Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycles (EAPC) are not legally compliant if they can be propelled at more than 15.5 miles per hour (mph) by the motor (https://www.gov.uk/electric-bike-rules 

If a vehicle is not an EAPC it can only be ridden on a road, the rider must have a valid driving licence and the vehicle must be insured.

E-Bikes are common in Leith and particularly on the cycle paths on Leith Walk: many of them appear not to be legally compliant.

The presence of vehicles which are essentially mopeds on a pedestrian street is antisocial and dangerous.

You'll find many stories online of deaths caused by non-EAPCs: Gloria Stephenson in Sunderland, Ibrahim Shaaban in West London to name a couple.

Please sign this petition to show your support for this cause; we need immediate and effective action from our elected representatives and Police Scotland.
