Electric Bikes 

Individuals aged 14 and above can operate an electric bike that meets specific criteria without the need for a license, registration, taxation, or insurance. These bicycles are referred to as 'electrically assisted pedal cycles' (EAPCs) and must feature pedals for propulsion. An EAPC must display information such as the power output, motor manufacturer, battery voltage, and maximum speed.

The electric motor of an EAPC must not exceed 250 watts and should not provide assistance over 15.5mph. EAPCs can have more than two wheels, like a tricycle, and are considered normal pedal bikes for usage on cycle paths and areas where bicycles are allowed.

Summary

In the UK, electric bikes (EAPCs) must adhere to the following regulations:

• Riders must be 14 years or older
• No license, registration, tax, or insurance is required
• Pedals must be present for propulsion
• Display requirements for power output, motor manufacturer, battery voltage, and maximum speed
• An e-bike must have a motor with a maximum continuous power output of 250W to be road legal
• A maximum speed of 15mph (25 km/h) is permitted on public roads (Surpassing the authorized speed limit could lead to the classification of the e-bike as a motorcycle or moped, necessitating the acquisition of suitable licenses, insurance, and registration)
• Although not compulsory, it is advisable to wear a helmet for personal safety
• E-bikes are classified as bicycles and must follow the same rules and regulations as standard bicycles

**If an e-bike has a throttle that allows it to operate without pedaling, it is classified as a motor vehicle, meaning that riders must adhere to motorcycle regulations, which include licensing, registration, insurance, and wearing a helmet. Therefore, throttle e-bikes are not permitted under the standard e-bike regulations in the UK. If you have a throttle-controlled bike, it must comply with motorcycle laws, necessitating the appropriate licensing and insurance. Always check the latest regulations or consult your local authorities for the most current information.

E-Scooters

E-bikes are permissible in the UK, but e-scooters are subject to different regulations. The usage of privately owned e-scooters on public roads and pavements is prohibited in most parts of the UK, with the exception of specific trial areas. The UK government is currently conducting trials of rental e-scooters in designated regions to evaluate their effectiveness and influence on transportation systems. The varying regulations for e-scooters are largely driven by safety considerations and the necessity for suitable infrastructure to accommodate their use.

In December 2023, it was announced that the Department for Transport had informed councils that the legalisation of all e-scooters was still being considered, but they had yet to secure a timeframe for the proposed legalisation. Consequently, the e-scooter trials have been prolonged by an additional two years until May 31, 2026.

All regulations on our website will be regularly updated to align with UK laws. For additional guidance, please reach out to info@powertopedal.com.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, with tags, unused and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.

Please be advised that the 14-day return window allows you to inspect the goods as you would in a physical store. To receive a complete refund, the items must be returned in a condition that is deemed as "as new" or resaleable.

To start a return, you can contact us at info@powertopedal.com. Please note that returns policies may vary between brands at Power to Pedal, please see individual product pages for accurate returns policies. 

Before repackaging complete the following:

• Capture a short video clip and images of all sides of the bike, highlighting any scratches, dents, or damages (if applicable).
• Use all available foam materials and ties to protect critical components, including the frame, handlebar, crankset, and suspension forks.
• Place removable parts (such as pedals, display monitor, quick release, tail light, and toolset kit) back into their original packaging.
• Follow the same packing procedures for all accessories.
• Take additional images and videos of the packed bike and send them to us via email at info@powertopedal.com for approval.

Please be patient throughout this process as it can take 3-5 weeks depending on the speed of each step. If your return is accepted, we’ll send you a return shipping label, as well as instructions on how and where to send your package. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted.

Frog Bikes Arrive 95% Assembled

To prevent damage during transit, the handlebars are turned, and the pedals are not attached. Upon unboxing your bike, simply straighten the handlebars and install the pedals to complete the assembly process. For this final touch, you will need 5mm and 6mm Allen keys, along with a 15mm spanner. With just a few tools and minimal effort, your child will be ready to hit the road on their new Frog Bike!

To ensure a comfortable and enjoyable ride, use the Frog Bike size guide to assist in purchasing the correct sized bike for your child. It may be tempting to purchase a bike that your child can "grow into," but this often leads to discouragement and frustration, as a poorly fitting bike can deter young riders from cycling altogether. Frog bikes are carefully engineered to be lightweight and specifically designed to fit the anatomy of children, ensuring a comfortable ride that fosters a love for cycling. You can also consult our team for any guidance you may need to find the perfect bike for your child.

Please note, the kickstand is intended only to support the bike's weight—sitting on the bicycle when the kickstand is engaged could cause damage or lead to injury. Additionally, please be aware that colours of our bikes may vary slightly due to display differences and paint batch variations.
