What are the rules on riding battery powered bicycles on the road?
I am looking to buy a fold-up bike to half commute to work. I have found one that I want that has nice fat tyres, a 250w motor and can go up to 15mph (according to the spec sheet). What are the laws surrounding riding this on the road. It has a few functions, so can be peddle assist or actually self propelled from the battery pack.
We plan to test a few fold-up e-bikes on Honest John Kit this year, so there should be more info on the site surrounding the rules for e-bikes as well.
