Hi all,
I have an ebike which I have been cycling to commute to work oblivious to the fact an ebike needs to be registered, taxed, insured and motorbike helmet worn when cycling in Northern Ireland.
There is some debate that European law overrides the northern irish legislation regarding ebike regulations. Has anyone else in Northern Ireland had to go through this process?
I have read on these forums that the ebike test for registration is done againthe motorcycle criteria so you need a headlight, stop light, motorbike tyres etc?
Apparently the delay in bringing Northern Ireland into line with the rest of the UK is down to not having any politicians at Stormont to push through the legislation.
Using the car for commuting again but I miss my bike, not sitting in traffic and not worrying about parking :-(
