Regulation, regulation, regulation.

When you have this sort of e-bike being ridden on the pavement, it sorta makes you think twice.

Also the numerous "workarounds" advocated for, even on here. Up the power limit, deregulate the electrics. In the most basic terms riding an illegal vehicle, often ridden by people that are under age. Would you put up with illegal cars being driven on the pavements? The drivers feeling that you, as a pedestrian, should get out of their way?
Just to keep up the pretence that the person is cycling.

But that is not a legal ebike
It might be able to claim it is by pushing the meaning of the regulation and bending then to breaking points
but if that is the case then the regulation need tightening or clarifying

It is actually not illegal to sell powerful ebikes. It is only illegal to use them.

Maybe it should be - although how you do that is a different question
the same point can be made about e-ecooters
but I have got fed up complaining to Groupon about the ads they have for them - I once got them to add a very small thing on it saying they could only be used in private places
but that was all

I even tried writing to the counsel and my MP!

there is one there now but it just seems pointless
