Street legal

I agree the 15.5mph cut off is inconvenient, but it remains the law of the land.

The law of the whole EU!!
Maybe after BREXIT, things may change?

Far wider than the EU, the 25 kph (15.6 mph) assist limit is the world standard, in force in all these countries:

The EU countries, all the EFTA countries, Switzerland, Israel, Russia, Japan, China, India, Australia and New Zealand and some lesser countries.

All those except New Zealand have the 250 watts power limit too. New Zealand has that at 300 watts. Of course there are no 300 watt e-bikes, but the Kiwis can't bear doing anything the same as the Australians.

So I'm sure there's absolutely no chance our UK law will ever be changed and it's a waste of time trying to get it changed. Internationally it's here to stay.
