Riot in Ely

[North Cardiff Blue]

UK laws do not allow any electric bike with twist-and-go throttle. A throttle assist allows users to thrust the bike forward using the turning motion on the handlebar.

The UK only permits electric bikes that have a pedal-assist motor.

Pedal assist is legal until you chip them or move the magnet to derestrict them, although harder to spot because they look more like a normal bike and you still have to pedal.

This says legal as a motorbike with all the rules that go with that- https://www.ginebikes.com/post/are-t...k#viewer-fd25t
