A lot of confusion in this article, calling the vehicle both an ebike and a motorbike. BBC need to train their reporters.
There are calls for a new law to deal with illegal ebikes, but surely they are motorbikes and the laws already exist for the rider and the bike.

Decriminalise abortion and make it a protected human right.
Women’s rights are under threat from the far right. Nigel Farage just called our current abortion provisions “utterly ludicrous” – and others in power are paying attention. A vote in Parliament could finally make abortion a protected human right. We only have a few days to show them: the public backs abortion rights. Let’s make sure they vote on the right side of history.
