There is in fact no need to speed test whether flawed or not, in most cases the motor alone is enough or the presence of a speed control operated device is enough to see if it propels above 6km/m.6 kilometres per metre? Can you explain what that means, please?
March 28Mar 28 It is a spelling error , should read 6km/h.A legal speed thumb device or twist and go must not exceed 6km/h without pedaling unless one has V5 certification. Edited March 28Mar 28 by Nealh
