PAB {pedal assisted bicycle** riders must follow the rules and regulations of a regular bicycles, wear an approved bicycle helmet and be at least 16 years or older.

If the electric bicycle travels faster than 32km/h, it requires a liscence. Either you try and register it (good luck) Or just don't speed with it.
