Following several incidents recently involving electric bikes, we’d like to take a moment to remind riders of the safety and legal requirements involved with their use.
In particular, we’re talking about the likes of Surron electric bikes, which have been involved in two serious collisions over the last fortnight, both of which have left the riders with significant injuries.
MOST Surrons are NOT road legal and are only permitted to be ridden on private land with permission.
They are not permitted to be used on public roads, cycle paths or footpaths.
If you have one of the few road legal models, you must have:
• Insurance (Third Party at a minimum)
• A valid registration and number plate
• A motorcycle helmet that meets UK safety standards
Without these, your bike is likely to be seized by police.

Please remember that by riding dangerously or illegally, you’re putting yourself at risk of serious injury.
We’re not interested in spoiling your fun. We’re interested in keeping you and other road users safe.
