i can with what i have and can go off road and down canel path ect but at the end of the day they can drain my batt down till it is flat and they can still keep going.
That really isn't the point. If you are riding with'unassisted' riders you shouldn't behave like an ar$eho%e.

Best electric road bikes 2025 — choose an e-bike that looks like a road bike to add power to your rides
How can you tell the best electric road bikes apart from the crowd? You can't. And therein lies the magic. Today's e-road bikes bring to the fore a new age of assisted cycling. They're slim, light and inconspicuous, all thanks to the motor and battery being nearly tucked away inside the frame.
We're going round in circles - I have an Orbea Gain, same EBM system as the Wilier, same 15.5mph/25kph assistance cut off. All I want is a more sensible extra 2-3mph assistance!Take your pick MkII

Whatever you choose you'll still be accused of cheating by unpowered riders... no matter what it looks like, drops or not.

People I ride with are very understanding - as long as I don't ride like an a***hole up the hills, as I said - it's bad form! After all they can drop me easily when the road levels out.
Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"
I'm considering the Orbea Gain with the rear hub motor (Ebikemotion X35 v.2) and wondering if anyone has an idea how to "fix" the speed limiter of 25 kph. There is a sensor in the right rear dropout and 20 magnets in the cassette lock ring. Do you think removing 10 of the magnets (every other...

AFAIK there is only one fix available, so far, from a set up in Australia, and the reviews are not very positive.Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

No it is not nonsense. I was in the cycle trade from the early 1950s, including selling and fitting the petrol add-on cycle motors of that era, and know the scene then and the history throughout only too well. The huge decline in cycling in the '60s and 70's caused a halving of all retail cycle outlets and even the closure of some wholesalers. The trade only picked up again with the arrival here of the Mountain bike in 1980, another form of sport cycling. Club riding is and always has been widely considered to be a sporting style of riding, the drop handlebars and frequent wearing of specific cycling clothing such as Lycra bearing witness to that fact.
This is so wrong it's almost funny. I live in the North Downs, a very popular area for club cycling and training rides and on one occasion of the Tour de France starting in London, the competitors wre hosted by our local club. They were taking them on training rides during the two week s prior to the race start. So I see club riders all the time, know a few of them and fully understand and appreciate your way of cycling, but it has nothing whatsoever to do with power assisting bicycles.
I am not in any way contemptuous of your favoured form of cycling, I strongly support all forms of cycling. What does annoy me though is when someone like yourself presumes to lecture me when they know so little about the subject. By that I mean that if your bike cuts off power at 15.5 mph, you've bought the wrong bike, despite how fine the Orbea Gain is.
What you should have bought to suit your riding is an S class e-bike, since their maximum permitted assist cut off is at 45 kph (28 mph). They can also be up to 500 watts to enable that, though most are 350 watts. That would mean you'd need to register it under the equivalent moped L1e-B class and have a rear number plate and third party insurance, the only way they are permitted here. It's little different elsewhere though, only three other countries in Europe, Germany, The Netherlands and Switzerland permitting them, and also under the same conditions. In most USA states they are banned.
Over the whole 13 year life of this forum we've suffered a constant stream of pedelecers posting as you've done on this subject, all needing to be informed and all arguing back. Indeed it's been the most irritating of all the forum's aspects.
You've posted in the Electric Bikes general discussion forum, but we do have a Speed Pedelecs general discussion forum specifically for your interests, showing we are far from contemptuous of your riding style. Here's the link.

He doesn't want to go up hill faster than non-assisted riders, wants a max of 18mph on the flats - and wants drop handlebars...
You may not get what you want even if there is no restriction,. Hub motors like yours have there rotation speed largely tied to the motor winding, and that is usually specified for the bike's legal purpose. The only way to defeat that form of limit is to use an increased voltage battery since that changes the speed pro rata.
I notice the Wilier you mentioned is also limited to 15.5 mph assist.
