Then there may be some pick and mixing of what she has been charged with. There is a possibility of walking from the lot but then again it is a Magistrates Court so you never know.

The speed limit is adjusted like you do with most LCDs. I doubt that she could have figured that out or even thought of derestricting it herself. The only thing is if she had a son or husband that also uses it. I can't read that Daily Mail article. Is it clear yet whether the bike was derestricted or not? I wonder if the police just lifted the wheel off the ground, and it overshot, just like any ebike would. I wish I were there to defend her, assuming that the bike hadn't been tapered with.

Formula-1-inspired carbon electric skateboard shoots riders up to 45 mph
"Manufactured by Australian startup Radium Performance, the Mach One delivers 8,000 watts via two rear-wheel motors which take it from 0 to 30 mph (48 km/h) in a claimed three seconds.

Those motors are also part of what is reportedly "the world's first torque vectoring system on an electric skateboard." In a nutshell, this setup automatically delivers more power to whichever wheel has more weight over it in a turn. According to Radium, doing so increases traction, allowing riders to power out of corners earlier."

Not convinced. How do you pedal that thing with such small wheels? Maybe the half mast trousers help.

Surely can't be long until a "250W rated" pedelec super eSUV/lorry crossover twice the size becomes available to buy. With free shorts. I really hope so, can't wait.
