    Magnificent responses to the original post .Shame that the replies now have re-opened a festering sore of ethical standpoints. Perhaps it may be time for the supplier who supplied my BS 10 without any mention of its illegal status ,should I venture beyond the field gate on to the highway or...

    As a purchaser AND returner of the BS10 due to its illegality for road use together with its almost insurability I would suggest that you reconsider your purchase .I settled for a compliant Kalkoff .The IMPULSE Harmony Nu Vinci.I am a cyclist not a Dealer and talk from personal experience

    Electric Bikes,my learning curve.

    No explanation was offered at any time or restriction to use .Sales people are not known for limiting an opportunity.Morgan cars were the exception as remarked by Sir John Harvey Jones many moons ago. When was the last time we saw a biker in a motorcycle helmet !
