I think I have read all or most of the threads on here regarding having a throttle control and I am still uncertain about the actual European law regarding them.
If they are legal in any one part of the EEC, does that cover Spain?
If I drill a hole in the throttle to disarm it, does that make it legal in Spain?
I realise that the fine in Spain is around €900 for ... for what? Riding it, using the throttle, not having the bit of paper etc.
I have met up with other E-Bikers from both Germany and the Netherlands who have electric bikes with throttles, so the UK is not alone.
Finally, with my drivers licence I can drive a 50cc moped around much of Europe (and Spain) at speeds up to 50mph and be legal and have a throttle but not be legal at 15mph using a battery with a throttle; balmy!
