Looks more like an emotor bike to me (very much like the Cake ones in fact). Is it twist and go rather than peddle assist?
All the trails and parks round here would not let you anywhere near them even if it was assisted as it is for sure not a normal ebike!
I bet it`s a right laugh to ride though
really...? All kidding aside, it is considered a Mountain Bike... it has peddles. Yes, it has a twist throttle too, but you dont have to use it.
alinutz198 wroteWe love it... I have one for the wife that is a Fat Tire Bike for the beach and cruising around the parks, and that one. If we go anywhere I usually throw them in the back of the truck and take them with us. We get to sightsee a lot more when your on one.Hello! What do you think about assisted electric bike?
RelaxIN2 wroteSo I looked this up last night for the UK as didn`t want to just be spouting crap - Will post the link below but the TLDR is that over a 250w motor and/or no assistance over 15.5 mph other wise its considered a motor bike and needs tax and insurance.
Actually, if its a "public or state" trail or park, the have to let you on as it truly is considered a peddle bike. The Park Rangers around my way have them as well... granted, not that type. A majority of them just want to see it and ask about it. I have even been pulled over once in a parking lot. The cop just wanted to know more about... talked to be for like 5 minutes...

How long was the circuit?
Chapperss wroteYou know what, I'll come to the fence... You are correct, over here in the States it does depend on the specific State, township and in some cases the parks. In my state we are allowed a maximum of 750 Watt motor and/or up to 20 or 25 MPH speed. I believe its 20 MPH. My bike has an ECU and has 2 modes. A street mode that will reduce the power to 750w and 25 MPH... and a Competition mode that will give it the full 5500w of power and speeds up to 52 MHP. I call it the fun mode. I have actually passed cars on the road with. I have to say, the look on their faces when I'm peddling by them..LOL.. cracks me the hell up..So I looked this up last night for the UK as didn`t want to just be spouting crap - Will post the link below but the TLDR is that over a 250w motor and/or no assistance over 15.5 mph other wise its considered a motor bike and needs tax and insurance.
All the lads i know with regular ebikes have the de-restricted and bush closer to 30mph but that`s technically an illegal mod.
Got to love the nanny state. . https://www.gov.uk/electric-bike-rules
All parks (the ones i've ridden anyway) do not allow twist a go on site - public parks may be different but I think not (its one google to many for me) as you do not ever see them on the trails.
Again dude, not hating. It`s a great machine, just with the way we look at them in the UK my mind goes straight to emotorbike
Chapperss wroteMy bike (the blue one) is a 5010 but my buddie rides a Bronson.Are they both 5010`s

RelaxIN2 wroteDude, post and side track away, it`s all good fun.Dont let me side track your thread, I was just having some Mountain Bike fun with you..
Chapperss wroteThat's 24km total since I always want to come back...12k is alright
Lady Jane wrote70km.... If I could even do that, i`d be dead for a bout a week! That some serious peddling.A few more pics.
