They actually caught someone?
Did he nick Two Tiers fone?
Bet there's some interesting activities on that?
Allegedly! ;-)
The perp's POV GoPro footage would have been brilliant viewing.
He really ought to have been more prepared - could have lost them with a folding bike on the underground, ninja smoke bombs and supernatural powers of invisibility, a train or two, furtive subway and park lurkings under a camouflage tarp, some taxi rides, a series of unmarked vans and a couple of buses etc. Allowed himself to be taken alive too. Amateurs.

Expect this is why their bikes are locked down now?
Now seems the two collided in the carriageway while crossing the road?

Good to see that at last there is some official recognition that the term e-bike and its variants should never be used.E-bikes, and confusion from the Courts or the media or both

I've argued this many times in here , only to be shouted down, explaining why there's no such thing as an e-bike, if we accept that the "e" refers to being electrically powered and "bike" refers to bicycle.
That is because our legal EAPCs are Electric Assist Pedal Cycles and NEVER electrically powered, since in law the power can only ever follow pedalling, however light. Therefore only assisting, never powering alone.
So any use of the term e-bike refers to an electric motor vehicle in law, such as an e-moped or e-motorcycle or e-scooter, never a bicycle.
Sad though that the article is still so wrong in many other ways, for example repeatedly stating that 250 watts is 25 kilowatts when it is in fact 0.25 kilowatts.
.
'E-cycle' has been in use on gov.uk, they've listened to you and it works well I reckon.
Battery safety for e-cycle users - GOV.UK
Proposed changes to legislation for electrically assisted pedal cycles – outcome - GOV.UK
... concerning electrically assisted pedal cycles (EAPCs) or ‘e-cycles’.

He shouldn't have been done for Careless *Driving* in the first place. "Furious Cycling" maybe?
Wish we had some cctv to peruse..
Count the frames/time against the distance between 2 lamposts and work out his speed.
Hours of fun, even put the A.I on it?

my lay understanding is that with a criminal conviction any civil suit for damages is a sure thing win.. even a jobless 17 yr old with plans to go bankrupt a few times wont find it easy to shake of a liability judgement?- But then again ive been spoon fed fairy tales of poetic justice by tv etc for decades without personal reasons to visit any courts.. ..
We don't know the facts. Maybe the guy was just innocently pedalling along, when the jogger jumped out in front of him. His 750w bike is legal in Ireland, and he's allowed to use the cycle path. They mentioned the bus stop, so it's possible the pedestrians were on the cycle path. so he went onto the footpath to avoid them, when the jogger jumped on through the gap to the side. have a look on street view to see what I mean.

‘My foot was dangling loose’: Jogger injured by e-bike in Dublin feels ‘let down’
Karl Leonard’s successful landmark private prosecution opens door for possible compensation
He will get damages from the Motor Insurers’ Bureau because its a e-vehicle and not an epac. Its up to the Motor Insurers’ Bureau to recoup the money from Dunne. .
The bike involved in the Irish accident was reported as an ENGWE EP-2 Pro Folding e-bike. (750W ?)
This a misleading video as it fails to mention that, Irish Road Tracffic act "defines a mechanically propelled vehicle as one, inter alia, intended or adapted for propulsion by mechanical means, including a bicycle equipped with an auxiliary electric motor greater than 0.25kw."
This one was reported to have a 750W motor.

Hehe, this I because they spend so much time *inflating* ;-) their expenses claims with extra zeros, that they automatically add zeros to every figure they write! ?
