UK Legislation
In the UK, only eBikes that comply with EAPC Regulations can be used on UK public roads without tax, insurance or registration. You can find out more about EAPC Regulations here: https://www.gov.uk/electric-bike-rules.
Bikes fitted with the 250w motor option This eBike has a motor with a continuous rated power output not exceeding 250w and speed assistance limited to 15.5mph. It meets EAPC Regulation requirements and can be ridden on public roads. Legally it is treated the same as any standard non electric bicycle. The only regulational difference is that the rider of the bike must be at least 14 years old.
Bikes fitted with the 750w motor option This eBike has a motor with a continuous rated power output exceeding 250w and speed assistance exceeding 15.5mph.
This eBike cannot be used on UK public roads without first obtaining MVSA (single use approval), insurance, tax, displaying a number plate and undergoing an MOT. If you purchase this eBike, it can only be used private land with the land owners approval unless you obtain MVSA, insurance, tax, display a number plate and an MOT.
For the avoidance of doubt, you will be responsible for obtaining such approval, insurance, tax, registration and MOT. If you are purchasing an eBike from outside of the UK, you are responsible for checking and complying with the applicable laws and regulations relating to eBike use in your jurisdiction and where you intend to use the eBike
