Apparently it makes me unpopular and an unpopular person to ride around on pavements, footpaths, cycle lanes and occasionally roads. Especially if no peddling is involved.

love it

Nipping through queues of traffic. Cruising past the puffing pedalers in their lycra. Tearing along the back streets and bombing down the cycle paths.

Perfect

"It is illegal to ride a bicycle (electric or otherwise) on pavements "

Says who? Half the cycle paths in Stoke on Trent are clearly marked on pavements, crossings often have little people and cycles marked on them, denoting dual use.

The fact I'm using a BMX with 3500w motor and a throttle is slightly more significantly illegal.

The law.

Section 72 of the Highways act 1835 for a start.

Also look at rule 64 of the Highway code

Not if the cycle path is on the pavement.

Fiido D4S with upgraded tyres. Absolutely flies but no suspension so the potholes tend to keep the speed moderated!
