Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 15, 2019 Share So you just let the engine idle if not pedaling then its not a motorbike?Sigh. No. If it has a throttle, it's a motorbike. If it's pedal assist and pedal assist only, then it's an ebike. It's not a difficult distinction to make.

Headshot Posted May 15, 2019 Share cos the one has a throttle, whereas legit e-bikes are pedal assist. There are "e-bikes" that are just electric motos with MTB componentry, but because the drive isn't dependent on the pedals being turned, they're not ebikes. All they have done is covert the twist throtttle into one operated by your legs. "Twist" or spin your legs and the motor revs up. Whats the difference? I met an eBike operator on Sunday. He was broken down at the side of the trail and when I asked him what was wrong, he said his bike was playing up, i.e the motor. The digital screen said "error..." He also told me he had removed the limiter very easily and it could now ride it as fast as his legs could pedal. If it worked of course. I noticed later on Strava that he had got going but his average speed was very low for an eBike making me think he had toughed it out and pedalled the 23kg thing around all by himself...
