Check this one out with Martin at e-bikeshop Jonathan. I don't know if it's waterproof, but as Bosch make it, there won't be an overheating issue. .

When buying, check with 50cycles on this Actually Blue, they have the necessary software facilities to adjust the power profile of Impulse units, so could probably tailor the legal one to suit. I think it's called the Sport setting. .

I'm not surprised. The huge increase in London cycling has been almost entirely in commuting to and from work, so almost all the cycling provision emphasis has been on the appropriate radial routes. The latest segregated route proposal and those already partially completed are all of that...

That isn't really the case since there was no compulsion to have the EU pedelec law. What did happen is that the EU's compulsory two and three wheeler motor vehicle type approval law contained a pedelec exemption from being a motor vehicle needing type approval. The snag in that was it's...

Unfortunately an over 400 square mile city like London couldn't operate with them. It would die in the same way that the ancient South American city economies did through transport problems. London motorized road travel is on a knife edge, the slightest problem often results in many hours of...

North London is certainly a bit better in parts, but just look at the South Circular, widely regarded as a joke. It's not even fit for motor traffic. I agree there are bits that can have separated lanes, but as I posted, that is no solution since it's the same problem we have with the current...

Unlikely, that regulation incorporates the 2002/24/EC Type Approval Regulation as part of keeping things current*. In that document section 1, subsection 1.h. exempts pedelecs meeting the EU pedelec law from being motor vehicles and all the rest is about two and three wheel motor vehicles...

Making this change by amendment instead of the original intention of a new EU type harmonisation law has neatly sidestepped the independent throttle issue. Alone in Europe, we still have them, yippee! :cool: Nice one DfT. .

I still think there may be a problem Trex. The original is in class liable for VED while the resulting e-vehicle isn't. Only re-registering could sort that. .

Like so many mainland European cities, Seville has many wide and very wide roads, making the provision of separated lanes relatively easy. That's simply not possible in many of Britain's older cities, including my home city of London. The currently proposed separated route across parts of...

Don't worry Janny, because we occasionally suffer from spambots, automated software giving simple answers, some members understandably misunderstood your brief answers as being from one. I recognised your brief answers are simply because you are using an unfamiliar language. I don't know why...

It would be possible to use a pre or post World War 2 Autocycle like the 1946 James one below. The BSA Winged Wheel was a 1950s bicycle attachment motor, also shown below, and not a vehicle to convert:

Thanks Warrah, their website link that I accessed didn't make this clear, just making the bald statement I copied and pasted. .

From the DfT on using a provisional licence for all motorcycle and moped types: "You must take and pass the theory and motorcycle tests in 2 years." .
