Electric bikes don't need number plates, insurance, because they are limited to 15mph and its pedal assisted.
Those that exceed this and have a twist grip throttle require insurance & number plates as they are classed as motor vehicles.
Tax they'll pay the same as Tesla owners. No pollution= No Tax
