@BIGPIMPINUPDANYC

They won't allow it because cycling doesn't cost petrol or road tax. So they limit the speed so that people don't choose bicycles instead of cars to get around. The government doesn't care about being "green", it's all about money.

I love this!

@kauaikit

We don't.

Plenty of people get their bikes de-restricted, and to be honest batteries capable of over 500 watt or so are too big and bulky at the moment anyway.

But yeah it is BS that they're restricted in the first place, especially when the Government is constantly banging on about trying to be 'Green'.

@kauaikit you might as well drive a moped you twat

[KBPtv]

mate, Russ Downing could go up that at 25 mph

[kauaikit]

Oh, as an ebike rider here in the States, I'd love to ride in Europe with their SILLY 250watt/15mph limit....NOT.

It's just so much more enjoyable with 1,000 watts of optional juice, to ride up that same hill going 25mph (40kmh) on a bike weighing 60+ lbs (132 kg).

Why do you tolerate such restrictions on freedom?

[robhingston]

That's what I call light for a battery.

wish I had that on my bike sometimes..
