woof
25Km/hr is pretty standard for electric bike legal limits, with some places in the us making it 25mph instead. The thing is is that many 5 and 10 speed bikes break that, but oh the electrons make it all the difference. The electrons make the bike hurt more when a person is hit by one, don't you know.
Now think about e-cargo bikes. They have to have the power to carry their load at 20-25Km/hr, but when you aren't carrying a load you are now going to be going faster. Go to fast and you will have your bike seased, and that is $3000+ USD gone.
That's a crazy low speed. Amateurs average 20mph for 5 hours all the time. Not me, I'm old now, but wow.
