This thread is inching towards the point where the boss (me!) says “enough”.

Remember that this is a bike forum

I'm waiting for someone I actually know buy an electric bike. There is a local lad who rides his electric scooter on the highway he must be doing 20 mph plus - how can it be cool to ride a kids toy - might be a glimpse of the future.

It is a useful question to ask.

When does an electric bike become a “ powered two wheeler”?

Electric bike  < 250 watts
Electric moped >250 watts < 4kw
Electric motorcycle > 4kw

With regard to electric scooters, it is illegal to use privately owned ones on the road. Hired ones can be used in the areas where the government has allowed trials to take place but are limited to 15.5 mph.

There is a teenage girl who lives near me who rides an electric scooter on the road and regularly passes me when I'm doing 30 mph! It may be illegal, but it looks great fun! I did far worse things when I was a teenager. Those were the days.

Electric bicycles are classed as regular bicycles unless they can travel at more than 25kph (15.5mph), have a motor over 250 Watts of power or can be ridden on electric power without using the pedals. If it doesn't comply with any one of these, then it's a motorcycle.
