Are electric bikes with throttle illegal?
Here we go: since January 1, 2016, the only throttles legal within the 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 or walking assistance only. If the rider is rolling – but not pedalling – faster than 6km/h, the throttle must cut off.
