April 8, 201016 yr The newest E-bike Hi guys! I think this is the newest, most, powerfull, and maybe teh best looking e-bike now: M55 ELECTRIC BIKE Check it out!
April 8, 201016 yr Hi guys! I think this is the newest, most, powerfull, and maybe teh best looking e-bike now: 1300 watts. We won't be seeing it in the UK then! Nor will many others, it's illegal almost everywhere in the world. .
April 8, 201016 yr flecc: it needs and offroad /onroad switch there? Remaining under rider control means it's still illegal in Europe though. .
April 8, 201016 yr It will be shame if it bombs out, they have obviously spent much time and effort on it. Unfortunately I too fail to see where they will be able to sell it. Regards David
April 8, 201016 yr oh, you mean if the RIDER has the OPTION/POSSIBILITY of going higher power (via the switch) it remains illegal? has this been tested?
April 8, 201016 yr oh, you mean if the RIDER has the OPTION/POSSIBILITY of going higher power (via the switch) it remains illegal? has this been tested? The EU regulations are strict, the absolute maximum rating available to the rider under any circumstances is 250 watts, and that has to be under pedal control, no power without pedalling. Germany has a separate class under which a 500 watt rating is permissable, but that has to be separately type approved and is subject to additional restrictions like registration, plates, insurance, compulsory helmet etc. 1300 watts is out almost everywhere, even the American states mostly have limits of 1000 watts or less. .
April 8, 201016 yr private land and offroad only, then. not much use. I'm afraid so. It seems to me that this design, good though it is, needlessly duplicates the existing Optibike in many respects. The Optibike comes in various power versions up to 850 watts which fits into most American state laws: Optibike .
