Maybe this Cardiff incident with the 2 kids will lead to something else? It seems like a lot of people are taking the speed limiters off and I see lots of people (couriers delivering food usually) flying around on them at big speeds. I reckon others are going to get hurt and there seems to be a trade being made by someone to supply these things as surely they’d be out of the price range of a lot of people? The internet is full of stuff showing how to over ride the limiter, which is illegal.
Strikes me there’s a problem with other young people getting hold of them (allegedly as a present in this case - I mean electric bikes aren’t cheap) and causing a bit of a nuisance, sometimes en masse on the roads, doing silly tricks and the like. Anyone else see any of this?
