Definitely not a conspiracy theory, but this comes coincidentally at the same time the UK considers breaking from EU requirement for pedals on ebikes lol.
I’m pretty sure that’s just about using the pedals, as in having an ebike with a throttle won’t be an issue (even though throttles are extremely common, mine is 250w + EU speed limit and has a half-twist throttle).
Not that the legislation is 100% unrelated, but I see it likely more of just accepting that people have been going faster for a while.
