As long as the maximum speed cannot exceed 15mph, it counts as a bicycle, which is all you'd be allowed to ride on a public highway in the UK.

I have tried to get a response from the DVLA regarding power-levels for electric motorbikes (I have a provisional license for a 50cc scooter), but I have had no reply.

Thats interesting, because over here in my neck of the world the laws state anything with a motor (gas or electric) counts as a motor vehicel and you must have a licence or permit to operate. Growing up I had a friend get a ticket for riding a moped on the street without a permit, and the motor didn't even work (he was pedaling it like a bike). Unless the laws have changed to allow it (HAHAHAHA!!) it's still that way.
