Police issued an appeal to find the woman, who came forward two days after the collision. The mother claims that while officers were initially 'very angry' that a cyclist could have caused these injuries, as soon as they found out it was a 65-year-old woman their judgement changed.
She was told the bike had not been modified to exceed the 15.5 miles per house that such a bike can reach without medal power.
Huh? So if you run a pedestrian down in a bog standard Ford Escort you'll be treated more leniently than if you did it in one with a nitrous injection kit?
It's got to be more than just the age of the cyclist, surely?
Ms Gore said she was 'very lucky' her son survived adding that she wants people to realise the dangers the heavy and 'potentially faster' e-bikes can pose. MailOnline has approached North Wales Police for a comment.
Doesn't sound like they provided one, does it?

"She was told the bike had not been modified to exceed the 15.5 miles per house that such a bike can reach without medal power".
Are you sur that Kamala did not issue this statement?
"The child's mother is now calling for tougher laws for battery-powered bicycles."
The laws already exist: it's apparently too much bother to enforce them.
:blink:
15 miles per what now?
Medal power? Chris Hoy?
Mow down a small child on a pedestrian footpath and flee the scene of the accident ? Oh, well "intent" very much matters. Watching a gathering later deemed to be "right wing demonstration". arrest and jailing, "intent" doesn't seem to matter at all. In fact authorities are quite pleased and boastful that intent will not be a consideration for prosecution. Multi-tier policing ? No such thing apparently.
What a mess of typos the article is. Don't they bother with proofreading anymore?
So this woman watched her uncontrolled 2 year old “wander” onto a cycle path. Why wasn’t the child under proper supervision?
At least the child’s injury won’t show too much if it’s treated by the same cosmetic surgeon that Mum uses.
"Are you sur that Kamala did not issue this statement?"
She might as well have, for alll the sense it made!
"15 miles per what now?"
To paraphrase Lawrence Walsh: 'Forget it, PJH , it's the 'Mail'!
"Medal power? Chris Hoy?"
🤷♀️
"Multi-tier policing ? No such thing apparently."
No of course not - perish the thought! 😏
"Don't they bother with proofreading anymore?"
Did they ever?
