An electric bike: must have pedals that you can use to propel it can have more than two wheels, for example a tricycle must have an electric motor that can run continuously at a maximum power of no more than 250 watts must have no electrical assistance once you reach 15.5 miles per hour (mph) If your electric bike fails to meet any of these requirements it needs to be taxed and insured as either a motorcycle or a moped. There is more information on what's required to ride your electric bike legally on GOV.UK. | ||
