These are our favourites and we use ourselves but cant get anymore at mo!! We do at times have a few back as secondhand... kids decide not to use anymore! So always worth a ring/email..

At the moment 27th April 2008 we have a grey and a turquoise only available. Both 2nd user and or demonstrators. Both can only be sold as seen, tried and tested near Lewes, East Sussex. Each we can sell for £90 each. Both of these as of 29th April are now reserved by potential customers!

The powerful yet silent motor only needs a few rotations of the pedals to engage, after which the twist throttle on the handlebars needs to be used to accelerate quickly up to the top speed (22km/h) and stops just as fast. Simply a joy to ride and soon becomes a reliable and faithful friend to get you from A - B.

These are legal electric bikes! They are completely road legal, ie do not need licence, tax, insurance or helmet. For road use as we read the law you need to be over 14yrs and for safety sake we do recommend that you wear a helmet but this is not a legal requirement. If you would like more information please telephone 07973 865850(Lewes, East Sussex). We have users in Lewes, Eastbourne,Brighton, Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath and by mail order in many areas of the UK!

To confirm these are road legal bikes not like many on sale at the moment. One of ours identical to the above was unfortunately stopped and threatened with confiscation locally by Mr Plod whilst being ridden locally by a 14 year old lad. Mum had bought it for him as a birthday present! However it was checked out by the powers that be, his sergeant, and now carries a sticker supplied by the local constabulary saying that they are a road legal bicycle!

How Are They Legal?
New legislation is rapidly bringing the UK into line with the rest of Europe. For the first time a new inexpensive, alternative means of transport is being encouraged. You choose to pedal as much or as little as you want, but you will enjoy the fresh air, observe much more and beat the city traffic. Rest assured that our range of products comply with all new standards and much more besides. We sell with adjusted so that you must peddle initially to start the powered motor. This is as the law stood pre July. It now appears that the law allows the electric motor to operate without the need of pedaling, this can be achieved by re attaching the 2 blue wires together in the loom situated in the casing under the seat. A very simple adjustment means you do not have to peddle from a cold start as at traffic lights! These blue wires are male and female and can be easily clipped together or unclipped as required. On our personal scooters we have added an extra rear flashing/continuous battery operated light as bought from the local cycle store. This we have found improved our safety at night. We use regularly in the dark lanes of Sussex at night! Visibility is all important to us. We can easily show you these minor modifications

The legal stuff:
Electric bikes are still bicycles, so have no road tax, no insurance, no MOT, no license plates, etc. To comply with this, they have to be limited to a maximum speed under power of 15mph (24KPH)..(although you can pedal faster than this if you want, of course) and an average power of 200W (250W for an electric tricycle) The current situation: At present, all electric bicycles sold in the UK should comply with the EAPC (Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle) Regulations. These say that an electric bicycle is classed as a bicycle if the motor will not provide any power above 15mph, and that the motor must have a continuous output of no more than 200W. All cycles which fall within these limits are legally treated as bicycles - you can ride them without a license, and they don't need insurance, road tax or a helmet. Any cycles which exceed these limits are classed as mopeds, and must be type-certified, insured, taxed, etc.
What is coming: The EU wants to standardise the type certification legislation across the whole of the community. For this, they have issued a Directive (2002/24/EC), which states that any electric cycle which conforms to certain restrictions will be exempt from type certification, and will be treated as a bicycle. The new restrictions are: maximum of 25km/h under power (approx. 16mph), maximum continuous output of 250W, and the cycle must stop if the rider stops pedaling.

LATEST NEWS (July 2004): Electric Bicycle Legislation
It appears the UK Department for Transport is now clearly stating that electric bicycles can supply power without being pedaled. Is this the end? Not quite. The legal position of bikes caught between the UK limit of 200 watts output and the European limit of 250 watts output is still ambiguous.
LATEST NEWS (January 2004): Electric Bicycle Legislation
We understand that the UK Department for Transport has legal advice that their interpretation of the electric bicycle legislative tangle is wrong and would be unsupportable in a court of law. If this is so - and we have no written confirmation - the law will return to its previous British form. In short this means that the requirement to pedal before power can be applied will be dropped! More soon, meanwhile, the complex paragraphs may still be relevant.

Below are a few comments from buyers worth noting!

Hi Ian

Just wanted to inform you of a few things regarding the bike. Firstly the
brakes need to be adjusted and tested as mine did not work coming down a
steep hill and scared the living daylights out of me :O). The front brake
cable was installed inside the front body work and restricting the front
brake and causing it to rub on the body work. There is a hole coming out
the bottom of the handle bar housing and there should possibly be a small
clip holding this in place. The way it was built when I picked it up the
cable was restricted and at an angle when it should be straight.

I have the back light working although it had to be completely rewired by an
engineer. It appears that it should be working and that everything is there
but its been wired wrongly at the factory!!!

There should also be a light illuminating the speed dials but as there is a
big bulb underneath for it but this doesn't work either, it will be soon;O)
but the people who worked on it for me was at it till 5am this
morning....they both agreed that it is an excellent machine!

It is not possible to just rearrange the plugs to get the back light
working as they had to attach a feed from the main controller box. This
should have been there from the factory as if, they have wrongly wired the
indicators to the rear light!

I am very happy with the deal you done me....and this is in no way me
complaining but just to let you know what I have found out, the brake thing
you need to look at as I know you said some young boys are buying them and
you know they will be going down steep hills!!lol.

Best Regards

Ralph
