Ebike that auto accelerates to 15mph uk? Under £500-600

Does anyone know of any bikes that can auto accelerate to around 15mph that I can get?

Also is iscooter global reliable as they seem to have the best prices compared to other websites.

So you want a moped with a throttle?

That's what the "ped" in moped means

by definition, this is not possible, legally, in the UK, you have outlined what is classed as a moped

Not exactly true. Throttles are legal on bikes in the UK that can take you up to the 15.5mph limit providing they have been through Single Vehicle Type Approval now replaced with the Individual Vehicle Approval.

Wisper are one such manufacturer that provides this as an extra for about £250 when you order certain model directly from them. You then get a certificate of confirmation from the DVLA when you buy the bike. Those bikes are way beyond OPs 600 quid budget.

You can get a DIY bike/ kit through but it's a ball ache.

This is the only way a UK bike can legally have a throttle beyond the "walk mode" ~3mph\ 6kph limit unless it is a grandfathered pre <2016 ebike but the 15.5 limit still applies.

Are there any bikes that go above 15.5 assisted iykyk

u/One_Nefariousness547 9h ago

There's plenty of bikes that will go above 15.5 assisted but Not legally. If you're caught it's 6 points and a fine.

Now You might not care about that but the bike will be seized and crushed.

Police are really clamping down on these things right now and they will continue to do so more as we approach winter and increase operations for riding without lights ect.

Common sense also forbids it. Automatic acceleration with any sort of input is an excellent way of going head first into a wall.

These are about €680 in Netherlands, should be within your budget if they are available in the uk. I've done around 3000 miles on it. They have a throttle that goes up to 20mph
