    UK is behind on scooter and bike laws. In France scooters are legal. 15mph is too slow for 30mph zone....It may be illegal but its safer to move at 25mph with the flow of traffic. this bike can do 21mph unlocked. Most residential areas are now 20mph in London

    • @steverainford8925
      @steverainford8925 3 года назад

      From January 1 2016, the only throttles legal within the UK’s EAPC legislation are those that assist the rider without pedalling up to a maximum speed of 6 km/h (3.7 mph) - i.e. starting assistance only.
      If the motor is more powerful than 250W, or if it assists you when you’re riding more than 15.5 mph, then it will need to be registered, insured and taxed as a motor vehicle. In this case, you will also need a driving licence, and you must wear a motorcycle helmet.
      Hope this helps!

    No particular reflection on the Fiido, (I've ordered this model), but almost all these cheap Chinese bikes have a twist-and-go throttle up to 25 KPH.
