Nope. Your insurance is invalid and you are very far from being legally safe.

I am not quite sure what your expectations are. You can't make 500W motor out of Swytch kit. You bought Citroen Ami... can't make 4x4 pickup truck out of it. Why did you order Swytch in first place?

Are you taking your bike on a plane with you?

I am sure you are right. But it is more profitable to sell display for £120 :)

It also derestricts throttle.

It seems like legality of the whole thing completely eluded you despite all the effort you put into research. EggRider is a derestricting device and as such is illegal. You should not really promote it here as it is against forum rules. BTW £120 for LCD display is a robbery in bright daylight...

The most important difference should be the number engraved on motor. 250W or 500W or 750W or 100W.

Eggrider is not the upgrade. Controller is. Eggrider is just a display which you have there with new controller as a combo. It is sold to you because old LCD is not compatible with new controller. If what this guy say is true and your motor is rated 500W then your bike is illegal. If you have...

De gustibus non est disputandum. To be honest with you I think most cyclists would classify your bike as a moped or a bike/moped hybrid for the reason Thelarkbox mentioned above. Did you try to ride your bike without assistance? If you didn't, then try. Bikes like yours are very popular in USA...

I wonder what is the cost of such initiative per person who is using those bikes. It might be cheaper to buy e-bikes for all who are interested.

As long as Bafang rated them 250W all is legal.

Changing settings in controller won't make motor and bike legal. There should be engraved rated power on motor.

What do you mean by disabling motor? Motor is either rated 250W and legal or rated 500W and illegal.

Yes, I was writing about pavements too. That is true, but when it comes to cyclists you can add also ignorance as there is no need to pass any test. With total lack of accountability there is no way to correct bad behavior.

Why? Cyclists are allowed to use pavements if they ride in respectful way of course.

Yes, and perfectly legal.

Isn't it funny, when you can find on internet so many sponsored best buys reviews? You read about so many best bikes nobody ever heard of( best can be only one, but they usually list 10) and you end up totally confused. It is a new industry.

and I hope you will ride safely without accident till end of your days. I am only saying road signs are for all and you completely ignore them. One can't rely on everybody around to keep him safe. :oops:
