    Do you think saying modified ebikes are illegal stop people using them? Lol

    The majority of Uber eats/deliveroo riders use ebike conversion kits of over 250W. It literally makes no difference if they’re illegal or not if the police don’t enforce it.

    My onewheel is 750W, technically illegal but I have 1000s hours on it and police have actually complimented me.

      Regardless of what you or others are doing my point is still valid in that ebikes are legally restricted to 15 mph.

        If you’re going to stick with that one, I’ll say your point is mostly irrelevant, we were talking about how fast bikes are actually going, not the law around it which everyone chooses to ignore.

        But since we are stating mildly related facts I’m happy to join in saying valid points.

        Bicycles can be used on public roads where the speed limit is above 15mph
