minus-squarepsud@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·5 days agoI couldn’t electrify my bike, it is a recumbent that can get to 60km/h under my pedaling power (and I’m not that fit), more when going down hill. It would exceed the e-bike speed limit even on a 200W motor

minus-squarepsud@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 days agoI do them quickly enough, about 8 to 12km/h depending on steepness
minus-squareNighed@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 days agoThe motor could help on the hills still and would give you more weight for the downhill stretches!
minus-squarepsud@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 days agoActually it’s fine here. Ebikes are power limited, scooters are speed limited.
