Illegal bike seized by police
ILLEGAL bikes have been seized by police amid concerns about safety and anti-social behaviour.
The two-wheelers are classed as a mechanically propelled vehicle and would therefore need to be registered with the DVLA as well as be insured, taxed and have a valid MOT. This is because of the speeds the bike can get up to without any need to pedal...
A police spokesman said: "Bikes like this, we know, cause anti-social behaviour as well as danger to other road users and pedestrians. The DIY-style conversion is also very dangerous to the rider - look at those wires!
"Please think twice about having a bike like this as you may also face points on your driving license plus a fine."
