R and M bikes are available in uk with the euro spec 45kph top speed as well as the UK spec 25kph.
Not sure if they make you sign a disclaimer to say your not using it on public roads.

Really? How?
I have a R&M Tinker - any way I can unlock it retrospectively?

Yes, I work for a R&M dealer so am aware of this. We can order the bikes, and sell the bikes. It is the customers responsibility to register the HS model as a vehicle and tax/insure etc. We talk most customers out of them, not really appropriate for their use anyway. (Old men riding on British bike paths)
If you want a HS and willing to sign a disclaimer I can do you a forum discount. (Based up north though)
I personally would like a HS for commuting in summer (60 mile round trip) but not sure if can be bothered with the admin and not sure I want to run it illegally.

It was cycling into Antwerp from Ghent on tour I first encountered a high speed pedelec, the gentleman was on the bike path and zooming along but paused for a chat as I pootled along at 16mph on my none-e bike. As he was using the path i assumed the Belgians had different rules (saw quite a few HS bikes on bike paths) he also had a tiny little number plate rather than an A4 sized one like you would be required to fit in the UK.
Bosch high speed is 350w so not sure how that fits in.
