I think it's " legal " enough, you could even remove the half twist throttle to make it align with the ebike rules. 👍

I think one of the things that helps these bikes overcome the certain restrictions in the UK is its cruise control just hold yourself at 15 mph or lower for about 8 to 10 seconds and then the cruise control will kick in and you can just enjoy the ride.

I push/ride fat bikes up Cwmcarn, and on the canal with the missus down to 14 locks Rogerstone also. I'm a photographer and drone enthusiast, so may take a camera or drone out also, with the fitting on the bars for a hand controller. So could be investing in two used ones before next spring. I know my mountain bikes as a home mechanic and had hundreds since the 1980s. I'm a big bloke, 20st so need a smaller diameter wheel and 4in tyre. My fat bikes are 26in wheel and 4in on one and 4.8in on two others, so know how they feel etc. But like the look of the two you are reviewing here, also the shape of the M20 and Fiido M1 or M21. I don't really need rear suspension, or even front suspension, but reliability as the priority and hopefully distance out with the missus next spring (helping her to get motivated). All I seem to be seeing is dodgy foreigners trying to rip me off for a new one on Marketplace, I guess they are all linked throughout the UK as all the ads look similar, so finding a used one, or even a new one is concerning me.

However when I attempt to lower the speed limit on the Deepower, it does nothing. The only way to lower its speed is in the power assist menu. And the throttle wont turn off. Holding the brake and throttle comes up as error 25, holding just the throttle error 22. Doesnt matter which one I do, it just halves the throttle power rather then turning it off. I even tried copying every setting off the Engine X but that didn't work, done a factory reset too. I don't understand why the same LCD isn't working the same on both bikes :)
