Increase e-bike maximum assisted speed from 15.5mph to 20mph

Closed 330 signatures

What the petition asks

After 15.5mph e-bikes can be ridden quicker, but the rider will no longer receive assistance from the motor.
We ask Government to consider adjusting the limits to be in line with US legislation of 20mph, which will also allow cyclists to move away from dangers more quickly.
