Are all Trioblade e-bikes use the same 250 watt motors.
even though they are cheap seems they are still not uk road legal because of the throttle speed.

disabling the throttle will that then be a uk legal bike .

They're fine as ebikes and good value for money, but not legal as they come. The independent throttle is not allowed. You could disconnect it to solve that problem. The next thing is their speed. I don't see any sellers specifically mention that it's limited to 25 km/hr, so you need to confirm from any seller whether it is or isn’t. If it isn't restricted, you're out because there is no adjustment from the LED control panel, though there could be another way of doing it that the seller knows. If you're handy with electrics, you could swap the controller for one with an LCD and adjustable speed limit, then it would be legal when set to 25km/hr. Cost for that is about £50 to £100.

Here’s an image of mine. Or is it .?
I know what it is and how it’s been made now into a legal uk bike Sometimes ….
Nice bike, but it's the type that the police like to check. If I had one like that, I'd make damn sure it's legal - no independent throttle, limited to 15.5 mph and the motor says 250w, otherwise you'll be guilty until you can prove your innocence.
