The DVSA Certification Process
Once you order a Pedibal eBike with the DVSA Certified Throttle, we handle the necessary steps with the DVSA to gain L1e Type Approval, designating it as a 250W Low Powered Moped (LPM). This process involves DVSA certification at an approved centre and may take 2–5 weeks.
After certification, your bike receives a British National Type Approval Certificate linked to its unique frame number. This certificate, similar to an MOT, remains valid for the bike’s lifetime with no need for renewals.
Your Pedibal throttle eBike also retains all regular eBike functions, including pedal assist. You can use the throttle as needed without impacting standard Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle (EAPC) functions.
Regulatory Compliance
As L1e eBikes, our DVSA-certified models fall within the Low Powered Moped category under UK Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle Regulations 1983, updated by SI 2015 No. 24. This means that with certification, Pedibal eBikes can legally operate on UK roads and private lands at speeds up to 15.5 mph via throttle use.
Pricing Information
The DVSA Certified Throttle option includes additional charges for certification testing and logistics to and from the test centre.
Important Note
A DVSA Certified Throttle does not increase the power of your eBike. You may still need to pedal on steep hills.
