    Throttles allowed?

    Hi vfr! I don’t think there was a special dispensation to allow EAPCs with a full throttle without TA. The new Wayfarer range makes me smile too. They will be superb! All the best, David

    As of a couple of weeks ago it has become legal to put a throttle onto an ebike. Type approval costs £55.00, we can arrange if anyone is interested in a Wisper with full throttle. All the best, David

    Ahh, good spot. We have remembered, but as it costs about £1000 for each CNC frame prototype, this is the same frame as in posts 34 and 36, painted and built into a bike. The pre production model will have bottle anchors fitted. All the best, David
