Petition Action

Raise e-bike speed to 20mph, power to 1000W, throttle to 15.5mph

Petition Details

Raise e-bike maximum speed limit to 20mph, power to 1000W for hills, & throttle to 15.5mph. We think current 250W/15.5mph limits hinder commuters, disabled riders, and cargo use. We believe this could lead to safer, greener, more active travel, cut emissions, and help stop illegal modification.

Additional Information

We think a 20mph speed limit would help cut car use and align e-bikes with traffic. 1000W could aid hill climbs, cargo & disabled riders. 15.5mph throttles could boost accessibility. We want the Government to act for greener, safer UK travel!
