| This is descending into a discussion about semantics, which doesn't really help! While modifying an e-bike can make the modified e-bike technically a fully regulated road vehicle, if the resultant vehicle is illegal to use, I'd still consider that it can simultaneously be an illegal e-bike, as well as a fully regulated motor vehicle. https://www.cyclinguk.org/cyclists-library/regulations/eapc-regulations presents information in a less emotive way. Interestingly, the article states that riding an e-bike can open you up to a number of road traffic offences which do not apply to traditional cycling. "For example, speed limits apply to e-bikes, as do offences relating to failing to stop at the scene of an accident (‘hit-and-run’), and offences relating to mobile phone use while ‘driving’, drink/drug ‘driving’. E-cycle riders can also be convicted of offences for ‘careless’ and dangerous’ driving, along with their ‘causing death by…’ and ‘causing serious injury by…’ variants." |
