MODERATORS
Here in Vietnam, they have ebikes that do 115 kph (though 99% of city driving is like like 15 mph). If the rest of traffic is going that speed, shouldnt you be able to go that speed?
You can get that in America. You just have a level 3 classification and at that point it needs to be registered and insured. But has full road access.
You absolutely do not need a registration and license for a class 3 ebike in America. Maybe in your local jurisdiction, but that is definitely not the case everywhere. Not in Maryland at least, and we are one of the more heavy-handed regulation states.
Laws changed this year in California.
115 KM/h is a motorbike, even a moped can't do that.
Hell, even a 125cc motorbike would be struggling.
