ARE ELECTRIC ROAD BIKES LEGAL?
If you’re looking for a road‑legal e‑road bike in the UK, good news. Ribble e‑road bikes are road‑legal out of the box, with 250W motors that assist up to 15.5mph.
You can ride faster under your own steam, but the motor won’t assist beyond the legal cut‑off.
- UK road‑legal criteria include a 250W motor and assistance that cuts out at 15.5mph. Ribble e‑road bikes meet these rules.
- Modifying assistance speed or power can make a bike non‑compliant with legislation and will void warranty.
