I ve read all threads on electric bike section but cannot find anyone who has posted that has actually been fined for using a bike with a throttle. How risky is it ? Just had two new knees and am desperate to get back on a bike. However my confidence has gone and I'm gutted! Tried a volt Kensington and I must say james at the London branch was so patient and I actually managed to cycle after using throttle to start ! After reading of this throttle problem I decided this would be a waste of money as we want to cycle in Italy france Spain Austria Germany ..... Anywhere and everywhere ! I tried the kalkhoff pedal assist ..... Well I got on but I just couldn't turn pedal to get it going. So scared I'd fall off and knee hurt like mad! Major crisis of confidence. Need to know basically what my chances are of being fined which is why I need to hear from anyone who's actually been fined..... When where etc. Once I manage to set off I can actually cycle ( maybe not too far but Rome wasn't built in a day!) and didn't need the throttle but it's very presence gave me the confidence to cycle!
Really would welcome advice. THANKS
