chartpolski 20,426 Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 When does an electric bicycle become an electric motor bike ? I tried on line to see what needed a cbt, license, insurance, etc , and what didn’t, but couldn’t really make sense of it. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think alot of the youths over there are wild flying past us 3 or 4 on a motorbike but was in a few of the rougher areas Very popular with drug runners up and down the uk...lots of wrong uns in Northface riding them around my way with no helmets on....brings it on top for decent folk who have them and use them responsibly...my boy and his cousins only use them with an adult present,same as their Scramblers...

tomburras 2,721 Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 This is by build (750w) discreet and powerful. Thumb throttle with quick disconnect then it becomes road legal. Great for taking the dog out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

leegreen 2,100 Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 Two wheel drive with fat puncture proof tires is the way to go, for rough terrain. I have a 2 x 750w bike with a 40 amp/hour battery and the battery lasts no time when doing hill, mud etc and that is with pedal assist and I only weigh 13.5 stone.
