That piece is correctly worded, and clearly statesCan you point me to a link where they say that please. CUK (or their insurers) say otherwise.

As for the chances of your bike being impounded, agreed if it's minor it's unlikely, but if the incident is serious enough (remember Charlie Alliston?) or there's lot of money involved, trust me, they will investigate properly and they'll take good care of the bike. It's evidence, the police are good at keeping evidence.
"You are covered if you are cycling on a cycle (unicycle, bicycle, tricycle, tandem, triplet, quadracycle, cargo bike or adapted cycle) unless it is driven by mechanical power other than electric assistance."
Meaning a petrol engine powered cycle wouldn't be covered.
You'll note that quadracycles are now covered, as per the current regulations. I queried that piece when the regulations changed to include quadracycles on the EPAC rules.
