Nothing in there supports what he's said as far as I can see.

Which law are you basing this on?

Sure. But that's not what you said. "But my kit is illegal anyway, because I can change the max speed - if they look closely. " Being able to change the max speed is surely not illegal per se. Being able to change it by pressing a button is, at least in the opinion of the DFT. So if your...

Sorry, that's not what I meant. The DfT have said 'The use of an "Off Road Button" however is strictly forbidden'. Where has anyone said a bike that's speed-limited in the controller's firmware is illegal? That would seem to be very odd position that would probably catch out every major...

Not uk, but I'd take a look at pswpower. I had a motor kit and battery delivered from Germany this month - took about 10 days, £15ish delivery iirc. I didn't pay anything else, obviously that's not guaranteed.

I did that for 45 years.

I bought one last year. Brilliant bit of kit. You can buy similar from Aldi (once a year) or from ebay etc anytime at twice the price.

Hacksaw's fine.

Is that written down somewhere?

I'm not sure that's true. Roundabouts are generally designed to keep traffic flowing - ie quicker than stop / give way signs or traffic lights.

Ebay sellers can only leave positive feedback for buyers. That's been the case for years. Edit: since 2008.

Have you tried phoning them?

Because the government thinks it's good for the country and / or it's good for winning elections. Take your pick.

I'd be surprised if the trial doesn't turn into a permanent arrangement after the 12 months are up - and scooter hire / private scooters being legal everywhere shortly after. Just speculation there though.
