How old is a ebike anyway?
If you put a new motor and throttle on a vintage bike does it age date from when it became an ebike, or is it deemed pre 2016 anyway?
As pointed out above, unlike no MOT cases in which the prosecution have to prove the age of the vehicle and do so by date of first registration, it would be very difficult to prove the age of an unregistered ebike.
My guess is that unless you incriminated yourself by stating the age , the CPS would reject the case.
Bear in mind that people caught in possession of illegal drugs might well admit that they are cannabis etc. but the prosecution still need an analysis to prove that they are indeed illegal.
