I bought a 2000 watt dual motor ebike for ~$700 online. It's internally governed to have a max speed of 35 mph, and while that is technically illegal and I could technically defeat that governor and go faster, actually going 35 on a bicycle, even on normal roads, is pretty stressful. That's a lot of force to be putting on some thin steel tubes. I feel like laws to require licensing and to limit where you can ride ebikes above a certain weight class will save a lot of stupid people like myself from gross injury or death. That being said, I hope they don't take them away, because they are a lot of fun in the right context. Being able to bike 25 miles and still have the oomph to power up the hills near my house is fantastic, and occasionally, in safe conditions, being able to move 35mph is fun and helpful.
