January 7, 20197 yr Crazy speed I mean real limit in my case ofc Real limit?... How big are your balls? If you're building the bike, the limit is what your budget will allow (ignoring legal limits of course). You need to define either your budget, or your requirements. Deciding on one will sort of decide the other for you. I wouldn't get too hung up on top speed. I personally find 30-35mph is about as fast as I'm prepared to ride without motorcycle grade protection. Besides, the real thrill is acceleration, not speed and fast acceleration is much more useful in an urban riding environment than a high top speed. Edited January 7, 20197 yr by danielrlee

The problem is my main requirement to keep motor marked as 250w. I seen somewhere a threat about getting 500w motors labeled as 250w but it was not clear where you can buy them. Can you? Totally agree with you acceleration > top speed. My budget for complete set is about 800-1000£
January 7, 20197 yr If legality is a concern, you'll also have to conform to a 15.5mph assisted limit. /fun FYI, 250W stickers are available if you catch my drift... Edited January 7, 20197 yr by danielrlee

January 7, 20197 yr Author Nice one for that! Now I I am thinking about something more powerful than 250w What would you recommend? I am after good acceleration, speed 25-30mh and shop has to be UK based. I rather think about hubdrive motors now.
January 7, 20197 yr this section of the forum is for road legal kits. If you want to ask questions about go faster kits, you should start a new thread in the speed pedelecs-general-discussion. https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/forums/speed-pedelecs-general-discussion.43/
