E-bikes basics
Do I need a licence for an electric bike in the UK?
No, if it meets the UK rules for electrically assisted pedal cycles: a motor of 250 W or less that stops helping at 15.5 mph, pedals that can move the bike, and a rider aged 14 or over.
Which battery size do I need?
A bigger battery (more watt-hours) goes further on one charge. Each guide gives the maker's own range figure for every pick.
