Closed petition: Raise e-bike speed to 20mph, power to 1000W, throttle to 15.5mph

Closed on

Raise e-bike maximum speed limit to 20mph, power to 1000W for hills, & throttle to 15.5mph. We think current 250W/15.5mph limits hinder commuters, disabled riders, and cargo use. We believe this could lead to safer, greener, more active travel, cut emissions, and help stop illegal modification.

We think a 20mph speed limit would help cut car use and align e-bikes with traffic. 1000W could aid hill climbs, cargo & disabled riders. 15.5mph throttles could boost accessibility. We want the Government to act for greener, safer UK travel!
