i can just about reach cut off speed now on the flat and avg 28mph with me 20t sprocket tho the fkn crank arm fell off at the docks pmsl and on way back nuked 4 plod on bikes going down the canal as was looking for a dead body lol.

There is a new divice on the market that allows one to set their own assist limit so in theory a limit of 15.5 + 10% could be set but the problem is that for those who want to go faster then a 10% or even 20% increase would never be enough..

I imagine I got lucky with my bike since it assists to 17.5mph. Making it technically illegal out of the factory by just under half a mile an hour.
.45 mph exactly.

It's enough! lol sorry to doubt your assumption though
There will be speed freaks of course but don't assume that anyone ot happy with the 15.5 cutoff is lookingfor more and more.

I may be in a very small minority but just the same I say that I cannot ride a moped- I cannot drive a car- but I would like to be able to go 20mph on an ebke because that isn't an unsafe speed unless you're an ass who doesn't deserve the privelige. And they always get weeded out at some point or another.

I guess I don't..Maybe I'm doing 15 and think I'm flyin maybe I'm doin 20 and well.. The point is max 20 is ok in the right settings.

120 on the motorway never really is right? 20 down a twisting cycle path isn't either but it shouldn't be regulated

Don't rest on your laurels ffs, keep pushing on, someday you'll get pushed in the drink by a random strangers unpredictability, or just put them in hospital, perhaps yourself too, but speed is king and so are you for now, congrats!!

As a pedestrian, it drives me mad when cyclists overtake me close from behind. So effing ignorant!
