Note that ebikes in the EU are limited to 25 km/h and 250 W. Thus there is little difference in practice with regular bikes ... except when climbing hills.


Max 25kmh is stupid. 5km slower than the traffic I'm trying to keep up with, so being constantly close-shaved is an e-bike pain.


It's the perfect speed. It's around the upper speed of cycling somewhere like Copenhagen, so the people on e-bikes by too annoying for the people on bicycles.
