United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

It is due to nobs, and also the bikes. The power output classes them as road vehicles and therefore should be taxed, mot'ed and insured like any other motorbike.
I don't often see this happening with 125cc bikes or anything like that. The ease of buying a full electric bike or converting one is so easily done which is why nobs are doing it.
I'm all in support for lightweight electric vehicles. It just has to be done within the law, and to be honest the law does need changing to accommodate technology changes like this.
