Only if an officer recognised it to be an e-bike, you were doing at least 20mph and he was following and clocking you. Otherwise no chance. .

I was responding to the post sequence about buying from Europe. Those without money will have to use what's left of the NHS post Brexit. .

Except for those forces which have trialled e-bikes for police duty, a number have. Their traffic departments are well informed. .

Don't worry. When wanting a necessary prescription medication without my doctor's approval I ordered from Canada and they got both the prescription and supply from India sent to me. Money makes anything available. .

Many other bikes can be set up in this way, but the advice they give is wrong Steve. The DfT have made it clear that "Off Road" switching for higher speed or power is strictly illegal. It's immaterial that it's done through the LCD, if it's under the rider's control it's illegal, even if the...

Thanks for your repeated support: Echo = European Community Here Ok. .

True, but of course the police can take the bike for testing and that would expose the illegality. That still applies at 17 mph which is the point Capt Sisko made earlier, but the allowed tolerance means 17 mph detected wouldn't result in the bike being taken for testing. .

No I'm not. I'm repeating a statement given by the DfT in response to that query. It doesn't change the law, but it does mean that if the police measure up to17 mph assisted a prosecution will not follow, hence my entirely valid above posted advice. Nor is a statement by the DfT necessarily...

You are permitted 17 mph assisted legally. The DfT have confirmed that the usual 10% tolerance applies to the pedelec assist limit as it does with all other speed limits. So 15.5 mph + 10% = 17.05 mph If your system can be set up for that there's no problem. .

The gist of the link is showing on screen in your post now Tom, so I've deleted my Broken Link post. .

I understand the Danish permission for the S class pedelecs without registration etc. is a one year trial, then to be reviewed. Hopefully it will remain for you. Information Link .

Trouble is the balloon is so poor that it doesn't look remotely like him. As a stunt it was a damp squib, nobody around when it was flown knowing who it represented. A waste of a lot of contributed money. To cover their disappointment they are thinking of sending it around provincial towns...

But that 35 downhill isn't in a high street with pedestrians crossing and drivers right turning across your bows or pulling out in front of you, thinking you will be slower. That's where people don't expect a sit-upright bike to be doing 20 mph and then misjudge. Just like the woman did in...

You could also substitute "Oy Oy" with shouting out one of the things known to get instant attention currently: Like "Novichok" or "Jeremy Corbyn" or "Anti-Semitic". :D .

Many make this argument but I don't agree since it only looks at one aspect, keeping with supposed traffic speeds. My disagreement is for these three reasons: The supposed traffic speed of 20 mph isn't factual, traffic even in 20 limit areas is often faster, most drivers in my 20 limit drive...

To this fellow Londoner he's certainly more in the background than either Ken Livingstone or Boris Johnson, but I'm prepared to await the outcome before judging. .

Again showing how they attack Sadiq Khan, they must be very annoyed that he's been nominated as a politician of the year three years running in the Men of the Year awards, winning it outright in 2016, and is in line for selection again this year. .

But the bike is hard, cyclists are soft and warm and cuddly, nicely rounded, even the naughty bits. :) .

I blame the phones, too primitive. Like my car they should have sonar sensors around the top edge, one forward and one each side. Then they could alert the owner on the screen of approaching vehicles etc. Maybe even administer an electric shock through the metal casing. .

As I've posted before, the whole case against Russia is a setup by the UK for political reasons. Not for the first time either. .
