I guess that too many beer mats were masquerading as tax disks !

The discs are no more, but the tax (Road Fund Licence) remains, enforced now
not by eyeballing the expiry date on the disc, but by Automatic Number Plate
Recognition software on the speed cameras installed everywhere for road safety.
As well as in patrol cars, all interfaced with the national database of
registered, taxed and insured vehicles (or rather, the converse - a recognised
vehicle which is not on that database is automatically flagged to be pulled
over).
1984 is so, so twentieth century...

No, John. Provided that the machine will travel at no more than 15mph (I
believe is the limit) nor that there is a separate throttle for the electric
motor. Legally allowed electric bicycles work under impulse from the pedals;
the Copenhagen Wheel works like that as well.
Remember that vehicles in the UK no longer have tax disks.

On UK road do they require insurance, tax disk on the handlebars and a cycling

Electric bikes are great. There’s a new system called the Copenhagen Wheel which
I’m considering.

#2 son still does around 250km per week riding to and from work without Lycra assistance. But -
they’re moving the factory about 8km further away and he’s now (gasp) over 30yo so
he’s just bought an electric power assisted bike. poor old thing. Cut his journey time by a
third.
