Switzerland allows 500w motors. I so wish that the EU would follow this. 500w can fit in a motor that doesn't make your bicycle look like a moped and the battery can be taken home for charge in the evening.
The 25km/h and 250w limit is what is preventing me from getting one. I don't really see the point when I can reach that with human energy.

The point is to do the same thing you could do before on your own, except with less sweat and fatigue through electrical assistance.
- jsilence 13y agoOn a cargo bike 250W and 25 kmh totally make sense. Recently had the chance to ride a pedelec bullitt and it was great fun.
