So you buy a known model with the correct stickers and switch out the motor and related circuits. If they’re anything like bore-swaps, the motor will have the same case and say 250W on it.
When? Also it’s probably not hard to have a setting to only use 250 watts of power. Illegally modified ebikes and emopeds are a thing everywhere, do you think the UK is uniquely effective at combating them?
Holy shit I forgot how much british news loves its fascism.
But yeah, it shouldn’t be too hard to put together a bike that can beat the tests, but it might require some creativity, such as setting up the phone holder to disengage the >250W circuit, so you can take your phone, hand the bike to the pig, and it will pass the test.

They still put the known models on a dyno, so you do all that work and spend all that money and it still gets crushed.

All the details here: they just stop people randomly in the street and test them. https://youtu.be/XcFuN2fitOU
