    Looking for affordable commute hybride ebike

    I wonder if they have their own e-bike forum. We should send Saracen there to start mid drive vs. hub flame war. ... after few months we would send Flecc to finish them off on legal ground.

    Twist and Go 15.5mph DIY Ebikes are legal

    To calculate speed of a falling object you don't need GPS. Pen and paper is enough. I was thinking about steep hill, backpack and panniers filled with sand and down you go. Maximum speed would be a little less than speed recorded just before fatal crash. ;)

    Wow wow... hold on a minute... I quoted first post and highlighted fragment which I find funny. How is that misleading? It is not me who is creating guidelines on official sites.

    Twist and Go 15.5mph DIY Ebikes are legal

    Twist and Go 15.5mph DIY Ebikes are legal

    I want to believe twist and go throttles on converted e-bikes are legal. One of my bikes has such throttle. I find it very useful and safe, so I bookmarked letter from DfT in case of any troubles, but I have my doubts. A letter from DfT is what it is - a letter - an opinion of a single person...

    That was the link posted initially by Saracen. Why? Nobody knows. I assume he just saw picture of a bike and the price, but didn't read description or even the title.

    Perhaps it is a time and place to make an appeal: Please do not help idiots to derestrict their bikes.

    UK 20mph speed limits

    That is unfair generalization. While I agree they ride dangerously I haven't seen them speeding. Contrary to many members of this forum who brag about it here.
