Question: are throttle electric bikes legal in uk?
Answer: From January 1 2016, the only throttles legal within the UK's EAPC legislation are those that assist the rider without pedalling up to a maximum speed of 6 km/h (3.7 mph) – i.e. starting assistance only. ... If the cyclist pedals at the same time then the throttle can still assist up to the general limit of 15.5mph.
