I built my own velodrome in the gardenWhy would you want to ride this on private land?? You must have one hell of a long drive as its no good off road. Its designed for the highway.
You don't need to derestrict it, that is the whole point of such a bike.
Well the uk ebike speed limit is lower than other countries so its speed will be artificially restricted to speeds below that permitted in other countries and presumably below that which it is designed for.
What's the speed limit in Spain where the bike comes from? I suspect it will be 25.......kmh!
1. It is a light weight bike, you can pedal past the limit with relative ease. The assistance is there for climbing.
UK e bike electric assist limit is 15.5mph/25km/h, same as in EU, Japan, NZ and many other countries.
There is no speed limit in NZ at present but I suspect it will come, there is 300w power limit. Unfortunately we endup with lot of 25kmh Euro sourced ebikes instead of 32kmh USA ones. LBS said it was because lot bikes come from Australian distributors and they don't want to carry two versions i.e 25kmh for Australia and 32kmh for NZ.
With the distances and the state of the roads it is logical that there is no speed limit. I have read that NZ drivers don't like cyclists? This is of some interest to me as we have begun talking about a Cape to Bluff run with my GF.
Ok fair enough. I like full assist all the time so a bike like this wouldn't suit me.
This is Cape to Bluff ride that Kennett brothers organise every year. Route is mixture of quiet country roads and moderate off road MTB tracks. Best done on hardtail MTB, but if you bypass odd offroad section any touring bike should do it.
With the power off Rob, can you feel much of a drag from the motor, or other than the weight of the motor and battery, would you say it rides just like a normal bike?
