Provided the bike meets the definition of an Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle (EAPC), it can ridden without a licence or insurance provided the rider is at least 14 years old.

To meet the EAPC requirements, the bike must:

  • have pedals that can be used to propel it
  • have a cut off so it can't power the bike when travelling over 15.5mph
  • have a maximum power output of 250 watts
  • display details of the manufacturer including either the motor output or the voltage and maximum speed

If the bike does not meet those requirements, it is not classed as a pedal bike and therefore a driving licence, vehicle registration, tax and insurance will be required.
