I bought mine when they first appeared at £20 less change. Now a bit p***ed off.

I find all this very interesting, but it seems that you have destroyed all my cunning plans and I am back where I started. I will just have to shove my current, stopgap, 250w with throttle on the back of my MH and shove off to France etc. and see what, if anything, happens. Many thanks to all of...

Then would it be possible to use a 250w motor with a 350w controller and get the equivalent of 350w for a short time, like when going up the steepest part of a hill?

Yes but the walk-along throttle that I have seen was a tiny button and walk-along is not like riding uphill without pedalling. The comment about a policeman actually riding the bike suggests a possible problem if the bike was capable of going faster than 25KPH. I have not seen any overpowered...

I assume that several of the people here have ridden their biles in Europe and that many of these have throttles or even overpowered bikes. Have any of those had their bikes checked by the local police and, if so, what was the result? For that matter, has anybody been stopped by the police in...

It was ever thus! Battery powered vehicles having the disadvantage of total weight impairing hill climbing means those selling them have usually operated from flat areas to avoid the problem. I can give many examples. Yes, I think that you are right, sadly. Perhaps it also means that I, in my...
