Road Legal E-Bikes 

 We have written this guide so that customers may fully understand  what is entailed when they undertake converting an E-Bike or Electric Bike for Road Use.

A customer may choose to register their Off Road E bike for Road use themselves. We also strongly recommend that Off Road Riders also register their Off Road E-Bike Voluntarily with the DVLA, Please contact us for more details. Customers may prepare a suitable E-Bike to be registered as an ENDURO class bike with the DVLA. 

WPB are based in Swansea and we have close proximity to the DVLA also in Swansea.

We have assisted many customer with registrations. We know from experience  that registering an E-Bike as Road Legal can be a frustrating process, yet again it may  also be easy, it all depends on how well you prepare your documentation we can assist here our Admin fee is only £35

Consumer Advice

Please Note there are many types of E-Bike but only some are capable of being made  Road Legal

Please do not request assistance with the registration of Ebikes that we consider as Toys.

A Serious E-Bike or E-DirtBike has to have a certain Minimum size to even be considered for Road Use.

A Small style E-bike is NOT eligible for Enduro Class Registration as it will never meet the 900 mm minimum required seat height, and a 310 mm or above sump clearance. If you wish to register such a bike then it will either need a Certificate of Conformity or a Type Approval certificate, this is very unlikely unless the Ebike is sold specifically mentioning this. 

Self Registration of an OFF Road E-Bike

You may Register an E-Bike as an OFF Road  Bike at the DVLA.

This Registration does not allow Road Use, but it confirms you as the owner of the bike and may prevent the bike being ceased by an Authority whilst they establish the ownership of the bike.

We Strongly Recommend the Voluntary Registration of All Off Road Vehicles , Petrol and Electric.

Electric E-Bike Road Registration

WPB now offers its assistance in registering E Bikes for road use. WPB now offers its long standing experience in registering pitbikes, to the Road Registration of E Bikes, such as Sur-Ron and Talaria with the DVLA.

WPB understands that most riders want to be legal, they want to ride responsibly, the best way to achieve this is by registering your E Bike with the DVLA.

Again, the process is the same, all Off Road Electrics are suitable for Voluntary Registration at the DVLA.

Larger E-bikes such as the Sur-Ron Light Bee X off road can be Enduro Registered for Road use. Doing it yourself requires a bit of effort but its well worth it. The Sur-Ron Light Bee X can be driven on a Drivers Licence such as a power class similar to  50cc class Moped in the restricted form or a 125cc Class Licence in de-restricted form.

Then we have the E Bikes such as the Sur-Ron Light Bee S, the Ultra Bee and the Storm Bee,  all of which are  whole new Serious Road contenders, but you will have to consider your Licence Qualifications for these higher power E-Motors.

Please give WPB a call to discuss your requirements.
