Been there and done it!...For drills and such like it's not an issue IMHO

My bad: I should have phrased my response a bit better . I look after Rickshaw type vehicles for a guy that uses them for mobile adverts that sort of malarkey. He had an incidence they were seized by PC Plod. Found to be illegal. they would have been crushed. Not sure how he wangled out of it...

I meant say a serious/ fatal accident involving a third party..while operating that bike in illegal mode?

Going down a rabbit hole I have zero appetite to join you...Sorry.and Bye.

Really? I saw a posting on Endless Sphere not that long ago .... From a Dutch subscriber. Either way,PC Plod in Central London DO check the power output of leccy bikes with Watt meters!....Ask me how I know!
