Thanks for that, I did a search and came up with nothing... I must've done it wrong so will try again!

Been trying to find reviews of this bike... Anyone know anything about it? Thanks

I tried two electric bikes recently - one pedal assist, one with a throttle as well, and found the latter a much more stable ride - pedalling air was both tiring and made me feel a lot more unstable. Don't know if that's just because I'm not much of a cyclist! I guess I'd better get a move on and do my purchasing then before these new laws come in!

Hi, I just saw this thread. I don't really understand what the effects of this legislation are, I'm pretty new to this whole area and I'm not very technically minded so if someone could help me out that'd be great! Is the implication that bikes with a 'throttle-only' mode would be discontinued? If so would those who already had these still be able to use them? Or is it that there would be some kind of registration/new restrictions placed on their use? I'm rather concerned by this as I'm buying an electric bike specifically to use the throttle function (I have a health condition and can't cope with pedalling all the time) and don't want to end up with something I can't use. Also, even if there were exemptions for 'registered disabled' there is no universal register and many of us wouldn't necessarily qualify! Surely if you consider that you need a throttle, you should be allowed to have one?
