Pedelec Law - The Details

[flecc]

lt's interesting that my (and every) Mirider ebike will power along at around 15mph if you either hold the thumb button or set it to level 5.
And you only need to keep turning the pedals no matter how slowly.
So effectively that's a throttle as you're not contributing to the forward motion of the bicycle at all.
And it's fully legal.

Not just MiRiders, fully acting throttles, even twistgrip ones, are legal on any EAPC while turning the pedals.

The rules just say the power must stop when pedalling stops.

I didn't get one when young, never liked them, just worked on them but rode all of them from 25 to 49cc.



Already got it long ago, the S Class Speed Pedelec, 45kph / 28mph allowed with up to 500 watts rating. Trouble is, out of all European countries, only Germany, Denmark and The Netherlands have accepted it, Britain and the 24 others, No Way.

I have been driving to Frankfurt regularly in a van for the last six months.

Germany has in my opinion really embraced the need for Two wheels transportation so it does not surprise that are ahead of the game .

Although their roads seem to be wider or more sensible to the safety of cyclists e or otherwise.

I think Bosch e systems will give China a run for there money shame us Brits can not get our act together.

Vincent , Royal Enfield, Raleigh ( made in Thailand now days )
Carrera originally in Vietnam at least the frames .
What happen to British Engineering ?
Sold out by the bankers and destroyed by the union’s ie the days of British Leyland .

Now we have to debate a cycle with a motor and a battery because ass wipes have worked out how to use them to steal phones of little girls .
