What to do with a E-bike nobber

[Levo-Lon]

@Levo-Lon You're a resourceful guy, why not build your own EMP generator and knock out his motor?

That would knock my levo out too

Ooh, that’s nice.

Ooh, that’s nice.

Thank you, its bloody fabulous.
I love my Specialized Epic XC bike but that's for the nice weather and long evening rides out with son in law, we usually need to climb fences gates ect so taking a E-bike isn't as practical.

Paint tin & a tape measure, white line at start white line in 100 metres, film him between the 2 lines, from the display work out the speed.

I am very surprised that you cannot buy speed guns, or there isn't an app for a phone, I see hundreds of situations where one would be useful.

A couple of things here, are you sure it’s an illegal bike. I have a legal ebike and often ride at 20-25mph (obviously not like this guy..........)
And, if it is illegal then the police don’t need to catch him speeding, just riding it. Having taken possession of the bike I’m not sure how they would go about checking and measuring etc, and I suspect they don’t really know either - which is probably why you are having difficulty interesting them.

I think it was one of these.

Only just an e bike, but it was pretty quick.

I witnessed a very similar bike to this in Richmond Park , the rider was blaring his way along the shared ped-cycle paths, at first sight I thought it was Kawasaki or similar dirt bike , it needs looking before some person of worse child gets whacked ,

He doesn't pedal it, quick pedal burst then its off.. Pedals still.

My ebike and ive had 2 need pedalling all the time to be assisted upto 15.5mph then your on your own.
If I'm riding along this cycle-pedestrian route at my usual 15-18mph this guy comes past like im hardly moving, seriously quick and is in the distance in seconds.


I hung around after work to confront him but he didn't show.
I was in my van so not on thecycle way, maybe i should drive after him

Correct me if I'm wrong here but I thought all assistance cut out at 15mph on these E bikes ? So going by your quote of riding at 20-25mph I assume that's under your own steam and on the flat or downhill ? Which is fair enough however I've yet to meet an E bike that can ride faster than me on the flat or downhill ? Thats not trying hard neither, they just seem to slow down ?? Maybe its the type of motor in use ?

Find out where he works and write to his employer.

What’s it got to do with his employer?

 

[MrGrumpy]

Yep I've seen that before but surely that's not what we are taking about here ? If we are, I'd be getting in touch with the police myself as that ridden at that speed on a path is utterly idiotic. Seriously if you want to ride that fast buy a motor bike ?

What ebike do you have ?

Nothing, but it's a good move tactically.

If you fear someone won't listen to you, get someone to tell them who they will listen to.

I saw a lorry driver chuck a food wrapper from his moving cab.

I contacted the name of the company written on the door.

The transport manager replied to apologise, and to assure me the driver had been warned.
