We welcome you to our premises to work on your e-bikes we love them but,

Some clarification.

We unfortunately cannot work on any e-bikes that do not conform to current UK legislation.

Details can be found @ GOV.UK

Electrically assisted pedal cycles EAPC.

MUST SHOW

Power output/motor manufacturer

Battery voltage/maximum speed of bike.

THE MOTOR

Max power of 250 watts

motor assisted limited to 15.5 mph

motor is pedal assist only.

Any e-bike that does not comply with the above is an electric moped/motorcycle and use anywhere outside of private land requires your bike to be registered and taxed and you are required to wear a crash helmet.

A chipped bike to override the speed limiter is legally a moped/motorcycle.

A throttle controlled motor is legally a moped/motorcycle.

While it is legal to sell the above bikes as e-bikes, it's not currently legal to use on public roads and highways. We are seeing a lot of confusion where "it's legal to buy why not to use!"

We will check your e-bike before we carry out any assessment or repairs. If it's not UK road legal, we cannot work or help you complete any repairs at our workshop.

DCCP now has an Ebay shop.

We have acquired a collection of parts donated by customers or received from cycle shops that have ceased trading. Many of these will probably languish on our shelves unused, as most are quite specialised or are very specific to certain styles of bikes or of a vintage that isn't our everyday project.

So, maybe it's for you? Check out our shop -

durringtonc_69 please add to your saved sellers, and buy generously.

the 18th December will be our last day open of 2024, we will reopen on the 4th January 2025.

We have reached that time of year again when we are able to share what we have raised through the year. This is only possible due to the amazing work our volunteers do week after week, also not forgetting you our customers, without you the money would not be available.
