Change the laws and rules around E-Bikes. Make them 18year+ and give them sound
These bikes are dangerous and come in different forms, from electrical bicycle to trails bikes etc. All these bikes can move at a high speed some of 47+ mph. Yet they do not need MOT/TAX or insurance. They are targeted at youths and young adults so don't even require a licence. This needs to change.
I want these bikes to have rules. Ages limits and tests and treat them like actual motorcycles or mopeds/scooters. They should have to have some form of insurance etc. Sounds on the bike as they are silent and can not be heard coming. 40% of people rely on what they can hear while crossing a road, without the noise to them they are endangering pedestrians.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. E-bikes are capped at 15.5mph. Bikes that travel faster than this are already required to be registered and taxed, and require a driving licence to use. You can read more here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
