Same here, seems a silly limit since it is lower than my normal cycling speed on a non-assisted bike on the flat!
It can be done here, we have a class between e-bikes and mopeds, but you do have to register, insure, etc. so it is not worth it. Do it in France and there is a €30,000 fine, 1 year in prison and loss of your driving license for 3 years!
Lot's of serious hill climbing back up the mountain to my house!Of course I don't know the details there, but my lovely accountant here says that anything that I use more than 25% of for business is legally business-related (if I wish to claim it that way). So find one of those 'U-store-it' places with a free month's rent deal and use the paperwork to prove your qualification. Just toss a junk screwdriver inside, lock the door, and it's now business tool storage
As soon as the power company says OK cancel the storage unit. Early cancellation might cost you something, but it's usually just a month's rent so maybe $40 spent to get a $300 check for a net $260 profit, or half of the cost of your cheap E-Bike Guess who found out the hard way? )
Do it! If you get a bike with a proper pedal assist system (with torque sensor), it's really great cardio. I find myself on the eBike way more than when I was a road bike rider. That means more exercise over a longer distance. And I’m discovering way more trails than ever before.Various electric utilities here in Vermont, including my provider Green Mountain Power, have been offering rebates on the purchase of eBikes. GMP is offering $300.00 towards the purchase of any bike over $500.00 The understanding about the purchase is that you intend to replace trips otherwise taken by automobile once you get the bike. It's got me thinking about it, except that I work out of a studio and office on my own property so I don't know yet if I quality. Maybe the 10 mile grocery and beer run into town counts.
The ones I've purchased? Yes. I've not had any reliability issues with any of them. I just fine-tuned what I liked and did not like with each one. My first one, the Aventon Pace 500 was really fast (unlockable to assist to 32MPH) but the pedal assist system was unrefined because it used a basic cadence system that used the pedals like an on/off switch. I still miss my second one, the Orbea Gain F30. It was light weight and just felt like a normal bike when the assist was turned off. But it still used a low-powered rear hub motor that didn't have the power to help that much with the hills that I have to contend with. With the Yamaha that I have now...it definitely feels like a keeper. The middrive is really torquey and can leverage the rear gearing for powering up hills. The torque-sensor based pedal assist pretty much reads your mind and will apply power proportionally to the effort you put into pedaling and the power is instantaneous. I prefer drop bars so I can have multiple hand positions for long rides. I'm very happy with it.
if you look closely, you can see the truck driving around in the video
I have a stock dual LED headlight, added an extra hi power 1500lm headlight and two rear COB LED stop lights on each side of the forks, it gets OK visibility. As for helmet I do have a full face motorcycle one but usually i don't use it in the city / traffic
