In the UK it is illegal to have an ebike that goes more than 15.5 mph under throttle.
It is actually more masculine to cut off your balls than live under UK tyranny.
How can any human breathe under the yoke of UK legislators? How can you have humanity when the UK tells you you cannot go more than 15.5 mph? How can you grow as a person or human being? How can you experience life?
I can literally pedal with my feet and go 21 miles per hour.
Who makes these laws? Why? Why do UK citizens accept the yoke of UK rulers?
How is any of this eco-friendly, or green-friendly? When cars are allowed to go 30 mph in residential zones? Cars, 2 ton, 4 ton death machines allowed to go 30 mph⌠Wide large death machines, 2 ton 4 ton death machines that pollute the environment and require more pollution to build them⌠contributing to noise pollution, contributing to road pollution, congestion, traffic jams, less space for citiesâŚ
I am not an anarchist. I believe in some ebike regulation, such as regulating the ebike batteries, too many fires. And people on faster bikes should have to wear pads and a helmet⌠What I am against is enslaving humanity⌠Regulations and laws that rob people of humanityâŚ
All of society is a farceâŚ
Um. Get a motorcycle, nitwit.
But maybe, being unfamiliar with Brit laws, the smaller mph is designated de facto toward younger procurers, and the cycles to the ones who âknowâ better than to disobey the law?
Is not some moral message for mo(pedes) as well? Or, is it some unjustified rationalization?
makes sense to me.
Not knowing the law is no excuse to those of us, but may be an ex cause to those in Britain(the great) because those there do not get confused by prece( dense, pre tense and such) as us here does, or vice versa, as shoe 
snuff?
I wonder how much you do that on purpose and how much you have absolutely no clue.
At this level does it really matter one way or/and the other?
Why do all the cuck countries have the exact same laws of 250Watt and 15.5 mph? UK, Japan, EU countries, Australia, etc.
Donât you think its a strange coincidence for âdemocracyâ that all the people unanimously pick the exact same values? What are the odds of random chance?
It almost seems like all these laws are created by the same personâŚ
Also I was saving the best for last.
15.5 mph isnât even the dumbest thing about these laws. Its the 250 watt part.
Someone could argue that 15.5 mph is reasonable in pedestrian areas, and I agree. In pedestrian areas the speed limit should be 15.5 mph. But the entire bike should not be capped to 15.5 mph, but I will explain why later on.
The 250 watt is by far the dumbest thing about it. It is very ablist and anti-human. 250 watt prevents anyone from using their bikes on slopes and inclines. Anyone with a disability or has a route full of slopes and inclines will be unable to use their bike.
It almost seems like these laws are made by car cultists with a car cultist agenda, to make ebikes unpopular.
Even though ebikes should only be allowed 15.5 mph in pedestrian areas, the ebike itself should have a speed limit of 28 mph. The top speed of dogs is 45 mph, most dogs will only go 15 or 20 mph though. Dobermans can go 30 mph. America is full of asshole jerks that leave their fence wide open and are full of viscous dogs that aggressively bark at people and chase people around.
Second reason is, the car speed limit in residential areas is 25 mph, and you slow cars down by going only 21 mph and such.
Also, to clarify, if anyone doesnât understand physics: You can have a high watt but low speed motor, depending on the gear ratio you set it to. So you can have a 500W motor that is limited only to 15.5mph, in order to go up hills and slopes. But the law unfairly restricts it to 250W, probably for nefarious reasons.
âŚmaybe it is to avoid the batteries that explode in peopleâs apartments?
European Cuckolds like @Sculptor and @Bob are those responsible for such insane, asinine âlawsâ like in England, that are literally destroying their country and inviting civil war with the rise of far-rightwing groups and government.
Weak men (who canât protect their wives or daughters being stabbed to death 100 times) create Hard times.
I get the fact that you and others are upset by the deaths of innocents and protest the situations in which this could happen, but youâve swallowed the doctrine hook, line, and sinker. And attacking the parents of the victims is perhaps not the best way to approach the issue.
Much of what we are witnessing in global politics and society today is underpinned by a discernible pattern that has been favoured by particular interests for decades. Reflecting on my experiences after emigrating to Germany, I found that attending evening classes provided an interesting perspective on how deeply nationalism can influence a nationâs development. History shows that when Hitler rose to power, it wasnât just the fervour of the masses that propelled Nazism, but also the influential backing of major industrialists â including notable support from certain American business figures. The abdication of the German monarchy created a vacuum that was quickly filled by this ânew aristocracyâ of industrial power brokers.
Examining contemporary nationalist movements often reveals the quiet â sometimes overt â support of corporations and wealthy industrialists. This pattern endured beneath the surface until figures like Donald Trump made it unambiguously public. A historical pattern emerges: periods of upheaval, unrest and even war almost invariably benefit large corporations. These entities profit not only from the sale of arms and destruction, but also from the lucrative business of reconstruction. Crises such as the global financial collapse of 2008 and the 2019â2020 pandemic have demonstrated that while the average citizen bears the brunt and the public sector is depleted, the ultra-wealthy only become richer. My scepticism towards politicians stems from observing that, regardless of their rhetoric, these cycles seem to serve corporate interests disproportionately over those of the electorate.
Post-World War II history further illustrates how the fear of expanding socialism and communism â a fear stoked by the devastation attributed to these ideologies â fuelled discord among nations and within societies. Authors such as George Orwell, who were aligned with the left, warned of the corrupting dangers of power, irrespective of which side holds it. The real danger does not lie in any particular ideology, but in the concentration of power itself: as the old maxim warns us, power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
How does this legacy connect to todayâs world? We are currently living in an era where powerful hegemonies actively suppress any challenges to their dominance. Russia wields its influence overtly, China asserts itself in more focused ways, and the United States has intervened globally for decades to safeguard its so-called ânational interestsâ, which are often indistinguishable from corporate imperatives. The United Kingdom, once the exemplar of a great empire, continues to support and amplify American power, particularly in regions such as the Middle East.
The ongoing manipulation of Middle Eastern affairs is a case in point: peace talks are interrupted, moderate leadership is undermined, and any movement towards unity among Arab nations is proactively discouraged â particularly if it threatens Western access to resources or independent regional development. Leaders who offer public goods, such as free energy or education, are frequently deposed and their nations thrown into chaos, while aggressive projects, such as the colonisation of Palestine, are backed without restraint.
The consequences for Europe are profound. While the United States largely stands apart from the turmoil, the waves of refugees generated by these conflicts flow largely towards European countries. Many of these new arrivals are young and traumatised. Finding themselves marginalised in struggling urban environments, they are vulnerable to further radicalisation. The deliberate destabilisation of the Middle East thus feeds a cycle that challenges European social cohesion and security.
At the same time, it is important to recognise that Americaâs strategic aim of preventing the emergence of a unified, self-determining Arabia is closely linked to efforts to hinder European unity. Russia, with its historic wariness of a strengthening European Union, is only too willing to exacerbate these challenges.
Ultimately, these interconnected developments point to a troubling reality: the world order is shaped less by the will of ordinary people or the ideals of democracy and more by the relentless pursuit of profit and control by the powerful elite. This concentration of economic, political and military power remains the greatest risk to freedom, stability and genuine international cooperation.
Whether on the political left, right, or in religious or nationalist terms, radicalisation ultimately serves the interests of those in positions of corporate power. The more chaos and division that is sown within societies, the more likely citizens are to turn to extremist parties, believing that these factions will restore stability or eliminate threats. However, this shift does not challenge the underlying system; it perpetuates a cycle of disruption from which powerful corporations and elites continually profit.
This dynamic mirrors the world portrayed in George Orwellâs 1984, where the existence of an ongoing external or internal âthreatâ is a deliberate strategy to control and manipulate the population. In Orwellâs vision, wars are less about conquest and more about preserving a perpetual sense of crisis. This ensures that the masses never have the freedom, security or clarity required to question those truly in control. In reality, as is often the case in his fictional universe, the chaos stirred by nationalist and populist movements provides both a distraction and a justification; it keeps populations divided and fearful while granting greater freedom to those at the top, especially corporate rulers, to act with impunity.
Thus, societal upheaval is not, as it may seem, a spontaneous outbreak of discontent or a failure of politics. Rather, it is often highly advantageous for major corporate actors: public attention is fixated on culture wars, social discord and manufactured enemies while the machinery of economic and political power operates unchallenged in the background.
In short, the proliferation of radicalisation and chaos is not incidental, but a central feature of a system that benefits most when people are divided, distracted and desperate for order â no matter who promises to deliver it.
And when supposedly âstrongâ men accuse supposedly âweakâ men of not preventing it from happening, they are missing the point.
EV Bikes are free from drivers licence, road tax and insurance.
You can buy EV Bikes that go faster then 15.5mph, but they are treated like other vehicles and you need insurance and road tax.
You can seriously injure someone at 15mph.
Given that fact that there are so many morons in the general public I think this law makes sense.
FALSE.
Check your facts.
THey are NOT illegal. They are legal âmotor vehiclesâ
Well Realun was half right.
Not about Bob but about the other guy.
You are on cruise control.
Did you even read what i said or are on cruise control on bootlicking mode?
I said I can pedal, with my feet, with no motor 21 mph⌠Why are you legally allowed to own a bicycle, if it can seriously injure someone at 15 mph� Racing bicycles can even go 30 mph⌠some racers can even go 50 mph⌠If your philosophy is Safety is more important than everything�
If people are safe but have a miserable life, whatâs the point of that?
And you completely ignored the 250 watt part⌠the anti-human injustice of that⌠If politicians really cared about citizens why is the law not 500 watt but 15.5mph limit, why is it 250 watt to oppress those with physical disabilities or people who commute on hilly roads?
I think we need to explore why people are on cruise control for bootlicking mode.
Whenever I browse the internet thereâs always someone automatically standing up for tyrannical policies. I think it needs to be explored why human nature is like that.
You need to learn to moderate yourself.
You said electic bikes over 15mph were illegal.
They are not.
A motorised vehicle capable of exceeded this speed is more dangerous that a pedal bike.
Itâs about power and weight.
Try and use your imagination or aquaint yourself with some basic physics. Itâs not rocket science.
