Urban E-Riders FAQs

 

Are e-bikes legal?

In the UK, e-bikes are legal to use as long as they meet a certain criteria set by the UK Government. If you follow the same rules on the road normal cyclists do, e-bikes are perfectly legal to use in bike permitted areas.

 

What is the legal speed limit for e-bikes in the UK?

E-bikes are limited to maximum speed of 15.5mph in the UK. Discover how fast electric bikes go and how to choose the right electric bike for your speed requirements.

 

Is it cheating to ride an e-bike instead of a traditional bicycle?

You can easily combine manual pedalling with electric power, it only makes cycling more fun and enjoyable!

We believe that electric bikes help challenge you to go further – you can gear up for the work commute with double the capacity in power thanks to their hardy electric motor. If you’re looking to be more active than ever, an e-bike is key to revitalising your daily routine – from easier road cycling trips to longer offroad adventures, our e-bikes have you covered!

 

Can I ride an e-bike without a license?

Provided you meet the age requirement (14+), you do not require a license to ride an electric bike.

 

What is your returns policy like?

Our current refund and returns policy allows customers to return products within 14 days of purchase; provided the product and packaging are returned to Urban E-Riders in the same quality they arrived. If your product needs replacing due to damage or defectiveness, contact us about exchanging it for the same item at [email protected].

Additionally, damaged and faulty items will need to be queried during the initial 30-day period after purchasing – different brands of e-bikes will have different warranties.
