So the police seized a street-legal e-bike, one that was actually supplied by the city council for this purpose… And the reason being that they tested it by driving the wheels manually????
Police tested Zandi’s bike by lifting the back wheel and spinning the pedals as fast as they could, then making a note of the bike’s display.
The bike was seized as it showed a speed over the limit of 15.5mph.
But the test was flawed, as all it showed was how fast police were manually able to make the wheel turn, not the power of the motor.
