I 'stumbled' across " Dual motor e-bikes " on Amazon today.
A few ' cut & paste's ' from a listing.
" FREESKY Ranger Air Dual Motor Electric Bike for Adults 200Nm Fast Ebike "
" 【250 W Power Road Mode & Private-Track Mode】 UK-legal 250 W -25 km/h(15miles) on public roads. Private-Track Mode unlocked via display "
" Choose from dual or single motor drive, pedal assist, throttle-only, "
So I read elsewhere " it is illegal to offer dual-motor e-bikes for sale as electrically assisted pedal cycles (EAPCs) in the UK if the combined power exceeds the 250W continuous output limit, regardless of how the motors are configured or if they are switchable between modes.
So is this brazen disregard for the law or a clever way around selling restricted e-bikes ?
