## How the catalogue is researched

Core specifications come primarily from official manufacturer pages, manuals and retailer material. They are normalised into consistent units for comparison. Similarly named bikes can differ by region or model year, so a missing field must be treated as unknown rather than copied from another version.

Automated price and stock checks run daily where retailer pages permit them. A listing's stored check date is evidence of when that record was checked, not a guarantee that the retailer has not changed price, code, configuration or availability since. Always confirm at checkout.

New models and corrections are reviewed manually, and community submissions are moderated before publication. Affiliate relationships do not determine whether a bike is listed or how it ranks.

## Legal-status caveat

A 250 W-or-lower continuous motor rating is one EAPC requirement, not proof that a bike is road-legal. Confirm the exact regional configuration, required markings, working pedals, 15.5 mph motor cut-off and any throttle approval against current official guidance.
