Apparently this is how some DIC dicks are still able to have some wheels - fitting engines to MTBs.

How do they know how much power it has!
You could have a more powerful one (say 500 Watts) with a "280 Watts" sticker on it!
Do they pull you up and test them!

this was on the news or cambell live a while back - the police are able to prosecute a person riding a power assisted bicycle if they are disqualified from drivig

Correct me of im wrong, but I thought a power assisted cycle does not need to be registered! Failing that, surely there is a point at which a power assisted cycle does not need to be reg, ie a low powered electric scooter, in which case someone that was done DIC could ride it. Where the police get the guys riding MTB bikes is that they grossly exceed the 300w rule, so could be done for no reg as it should be reg as a moped as well as driving while disq.
