traffic to be of concern.
It isn't. Stop showing your ignorance, and don't put yourself and the forum at risk of legal action from Sur Ron by making false and derogatory statements.The bike is ILLEGAL on the road
There's one near me that often filters past me in my car. Has a full size motorcycle reg plate and he rides sensibly.It would be interesting to know if there are actually any registered road legal versions of these machines on the road in the UK.
