There have been a lot of comments regarding E-Bikes and particularly the homemade or adapted bicycles fitted with batteries and motors sourced off the internet.
E-Bikes or EAPC are built specifically as such with motors and batteries tested and conforming to legislation and safety testing. The kits bought off the internet will not conform to the legislation and therefore are not EAPC's. When a bicycle is fitted with one of these kits they become a moped and require MoT, TAX and most importantly INSURANCE. it is not possible to get insurance for these bikes so if used on the road will be subject to siezure under section 165a of the Road Traffic Act.
Below is a basic guide to EAPC's. We strongly recommend that you do your homework prior to buying or fitting these kits off the internet.
Key points
E-bikes that meet the current EAPC regulations, minus a few exceptions, are treated as normal bicycles. The basic requirements are:
the cycle must be fitted with pedals that can propel it;
the electric motor must not exceed a maximum continuous rated power of 250W; and
the electric motor must not offer electrical assistance beyond a speed 15.5mph.
Any other e-bikes that do not meet the EAPC regulations are subject to type approval and any associated registration, tax and licencing
