Not so, there are no penalties for suppliers of machines illegal to use on public roads. That's why they are all freely available still. The law only concerns usage. For example onn the following link there's just one of the speed pedelecs currently on offer from one of the largest UK...

Only for a very few. For most that means at least 7 to 10 hours riding on a pedelec with a 15 mph assist limit, since that's the best average they achieve. Many in here only manage around 12 mph average. I can't see that many hours riding in a day being popular. .

I believe they are appreciably different. You've rightly drawn attention to the baleful influences that the population have been subjected to currently. But our education and political systems have been grossly distorting the views and standing of the population for many decades, leading to...

I sympathise. I'm ashamed of the bigotry, ignorance and stupidity of so much of our native population, it's little wonder the rest of Europe look down on us. .

It's pointless using statements made before the vote, both sides were using propaganda, lies and distortions to frighten voters into their chosen direction. Emergency Budget - £350 million a week for the NHS. It was all bunkum. .

If it was charging the one ebike battery in use this could be ruled illegal, on the basis that the generator current could be passed straight through to the bike motor. That would make it petrol-electric drive, so a motor vehicle. .

That correct. The law on pedelecs is complex and police officers rarely have any idea what it is. A few traffic officers have a little knowledge, mainly because some forces have tried out or even bought some pedelecs for police work. Another problem has been the confusing mixed messages UK...

These have no legal standing, they fall foul of the DfT rules on riders not being able to operate a switch or similar to change the legal settings for power or assist speed limit. The link you gave is from 2009 and out of date. 250 watts has been permitted by a DfT waiver prior to 2015 and...

That was a great job, I think it looks good. .

I didn't make any reference to education being expensive and don't think it is, I merely observed the ineffectiveness of what we spent. .

It would have helped some, but unfortunately not for the great swathe of the population whose eyes glaze over at the sight of any sort of graph or statistic. It's not only the percentage of each expenditure that matters, what's more important is how effective the expenditure has been. Clearly...

One clash I know of is in the label that all pedelecs are supposed to have in the UK, which in some forms must state the battery voltage. There's also the BS1727 specifications for motor and battery testing for compliance as an EAPC. We have an obscure law that forbids manufacturing on the...

Lancia Stratos copy Lister Knobbly Jaguar, complete with engine sound. .

That's actually recent, the hub motor modern. Here's a really old one, the Humber electric tandem from 1897:

But if unemployed you can receive up to 87.6% of your previous salaries for 500 days. Here it's £72.40 a week which doesn't leave much for beer after struggling to live. :( .

What a pity the vote was a month too late, it could have been a May referendum. .

Politely not mentioning astronomic housing costs! :) .

That should be ok, caliper brakes are widely used on road sport bikes where they cope with much higher speeds. It's dual pivot design brings it closer to V brake action than a single pivot caliper. .

Move to the UK and pedelecing means anything goes now. As many watts as you like, throttles, 45 kph assist or more, and spare parts whether approved or not. No authority will bother you. ,

Me too. .
