New to all this! About to get an e-bike and insurance

Jeez! Are you for real??

Totally, whats hard to swallow that signposting to relevant help in the event of a problem would be available, there are 1 or 2 bods in here with real legal experience and knowledge that have helped inform the rest of us..

or that a chap with NF for initials with a track record for screwing us over hasnt got sights set higher? or the outcome of his success would be pretty awful.

The former you can bank on, the latter i will argue over a pint.. or would if could still have a pint..

What I do know for a fact is Met Police check power out with a watt meter...Under what sort of criteria I have no idea. Anything over and above 250W they seize and confiscate. Make your choice and take your chances I suppose

May I ask, how do you know this "For a fact"?

The police would be wide open to lawsuits if they tried that. Didn't you read the attached letter in my post #27, which explains why they can't do that. If they did apply that rule, they'd seize every single ebike because a wattmeter would show more than 250w on every one of them except the Argos E-move folding bike.
