Throttle legislation in UK

[Bikesman]

Hi does anyone know what is the max limit the throttle assistance is in the UK? Is it the same ass pedal assist 15.5mph?

Cheers

Yes.

If it's a strict EN5194 compliant bike it will be limited to 6km/h though.

So basically just enough power to walk the bike up a hill then?

You can go up to 15.5 mph with a throttle in the UK. There's no requirement to comply with EN15194.

Any quality mountain ebike manufactures make bikes with the 15.5mph throttle in uk?

They're all quality bikes. Price has nothing to do with quality. We've had very few people on this forum that weren't happy with the bike that they bought, and those that weren't cover the complete price range.

If you want a high specification bike with a throttle, look at the Oxygen E-mate MTB:

Cheers,
Does the oxygen e-mate throttle take up to the 25 km/h mark?

Yes, and a lot more if you change the settings in the LCD.
