Just thought .if I fix my engine to my bike I don't charge my batteries can I start my engine.

This was what I thought would be the case.Is there nowhere you can find out where something is illegal. it would have to go up before the CP's ( is that what its called ) I wonder if they can they tell me.I don't think a patent would help.I think they would take your money with one hand and...

The Gov.UK web site has been updated.It says EAPCs can be 2wheeled bicycles,tandems or tricycles.no mention of unicycles or quads.I thought quads could be EAPCs.No mention of the old weight limits.And no mention of fitting a petrol generator that only charges the spare battery's.
