I'm a complete Newbie so please be gentle when I ask this stupid question...
I'm a little confused about how you control the acceleration & speed of a UK road legal ebike without a throttle? Assuming you set the power & max speed on the controller at the start of your journey, what stops the bike accelerating towards max speed every time you do the slightest pedalling? If you stop pedalling or touch the brakes, the power cuts and you slow down until you release the brakes & pedal. So how do you adjust the torque to achieve the actual acceleration or speed required, or is it literally as crude as the power is either on or off?
