To be used on the road without tax, driving licence and motor cycle crash helmet Powabykes have to conform to the following rules. These rules are set out in the Road Traffic Act.
To fully charge the battery, which takes eight hours, you will use 0.75kw of electricity, costing about 5p. Battery recycling costs £125 through our recycling programme and includes the collection of your old battery and its return complete with new battery cells. The service normally takes two weeks. In most cases, your local dealer can provide a much faster turnaround time. Total running cost works out at roughly 1.5p per mile.
To gain exemption from road tax, insurance and wearing a motorcycle helmet, we have to restrict the powered speed to 15mph. You can pedal the bike faster than 15mph if you wish.
All Powabyke models are classed as bicycles, so there is no need for road tax. It is wise to insure your vehicle against theft and third party liability. Powabyke has arranged a special policy with Cycleguard, details of which are supplied with each bike. Or visit our Insurance page. Also, we have included the details for bikeregister.com which lets you register your bike so if it is recovered by the Police after being stolen, they will find your contact details online.
