Enforcement of Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle (EAPC) limits is a matter for operationally independent police forces. Police have powers to take action against e-bikes that exceed the EAPC legal limits. It is for Chief Constables, rather than the Home Office, to determine how these powers are deployed in response to local priorities.
