I guess, the limit doesn’t apply for every country, but at least in Europe it’s quite common.

Using an exoskeletton would also get around the speed limit for the pedal assist.

    Only… the speed limit of an e-bike is lower than the speed a normal bike can go when, for example, the wind is at your back, so that’s bollocks.

      It’s more the power that can be applied. Most people capable of getting a pedal bike up to those speeds also know how to read the road for safety. Even then, bikes can basically disintegrate in a (initially) minor accident.

      A powered bike is capable of destroying itself if misused.
