How to ride an electric bike uk?
To ride an electric bike in the UK, you must be at least 14 years old. You do not need a licence to ride an eBike as long as it meets certain requirements - the motor must have a maximum power output of 250 watts and the bike cannot exceed a speed limit of 15.5 mph (25 km/h) on motor power alone. When riding an eBike, it is important to wear a helmet and follow the same rules of the road as regular bicycles. Always maintain complete control over your bike, be aware of your surroundings, and use hand signals to communicate with other road users. Also, make sure to regularly check your eBike’s battery level and brakes before each ride to ensure your safety and the bike’s performance.
