Electric moto and laws
Electric moto and laws
So I know you don’t need a licence for an electric moto but what about plate and ID?
Saw a proper maxi scooter ($3500!, but it did 72mph) but it was electric and he said he always gets stopped for no plate but then he explains it’s electric and after a bit of confusion they let him go.
Would I have to wear a helmet, even though I would anyway just wondering.
What says you all?

Re: Electric moto and laws
So far they don't need to be registered/plates. But given the recent hike in numbers I have seen being ridden around the place I reckon it's only a matter of time.
And yes, pretty sure you need to wear a helmet. The Go2 hire ones come with two helmets.
I was out walking the other day and found a couple in an alley who'd obviously just that minute taken delivery of their brand new electric moped. They were turning the key and wondering why it didn't "start" so I did a throttle motion and said "toe!" and they realised it was "on" haha. They then took turns riding (slowly) up and down the alley to get the hang of it. Very cute.

Re: Electric moto and laws
No plate needed
Helmet needed
Those things make real bikes look safe and have max torque at zero rpm, so it can pull very hard instantly
Here's a very satisfying compilation of retards on electric bikes:

No not an E scooter a moto.
Any grown man (or woman or any gender) who rides one of those needs to have a word with themselves. Utterly stupid embarrassing things.
Ok for a 7yo but not anyone over 16!

I don’t see how they can make people get plates. Imagine the shit show if they try that!timmydownawell wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 5:59 pm So far they don't need to be registered/plates. But given the recent hike in numbers I have seen being ridden around the place I reckon it's only a matter of time.
