I've never seen a scooter nor e-bike for sale that includes such a feature. Unless you're talking about rental scooters, which doesn't make sense to compare an owned car against.
- mulmen 2y agoMy Class 3 ebike is governed at 28mph when pedaling or 20mph on motor alone. Above those speeds the motor just turns off. I can pedal/coast above that speed but the motor does nothing. This is a legal requirement to meet the class specification.
- RIMR 2y ago>scooter nor e-bike for sale You're forgetting that the majority of electric scooters and bikes out there are rentals. Every single one of them has geofencing and speed governors. Currently, if you buy your own (aka, one that is "for sale"), you can do with it what you want. I wouldn't us the same argument for a car that you own, because there is significantly greater public risk associated with misuse of an automobile. The technology does exist though, and it is trivial to implement.
- foxyv 2y agoSpeed governors have worked for much longer than the history of computers. For geo-fencing you don't need GPS and can use proximity. However, I'm pretty sure you would use a very inexpensive microcontroller with GPS in addition to an antenna for an aftermarket addition. Almost every e-bike and scooter is sold with a speed governor. This is so they meet the regulatory requirements for Class-C electric bicycles. https://www.heybike.com/blogs/heybike-blog/ebike-classes-1-2-3?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjpmsifPqhQMVEUp_AB2k6QFJEAAYASAAEgLKt_D_BwE https://www.heybike.com/blogs/heybike-blog/ebike-classes-1-2...
