e scooters

removed - double post

Post the shop or sales sites too please?

Actually quite interesting, I've looked at a range of shops (Halfords, Currys, Pure electric, ecomove, Argos...) and they are all at 15.5 mph, the only way to buy above that speed is through places like Amazon (actually I've only found Amazon), I wonder why that is? 

There, that was easy

ive also seen ebikes with 'performance' motors which have assistance upto 25mph (rather than 15.5) but they carry a warning about road use etc.

hasnt prevented one or two belting past our place....

they are legally not ebikes BB and good to know you can spot such things belting past at such speeds.

One should really inform the police as they are breaking the law on a number of issues

We see quite a few escooters belting around our area, definitely faster than 15.5 mph, and on pavements. They are easily obtainable, legislation is fine providing there is the means to enforce it in place. Sadly not the case I am afraid. Never seen one on a Club Site though, and sure Wardens would deal with it if it happened.

My ebike regularly does over 15.5mph. If I use top speed and pedal like billyo, sure I could do an ET😁 It’s governed to only assist up to 15.5mph though. That’s on the flat though, and mucking around. Normally any assist is for inclines, so much slower.

Indeed corners

I am not sure why it is legal to sell scooters that are not legal for use on public land without warnings.

My neighbour purchased one from Halfords and was not told about the legalities of its use.

Police do not enforce the law on this issue and even the ones for hire are often seen in our area with up to 3 young kids at a time riding along pavements.

Hi Nellie The honest answer is No i didn't speak to the wardens on site as it was pointles as they were riding past the office and their accomodation units also the would have seen them whilst cleaning the 2 toilet blocks ? Regards Mike !
