Correct. Thread Closed?

No, because its effectively a non-type approved, non -registered, non-taxed, no-(anything else you care to think of) moped. Just ask yourself if you went to a scrap yard and welded several different car bodies together to make something completely unique, un-proven, untested etc and drove it...

The extra £16 that you paid was probably to insure your bike against theft, not your liability to others in the event of an accident. (I'm guessing here, so check) If your bike fits the definition of a legal ebike, it is regarded as a pedal cycle and you don't need to do anything different in...

Message for the Original Poster: (I think that all he wants to know is if his house insurance covers him when he's out on his bike) We need to be clear what a bicycle is: As you know it can be a bike in the traditional form as we think of one. It can also be a bicycle that has electrical...

Rubbish. This person has posted incorrect information regarding insurance in the past. He has a track record, so be warned and ignore his advice on this one. It looks like he's just found out how to cut and paste this time. If you are riding an illegal eBike, you are an uninsured driver. Home...

You could always leave your signature as a Suppler, just as long as you remain flexible in your approach to ebikes.

Frank, you might like to change your signature from Electric bike Suppler to Electric Bike Supplier. I guess that its just a typo that any of us could make.

Also £599 at The Sports HQ, but 10% off via Top Cashback = £540. It has been a lot cheaper than this when The Sports HQ have had a sale on.

Just to put the other side of the argument, it could be argued that Kudos have adopted an ethical sales strategy in that they only sell legal bikes. In doing this and in the interests of the long term future of ebikes as we currently know them, they have probably denied themselves a few extra...

The illegal bike thing has been argued to death so many times that we are never going to reach an agreement over the issue or persuade each other to alter our views. All that people who argue against illegal bike are concerned about is that the use of those illegal bikes will eventually have...

I agree, but I would very much like to support UK based business, but more and more of them are operating this financial model whereby they expect you to pay in full based on a flimsy promise of a delivery date. Worse still are stories like the one from the OP, where they can't even be bothered...

I don't know if Haibike or the retailers of these bikes are the subject of 20ston's complaint. If they are, popularity of the product or difficulties in the supply chain are no excuse for taking payment for a product that they don't have available to sell. It is no excuse for promising a...

If they don't have the goods to sell you, which clearly they don't and you have given them a reasonable opportunity to acquire the goods, which you have, I would say, ask for your money back. If they hesitate go into the shop and complain very loudly at a busy time, warn as many other potential...

These stands are very good and will hold bikes up to 30 Kg. Get in there early, people tend to buy them up to re-sell on eBay. Link

I've come to that conclusion and wish I'd not become involved with the thread.

I saw this British Cycling Membership on Hot Uk Deals and at £11.60 thought that it may be of interest. Link here Amongst other things, it gives you personal accident insurance, £10M third party insurance, 10% off all Halfords purchases, 12% off the British Cycling Wiggle Shop. It might benefit...

Im not sure if this should go here or in the classifieds. Premature ejaculator seeks dark haired lady with big breasts shaved lady region and...........oh dear, it doesn't matter now.

I must confess to not having read the article recently, but I have read it a little while ago. The thread seems to be getting awfully confusing: When I use the term ebike, I mean a legal one which fits the definition. 1) An ebike is just the same as an un-powered bicycle in terms of the law...

Correct me if I am wrong, I don't have time to look up the exact wording, but I always thought that if your ebike fits the legal definition, power, weight, speed, etcetera, etcetera, then when it comes to legislation, it is classed as a pedal cycle and only the penalties applicable to pedal...

Its dead easy: Legal ebike (as defined) = pedal cycle legislation. Ilegal ebike (not complying with above) = Same law / penalties as with motor vehicles.
