E-bikes could get faster, more powerful and not require pedaling, in a move announced today by UKGOV. Cycling organizations are opposed to the plans.

    It’s trivial to make most adjustments to these bikes. Disabling speed limiters etc.

    It’s still illegal however

      I’m not suggesting someone should actually, like, go ahead and do it because it’s so easy, Mr GoodyTwoShoes

        Idk how it is over there but here police have a very clear understand of what you can and can’t do with an ebike and you will probably be stopped.

          Bear in mind, Europeans don’t live in a fascist police state and the police are pretty unlikely to shoot you for having a throttle on your bike 🙄
