Listing your bike on our website is E-bikes are legal in the UK, but there are specific regulations that govern their use. They can only provide pedal assistance, they should have a maximum power output of 250 watts, and the motor assistance should cut off when the bike reaches a speed of 15.5 mph (25 km/h). Any quicker or more powerful than this, and they are typically classified as mopeds or motorbikes.

The motor on electric bikes must stop assisting at 15.5 mph (25 kn/h), but you can push faster with your legs!

E-bikes are classified as standard bicycles as long as the pedal assistance is limited to 15.5 mph, and the motors don’t emit more than 250 watts.

Due to their lithium batteries and often heavyweight, most conventional couriers don’t ship e-bikes. This is why we’ve partnered with AnyVan, a removal and transport company, to collect and ship all e-bikes sold on our platform.

Please take great care when charging e-bike batteries. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are found in everyday items, from mobile phones and laptops to e-bikes and e-scooters. Though generally safe, they carry some risk. Never short out the battery in any way, and never leave the battery to charge at home alone Failure to safely use lithium batteries can result in fire, explosions, and destruction.
