The change won't be retrospective, so if you buy a bike now you will be able to continue using it.

 

In the future the change won't necesaraly be that big for a rider who wants to be able to take a break from the effort of pedaling, a bike could run under throttle control as long at you just keep the pedals turning by pedaling air.

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!
