speed pedelec without battery

[sb1]

hi I am wondering what the law is to ride a speed pedelec in the uk without a battery attached? would this be legal

 

[Nealh]

Yes as all the power supplied is human endeavour.
But why would you want to ?
Surely a normal light pedal bike is better ?

 

[sb1]

to get too and from legal places where I can attach the battery.

Soundwave it is a good job stupidity is not illegal otherwise they would have locked you up and thrown away the key.......

How anyone can come on a bike forum and condone drink and drug driving is beyond my comprehension.

Should we be tolerating people who come on a cycle forum advocating breaking the law by drink/drug driving.

It seems to be covered under terms & rules:

It's good to have free and open discussions but I sometimes feel things go a little too far.

playing devils advocate here,

I’m curious as to how one motoring offence can be acceptable on this forum and regularly discussed, whereas another motoring offence is condemned.

Increasing the power/speed limit of a pedelec to create an illegal motor vehicle is still illegal whether you like it or not. most folks break some laws, especially if they don’t agree with them
