Ebikes in Europe are limited to 250W and electric power cuts off above 25km/h (15.5mph). Ebikes don't act differently than normal bikes on the road/path. They go the same type of speed, and they are silent. They're not scooters.
- mulmen 6y agoI don't live in Europe. My buddy has an ebike that can go 30mph for 30 miles. I see the same model on the bike path at least a few times a week, often at high speed. The rules are irrelevant to capability. I do own a European car, it is happy to go 120mph on the highway, even if that's not legal anywhere in my country.
- loeg 6y agoDifferent ebikes land in different regulatory classifications. Your buddy's "ebike" is legally a moped (US). Class 3 ebikes can only assist up to 28 mph. The people riding that model on bike paths that do not permit mopeds are breaking the law, just as if they rode any other moped on that path.
