No, I followed an electric mountain bike on the road near Harrogate the other day funnily enough whilst transporting an electric road bike in the van from Bournemouth I kid you not this thing was flying up a steep hill 25mph ish lad was just steady peddling, saw one in action in Benidorm the other week some kid with his mates looking effortless while his mates were struggling up hill in the old town, they make a lot of sense I see a lot of them, the one I moved was nice £1100 only done 40 miles £1800 new.
I have found the rules. What a shame:- Rules in England, Scotland and Wales You can ride an electric bike in England, Scotland and Wales if you’re 14 or over, as long as it meets certain requirements. These electric bikes are known as ‘electrically assisted pedal cycles’ (EAPCs). You do not need a licence to ride one and it does not need to be registered, taxed or insured. There are different rules in Northern Ireland. What counts as an EAPC An EAPC must have pedals that can be used to propel it. It must show either: the power output the manufacturer of the motor It must also show either: the battery’s voltage the maximum speed of the bike Its electric motor: must have a maximum power output of 250 watts should not be able to propel the bike when it’s travelling more than 15.5mph An EAPC can have more than 2 wheels (for example, a tricycle). Where you can ride If a bike meets the EAPC requirements it’s classed as a normal pedal bike. This means you can ride it on cycle paths and anywhere else pedal bikes are allowed. Other kinds of electric bike Any electric bike that does not meet the EAPC rules is classed as a motorcycle or moped and needs to be registered and taxed. You’ll need a driving licence to ride one and you must wear a crash helmet. The bike must also be type approved if either: it does not meet the EAPC rules it can be propelled without pedalling (a ‘twist and go’ EAPC) This should have been done by the manufacturer or importer before you bought it. If it’s been type approved, it will have a plate showing its type approval number. What does Ducati say? Dave
It looks great, Britain has the same power and speed laws as the rest of Europe (250watts) (15.5) I've got a electric assist commuter bike, it's great and helping keep me fit, better than a gym. Fat men don't fit on Ducati's.
Asked several dealers when they were announced how they were going to support/maintain them and warranty etc. I'm still waiting 6 months later for any response... I can't see a dealer servicing fork and shock, let alone drivetrain, BB, dropper post, and electric motor??
