Sadly, even with accoustic bikes you get the antisocial on shared paths riding furiously. I worry that if defeating assistance limiters becomes mainstream then the antisocial out there won't even need to exert themselves to ruin it for everyone.
- thevagrant 4y agoIt is true. I think the limit should be there by default, even though I modded mine. I talked to others in a cycle group and they commonly had older riders joining with a new ebike only to hurt themselves as their riding skills did not match the speed of their new bike. Personally I only ride full speed without the limiter when on the road. If riding on paths or populated areas then I slow down to a cruise.
