More Seizures

A fine and six points on your licence in this article and it's far from the first I have read of the same occurring to other riders caught.

Incorrectly they still use the no load speed test to evaluate the max speed.
As the plod states par-se kit bikes aren't illegal and speed devices aka throttle aren't illegal if one has to pedal to get power, so another tick for KT's with P4/1 &C4/3 setting.

Nice to see a Police Officer so clued up on the law.

I'd like to know how the guy managed to cram a 560KWh battery into a frame bag. At 15 w/mile, he'd get a range of 37,300 miles. Joking aside, it shows what we're up against. Some cops can be extremely arogant. Can you imagine trying to argue it out with one who has it completely wrong, like that guy?

Unfortunately, yes I can. Not with ebikes but COVID restrictions. Explaining that I was working and had the documentation to prove it fell on deaf ears.

Also pointing out that if I was breaking the law then so was he as we both had legitimate reasons to be there didn't really help matters. After half an hour of discussions I was given words of advice, which I took to mean either I was right and he wasn't going to admit it or like me he had just lost the will to live and couldn't be bothered any more.

Police always want to finish interactions with words of advice. I think they're trained that they must do that as a minimum. Here, AY_Audits shows how to deal with that. I don't know how he gets away with what he does. His card must be marked by every police force in the country for what he does. Maybe he has friends in high places:

It is endemic with plod training , they think they are and at times above the law so must have the final say, with their bad attitude and how they deal with the public it is no wonder there is little respect .

As we know with EAPC law some have very little idea and the ones who think they have, still get the wheel speed test completely wrong.

Though not the UK mainland , in N. Ireland a magistrate in Derry has given a rider a meaningless three year driving ban for a D&D offence on a scooter. No ins or licence , he also received a £400 fine, there was no mention of confiscation but one assumes so.
