As per the title, is this possible?

Have also asked this in the Biker Banter section.

I don't see much about it online but that's maybe not surprising given that, at present, most seem to be bought for cash by 16 yr old roadmen in puffa jackets & balaes. 😉

Yep. Someone gave a similar response over on Biker Banter.

Wishful thinking as I suspected. I'd seen a post on here from 2020/21 where someone talked about their friend getting one on a CtW scheme & I also read a while back about Sur-ron (or a similar e-motorbike manufacturer) offering dummy cranks & pedals so that it qualified for some kind of financial assistance along the lines of the CtW scheme.

Both stories were clearly the product of the urban rumour mill it would seem.

Oh, well. That & the fact I couldn't leave it anywhere have shelved that idea! smile

I posted on Biker Banter about the Seat Mos a little while back. I've got a bike licence & all the gear but, despite the giveaway prices, still wouldn't want one. I reckon there'll be naff all after-sales support & a road legal Sur-ron is a better bet.

I know a guy who knows a guy who sells illegal ebikes in his (legit) ebike shop & am sure I could get one on Cycle-to-Work... even if it had to be slightly misdescribed on the paperwork! He sells derestricted & US spec bikes on the side & chips/dongles mainstream EU brands.

I'm currently workimg on the basis of:
1) another motorbike
2) a (legal) ebike
3) a folding bike to pop in the boot of the car

A bike for every occasion.
