E-bike legislation. Here in BC Canada, you’re limited to 500W motor and 32KPH. while I have no problem with the speed limit, I think they should allow up to at least 1000w motors. Heavier individuals such as myself would crush a 500w motor.
pretty much. You can easily get a 1000w motor up to 32 mpg/50 kph. And I fully understand the concern. ebikes were outlawed in an American city after an ebike collided with a senior citizen, killing her. Which is why I feel they should focus on speed instead of power. There’s always some idiot (looking at you Sur Ronster) who will do dangerous stuff without a care about others safety. And they ruin it for everyone else.

Are they worried people will bypass a speed limiter and go faster on the 1000w motor?
