This is the best summary I could come up with:
Police stopped the rider on the motorway hard shoulder at Potters Bar in Hertfordshire on Sunday.
Its higher speed meant the e-bike fell "outside of [the] regulations and cannot be ridden on our roads", said police, who seized it.
"With a power output of over 250w and a maximum speed of 22mph, it falls outside of EAPC regulations," they wrote.
Hertfordshire Police said officers were alerted at about 15:15 GMT on Sunday that "a man was riding a push bike on the hard shoulder of the M25 (clockwise)".
Sgt Jamie Cooper, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Road Policing Unit, said: "I would like to remind everyone that it is illegal and unsafe to ride any type of pedal cycle on the motorway.
"Some pedal cycles - like the one stopped by our officers - are also illegal on any road in the United Kingdom, due to them falling outside of the EAPC regulations."
