Riding in the UK: Clearer Rules, Safer Rides
1. EAPC Compliance Standards

- When the ebike’speed exceeds 25km/h (15.5mph), the motor must cease providing assistance.

Base on this approach, the UK has released clearer and more precise framework guidelines covering battery safety, brake requirements, folding mechanisms, and lighting standards to boost consumer confidence. Only if you bought a legal ebike, you won't have the risk of penalties.
