Change the maximum pedal assist speed of electric bicycles from 15.5mph to 20mph

Electric Bikes (EAPC) are a way of getting people off cars and on bikes. They strike a perfect balance between keeping fit and getting from A to B. Cars are the leading cause of pedestrian deaths in the UK and it is vital we encourage people to get onto two wheels. Many people view cycling as a form of leisure and we think that electric bikes still promote fitness and leisure and also encourage people to switch from cars since they reduce the physical demands of cycling.
