Is it Legal to Ride a UK Throttle Equipped Pedelec in Europe?

Yes but how can you show off that you've got an electric bike without a throttle. You can't glide away from the shops/pub on one pedal as you nonchalantly throw you leg over and disappear into the sunset.

Actually I used to do the first part of that on the Lafree, possible because the Panasonic system gives full thrust on a hard pedal pressure at a standstill. Of course once te leg was over I had to immediately follow with pedalling to sustain the power assist.

Much better showing off was with the eZee Quando and fully loaded very large trailer. Just a twist of the throttle with no pedalling at all was all that was necessary to glide almost silently off the mark and swiftly on. Always a popular attraction at the local council tip!

Right boys , I think that is enough, reckon Robf is on message by now!,

I'm sending a message, rather than receiving one.

Hopefully anyone who reads this thread will refrain from using an apostrophe to denote a plural.

Talking of dyslexia, The California Police Department recently ordered a large batch of door mats, to be used in Sheriff`s Offices. Each mat bore a coat of arms, and the wording "In God We trust". Two months later, an observant sheriff noticed that the wording on all the mat actually read "In Dog We Trust." All the mats had to be scrapped and replaced. There is no truth in the rumour that the Dog Handlers` section were allowed to keep theirs.
