This should not be labeled an ebike and it should not be allowed on bike lanes... and yet they are in my country 😔
I know most of you disagree, but it is not safe to share a bike lane with throttle things that weight 40kg and can get to 60kmph.

These things struggle to get to 30kmph going uphill they can only go that fast (barely) on flat ground. Some simple age restrictions and maybe a car L's would be more than enough legislation imo, its not really a motorbike. Those go 90kmph, even uphill.
Ebikes dont cause fatalities cars do and cars are only getting larger and less safe for everyone around them.
oduh@reddit
You say "struggle to get to 30kmph uphill", but you share the bike lane with normal bikes and they struggle to get to 10kmph uphill.
A good speed for non-electric bike on flat is about 20-25kmph. The road speed is most of the towns in Europe is less than 40kmph. Where do you think this "ebike" belongs?

ehh that's what dual hub is for literally fly up a 30 degree grade at 30mph

Looks fun. What's the battery capacity.
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
I only have one battery but it has the capacity to add another. I've gotten about almost 60 miles so far with just one charge. Charges pretty quickly too!

Looks fast. Have fun but please don’t get in trouble… it makes the rest of look bad
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
Yep, I'll take my time and ride! It is surprisingly ergonomical to pedal so when I'm around pedestrians I keep it to <10mph :)
It can get up to 38 on the road though.
SexiestPanda@reddit
Is that 38 while still pedaling? Or just throttle?
I wanna get something like this that can go fast, when necessary and able. But I still wanna be pedaling lol
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
Throttling, but I think it can get that fast with just pedaling as well. Probably would be ghost pedaling but It has 5 pedal assist levels and I only keep it at level 1 so I have more control!
SexiestPanda@reddit
What about hills? Does it go faster than 8mph up a hill? lol
wukongaddict@reddit (OP)
Yep! It also has a boost mode that's like a nitro feature that makes acceleration noticeably faster 😅
