So I’m getting mixed messages here .

An electric scooter is classed as a follows , a PLEV

However an electric bike is not it’s an EAPC

So I really don’t understand why one is road legal ( Bike ) and the other is not ( scooter ) . Surely the legal one should then have a relevant insurance , registration ect ?

The speed some idiot went pass me on an EAPC yesterday was worse than some scooter riders .
