ONYX Perfect E moped if only it was legal in UK! (1 Viewer)

[Mikey RV]

I've got to admit I've spent the last few days trying to find a road legal E-bike that can do over 40mph in the UK. My reasoning? I want to commute along 60mph rural roads to work, I have a full motorcycle licence anyway, but I want a bit of exercise too. What better way than to zip along with the ability to pedal?

I do agree that these sorts of bikes should only be legal on roads, certainly not safe on pavements, by users that have completed a CBT or full A licence (or whatever version of A is also applicable). Insurance and MOT requirements are sensible also, as call it what you will, it is a motorcycle.

My Ebike can do over 40mph Which I have done down hill.

I think anything that is powered, by law should carry insurance even mobility scooters.
If a member of the public is injured by such a scooter/ bike/ vehicle they should be able to claim for damages or injuries
