The problem is not the laws or regulations, it's enforcement and education.

We already have laws and regulations that define what is an Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle (EAPC), treated as a bicycle and legal anywhere a bicycle is legal. And laws that define what is an Electric Motorcycle and how it can be used, treated as a motorcycle.

Lancaster police benefit from new fleet of electronically assisted bikes
Officers have recently received two new EAPC (Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle) bikes to enhance patrol capabilities and improve visibility.

How many 'illegal ebikes' have I seen, that be ZERO as they don't exist! But carry on decieving the public by calling illegal unregistered electric motorcycles (defined by the EAPC regs) as ebikes which they are not! Stop being part of the problem with ebike lies!
“Who else had already spotted them? Everyone on the pavement. Everyone behind the wheel. The Met, who seized more than 2,500 illegal e-bikes and e-scooters in the first seven months of this year. Basically anyone with eyes”

So the illegal use of unregistered electric motorcycles as damaging the ebike & motorcycle trade? TBH I ain't surprised. Nor am I surprised of some of the MPs clearly bigoted (& likely motonormativity) views on eBikes & lack of understanding of the government's own very clear to understand EAPC regs

To be fair to police though, one of the big issues here is in training staff to actually understand and be able to perceive different between a legal ebike/EAPC and an illegally modified one or street illegal one. The entire area's a mess currently with lots of consequences.

The rules are condensed onto one government page. I don't think it could be clearer apart from double checking to confirm that yes, a twist and go with type approval that meets the 250w/15.5mph power/speed rules is still an EAPC

...but you are continuing to use terms like "illegally modified e-bikes" and "conversion kits" where these are easily conflated with EAPC-compliant e-bikes & legal packages like Swytch, which muddies the conversation and leads directly to outcomes like policing seizures of EAPCs during enforcement.

...the point being - you're better placed than most to try and steer the nomenclature towards "illegal e-motorbikes" which is much closer to the legislative reality of both Sur-Ron-type and non-EAPC compliant pedal cycles, so you're otherwise bound to keep getting feedback like this.

if a bike does not meet Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle (EAPC) rules then it is classified as a motor vehicle, moped, or motorcycle, must be registered, taxed, insured, type-approved, and the rider must hold a valid driver's licence and wear an approved motorcycle helmet.

It's mostly for theft cover, also includes breakdown cover which for me is essential. Just finding the insurance companies & their underwriters can't grasp the basics of the EAPC regs.

EAPC isn't close to NATO membership though - Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan are members and they aren't likely to join NATO this week. There are EU defence obligations, as you say, but my understanding is that they fall some way short of NATO membership.

One of the reasons for the alliance is logistical.
The militaries of the EU must have equipment that is interchangable, for example, if your German comrade is killed you can pick up his gun and use your ammunition.
