And no need license …..
Next project can be an ebike @Giles
"In Great Britain, if you’re 14 or over you don’t need a licence to ride electric bikes that meet certain requirements, and they don’t need to be registered, taxed or insured.
Electric bikes meeting the requirements are called ‘electrically assisted pedal cycles’ (EAPCs). They can be 2-wheeled bicycles, tandems or tricycles.The requirements are:
-the bike must have pedals that can be used to propel it
-the electric motor shouldn’t be able to propel the bike when it’s travelling more than 15mph
-the bike (including its battery but not the rider) must not be heavier than 40 kilograms (kg) if it’s a bicycle, or 60kg if it’s a tandem or tricycle
-the motor shouldn’t have a maximum power output of more than 200 watts if it’s a bicycle and 250 watts if it’s a tandem or tricycle
-the bike must have a plate showing the manufacturer, the nominal voltage of the battery, and the motor’s power output. " -
