What's the deal with these ?
Your typical ebike from my very limited understanding cuts any assistance when reach 15 mph.
But Ive seen some lately which seem to be moving at quite a speed without any pedaling at all?
Are these still e bikes ? Are they legal ?
Classified as light mopeds, under EAPC rules or as a result of undergoing an MVSA.What's the deal with these ?

I nearly hit one just now.
Pulling out of my parking space which has a high wall on one side. He was riding it on the pavement and easily doing moped speed but without any noise. No lights, helmet or pedals. Swerved out of my way but half a second later and he'd have been over my bonnet.
That lad's going to be a statistic one day.

They're 10 a penny in London. Mainly riden by food delivery drivers but more and more common place with others. Some ate silly fast for so called Bicycles.
Aka Simon cowell stunt bike 😱
The speed alone puts it outside of the EPAC regulations. It would be classified as a light moped, with everything that mopeds require.I have seen "proper" scooters/mopeds but electric rather than ICE and wondered whether all contributors were talking about these or about "beefed up" pedelecs so I did a little search to see if I could find examples.
I found what appears to be the kind that does require a licence and registration/MOT/insurance etc. but is being sold as legal without any of the above. The advert describes it as 200/500W and capable of 28mph.
The advert, lower down and mixed into the other blurb says restricted for road use without licence, derestricted for off-road use etc. but the advert very much makes big selling points of both not needing a licence and of its full power capability, which imho is a bit cheeky and irresponsible.
