    My eBike (Turbo Levo) only does 20mph max. That’s acceptable. 15mph tho is bonkers. 18mph is fine. But 20 should be the limit.

      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.

        As a long time F1 fan. I know. But I don’t see a need to lower the top speed from where it is for Level 1 e-bikes.
