Hi guys,
So I thought I would pop a quick post up as I am sure you are all well aware that the Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycles (Amendment) Regulations 2015 states that electric bikes that have powered assistance to a maximum of 25 km/h (15.5 mph) using a motor of no more than 250 Watts rated output are considered bicycles.
Therefore type approval is not required. Pedelecs can be used legally without registration, road tax, a driving licence, insurance or the use of a crash helmet. They can be cycled on a cycle path and the rider must obey the laws appertaining to a standard pedal driven bicycle.
So if anybody would like to look at insuring their Pedelec, by all means get in touch!
Kind regards
Jordan
