Exactly. They are also restricted to 250W and must cut assistance over 20kph. An e-bike that does not require the rider to pedal must be taxed an insured like a motorcycle.


Modifying the pedelec to get more speed has to be the challenge!

But why buy a pedelec anyway? Wont social services give you a mobility scooter for free?

Anyway, never mind a weedy leccy bike, how about one of these from last Sundays classics show [Linked Image]

Capacity is 5 litres, noise is unbelievable, each cylinder is from an old radial aero engine and the bike is hand made by the rider.
