E-bikes could get faster, more powerful and not require pedaling, in a move announced today by UKGOV. Cycling organizations are opposed to the plans.

Just so you know, ebikes sold in Europe don’t have a hand throttle, because laws.
But also, most ebike manufacturers use generic motor controllers.
Is there a small panel somewhere on your ebike? Take it off and see if there’s a small aluminium box in there with dozens of wires coming out of it.
Chances are, one of those sets of wires ends in an unused black plug, with a red, a black, and a green wire going to it.
That’s the throttle plug.
Any old generic throttle from Crapazon will fit it. You might have to swap the wire colours.
Enjoy :)
It’s trivial to make most adjustments to these bikes. Disabling speed limiters etc.
It’s still illegal however
I’m not suggesting someone should actually, like, go ahead and do it because it’s so easy, Mr GoodyTwoShoes
