Yes as all the power supplied is human endeavour.
But why would you want to ?
Surely a normal light pedal bike is better ?

Should we be tolerating people who come on a cycle forum advocating breaking the law by drink/drug driving.

It seems to be covered under terms & rules:
"Pedelecs operates a one account per person policy.

It's good to have free and open discussions but I sometimes feel things go a little too far.

playing devils advocate here,

I’m curious as to how one motoring offence can be acceptable on this forum and regularly discussed, whereas another motoring offence is condemned.

Increasing the power/speed limit of a pedelec to create an illegal motor vehicle is still illegal whether you like it or not. most folks break some laws, especially if they don’t agree with them


I got a new spoon for Christmas :p
