And it Is that Good

It is a 2013 model ( I thought we are still in 2012 ) and it is 100% road legal ? is it a bike or a scooter or a moped ??

Not sure about the bike, but the grammar!


'IF COURT RIDING'

not the only example, but enough for me..

Doesn't look legal...not without the pedals fitted that the advert mentions...also I bet it can be used on throttle alone.

What a pointless thing anyway, may as well get a proper electric moped and pay the (cheap) insurance and go 30mph.

I really can't stand the number of grammatical errors in the advert either, perhaps I'm just too fussy!

Nah, not fussy at all (IMHO)

Similar to the moped style e-bike that member Synthman has and prefers.

You will get a refund within 7 days if you dont use it...minus the delivery charge of £50 which incidentally you have to pay for!lol Classic drival...sad thing is there are mugs out there that will believe anything, aren't there Frank

 

[Synthman]

That bike is quite ugly I think. I do like the digital dashboard on it though. And the "High Rider" sticker!

I thought they can be ridden from the age of 14 and not 16 as stated there?

 

[flecc]

Yes it is 14 years with the pedals fitted, they are probably getting mixed up with the 30 mph moped class which does have the 16 years lower age limit.

No indication of battery size or range either.

 

[Synthman]

No indication of battery size or range either.

36v according to the pic of the digital display.

Or look at this one Electric Moped 48v e-scooter

 

[smudger1956]

Good grief....Are those pedals actually attached to anything..? If you rode that round my neck of the woods under the guise of a 'Pedelec' it would certainly attract the attention of the local authorities.

According to the specification, it's 500 watts restricted to 25 kilowatts!

Think they mean 25 kph, but the 500 watts declaration still makes it EU/UK illegal.

 

[Synthman]

I like this one. Ever Eco | Eco Scoot A member here owns one. I wonder how much that rear rack can carry?

 

[themutiny]

Another classic (from the refund policy)....

IT MUST NOT BE UNUSED

The only good thing on there is the lady's posing .

 

[smudger1956]

Am I the only one thinking these ‘vehicles’ are a distortion of the EAPC regulations?

 

[flecc]

They aren't always, some like the model Synthman rides are certainly possible to pedal. Although specified as 250 watts, they often do have quite high outputs of up to 700 watts, but so do some regular legal e-bikes.

 

[smudger1956]

Putting it another way, it is classed as a Pedelec, but has the appearance of a moped, to the layman it is a moped, to a layman Police Officer (no disrespect here) it looks like a moped ( unless there has been a brief of ‘ if you see what appears to be a moped with no number plates, rider is not wearing a crash helmet, it could possibly be a pedelec that looks like a moped’)
My concern is this ‘interpretation’ of the ‘regulations’ may bring unnecessary scrutiny to EPAC.
