I suspect if you have a lighteweight and expensive bike it wont stop a thief lifting the bike into the back of a van and making off. For low cost, maybe heavy bikes, it would stop the casual thief who maybe wants a bike to ride home. The lock is always there so you wont forget it and its quick...

If its an eBike then it could be one of those using an illegal eBike who try to justify it because they are a 'responsible' rider and 'respectful' of those they share the paths with.

Its rare that if I venture out onto the roads, either in my car or eBike, that I do not see a blatently illegal eBike as well as the normal illegal eScooters.

One good thing about that report is that its seems relativly clear what happened. A conversion on a eBike with a much larger (illegal ?) motor fitted and the fire happened the day after a 'new' charger was used.

Maybe they did a risk assessment on their 'riders' and decided fireproof bags were needed to stop the pizzas and curries overcooking. Customers would not be happy to get a frizzled curry.

Nope, wrong vegatable and wrong fruit juice.

With a charger designed for the batteries. Car battery chargers are designed for charging car batteries.

Looking at whats needed for my maybe similar insides TBK-74AD motor I would agree.

Tricky repair. I have a TBK-74AD motor that has a fault in the motor cable just as it enters the motor. This motor looks like the same construction thats on my own older Swytch converted Brompton. I did a new DIY conversion on a Brompton using the TBK-74AD kit from Topbikekit and the Swytch...

Information from the RAC website;

So drivers are sometimes prosecuted for driving at 33mph in a 30mph zone ...............

Me too, been up to 50mph going steep downhill on my eMTB, legal, since the motor cuts out at 25kmph.

I am fully aware of the guidelines the police use for prosecutions, speed limit + 10% etc. But are you suggeting that you cannot under any circumstances be prosecuted for exceeding 30mph, say doing 33mph, in a 30mph zone ?

The law is already there, but 'better' motors and 'better' batteries do seem to have become common in recent years. So maybe it is time for the laws to catch up and implement stricter limits etc.

April the 1st is not for ages.

Since your a UK company, selling I presume to UK customers, would it be possible to flag which of your eBike products are legal to use on UK roads ?
