you can get away with an illegal home-build
Until Mr Plod spots you using it on the public highway. If it's too fast/heavy/powerful to qualify as an EAPC, it's a motorcycle subject to all the usual construction and use, tax, testing and licensing regime you'd enjoy if it had an internal combustion engine.
As far as I'm aware, as there is no MOT for bikes, you can get away with an illegal home-build but manufacturers won't make an illegal bike to sell.
That douche probably made it himself, or got someone to do the work for him.
