This is a screengrab from Samebike website.

So, they need to make their minds up, are they legal or not.

If they aren't legal then I think there is a good case for a refund and if not forthcoming a chargeback.

Since I can't verify one way or the other I suppose it is all academic.

Don't forget that some "throttles" can be set to only allow 6km/hr, and some can be set to only give power when pedalling. That includes the one fitted to the Samebike 20LVXD, which looks like what she had. The 750w ones all have fat tyres.

Either the police made a massive mistake or her bike was an direct import with a motor marked 350w or whatever, like this one:
Yes, your reasoning makes more sense. Especially considering the owner was nowhere in sight when they decided to seize it.

You can change its mode of operation with P09 and P10.

7 or 8 years ago, it was quite common that when you bought an ebike online, the throttle was provided in a box so that you could choose whether to fit it or not.
