Default Souped up e-bike is classed as a motorcycle

QUOTE:
Although Hanlon's bike used a battery rather than an engine, the court heard it is classed as a motorcycle rather than an electrically-assisted pedal cycle because it could travel more than the legal 15.5mph limit.

On the same basis, maybe the same 15.5 mph threshold should be considered the
speed limit for cycling. Else high speed cyclists should be regulated in the
more comprehensive way motorcycle riders are.

Speed limits do not apply to cyclists, save for a few Royal parks and seafronts.
