The government proposes 2 changes to the regulations on electrically assisted pedal cycles (EAPCs or e-cycles):

to amend the legal definition of EAPCs, so that the maximum continuous power output of the electric motor is 500 watts instead of 250 watts
to allow twist and go EAPCs to have throttle assistance up to 15.5mph (25km/h) without the need for type approval

This consultation asks:

for your views on the proposed changes
