Under British law (1981 Transport Act), an electric bicycle avoids being classed as a motorcycle only if it weighs less than 40kg, is fitted with pedals, has an output not exceeding 200 watts and cannot be propelled under power at more than 15 miles per hour.
If an electric bicycle exceeds these limitations in any way it becomes classed as a motorcycle, with DVLC registration, vehicle excise licenses, motor insurance and an appropriate users license all legally required for use on public roads.
Powabyke Ltd. is an associate company of the Longreach Group plc, the UKs largest electrical distributor of digital, satellite and brown goods to independent electrical retailers, and the Sakura Battery Company.
