This is not an e-bike. This is a motor vehicle & must comply with RTA legislation. This particular vehicle has a 750W rear motor and can be independently powered by a twist throttle up to 28mph. Seen by #Team4RPU being ridden on the pavement in Poulton-le-Fylde & seized S.165

This vehicle had made off from police, driving dangerously and putting other road users at risk. Thanks to some eagle eye helpers, it was found abandoned today and has been seized! Enquiries are now ongoing to locate the offending drivers!!

If you are working as a delivery driver and are using an electric bike then PLEASE ensure that it is legal. This one was stopped and seized after travelling in excess of 30mph with the rider not pedaling. It was not registered as a moped or motorbike and the rider was unlicensed!
