Better check up on that - you may still need a licence as it's 'powered'.

From what ive read its aslong as its under 300w its not classed as a moped and you dont need a licence. Ive been looking at a 1.2kw kit thats suposed to be good for 70kph >:D they supply you with a 200w sticker aswel :police:

You may learn, but the jury is out on that one at the moment.

1.2kw is 4 x 300W so you would be fined for a false declaration
