25 might seem low but when I pedal only I go about 22-24 km/h. Going 25 km/h electric only is more than enough. Then you can pedal and go even faster. In a city you will have to break soon anyway and you realy start to feel the wind.
The diference between 25 km/h electric and 25 km/h pedal only is the acceleration and the fact that electric motor never gets tired :)
To have a good acceleration they sell bikes with 500 W motors that are limited to 250 W. I guess in software.
The bikes that I tested, all have pedal assist but also a separate throtle.
- dzhiurgis 9y agoI can go 31 km/h with my legs only with all the additional battery and motor weight. That limit is silly.
- GoToRO 9y agoWell yeah... it depends on the rider. No limit will be fair for all. And then you can go downhill much faster.
- Someone 9y ago”Going 25 km/h electric only is more than enough. Then you can pedal and go even faster.” European “Speed assist” bicycles that max out at 25km/hour don’t do 25 on their own; they decrease the amount of assistance to zero when your speed reaches 25. If you don’t do over 25 on a ‘normal’ bicycle, you won’t do it on one of these.
