Hey forum,

I've been looking into purchasing an electric bike, and the form factor/looks of the Batavus Torino or Batavus Genova is basically where I am heading. It does not need to be a Batavus, but only knowing about that brand apart from some local ones I take that as an example.

The requirements is that the pricerange is "around" 1500 pounds, and the second requirement is that it has an unlimited throttle, either delivered with this - or a possibility to "unlimit" an existing throttle or add it EASY.

When I say unlimited, I am still OK if it limits on the speed limit for e-bikes, which here in sweden is 25km/h. But I don't want it to be limited to 6km/h (walking speed) which some of them are.

We have a brand called "EcoRide" here in Sweden, which does deliver with this throttle, but I like the looks of the Wisper and Batavus models, and would prefer something with a tiny bit of more quality.

Can anyone point me at some brand/models where I can get the above, or does all brands in general support throttles?

Oh, and one last thing - they need to be able to deliver within EU, (to Sweden to be precise) but I guess most brands are able to, to some extent.

Thanks for any valuable input!
Johan
