answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2023 answer text <p>The Department has made no such estimate. Pedelecs and other forms of e-cycle which do not comply with the Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle regulations need to be registered, insured and taxed as a motor vehicle, and the rider will need an appropriate driving licence and will have to wear an approved motorcycle safety helmet. These are matters for the rider, and enforcement of the requirements is a matter for the police.</p> answering member printed Lord Davies of Gower question first answered 15/12/2023 11:22:07 answering member 4499 label Biography information for Lord Davies of Gower
