I'd argue 25-30mph is not an easy cruising speed for most bike commuters. Unless I'm on the wrong forum and everyone here races Cat 1/2 in their spare time.

- dylan604 5y agoI'm no competitive cyclist, and in pedal assit mode on my eBike, the motor stops being because I'm pedaling at 20mph on my own. My eBike is also a big heavy bike, so from where I'm pedaling, I'd assume others can do the same on a better bike. <shrugs>
- stefan_ 5y agoPower required increases with the square of the speed being primarily a function of wind resistance at higher speeds. Your motor shutting off cause you hit 20mph on a slight decline might give you the wrong impression. Maintaining 25mph requires in excess of 300 watts. Some 90% of the population won't be able to produce that for a mere minute.
