#ThinkTwice | Confused about the law around e-bikes, e-scooters and quad bikes?

If the vehicle can travel faster than 15.5mph with the motor, has a continuous rated power output higher than 250 watts and does not have pedals that can propel it, it is classed as a motorcycle or moped and you will need:

🪪 Driving licence

🏍️ Motorcycle helmet that meets British Safety Standards

🛡️ Insurance

🧾 Tax

If your bike is classed as a motorcycle or moped but has not been insured, you may get a fine or your bike may be seized by the police.

Improper use of these vehicles poses a serious risk to public safety. We have sadly seen incidents in recent times leave innocent members of the public with serious injuries and in some cases, fatalities.

Before you buy these vehicles for yourself or someone else, please check the law.
