Speed kills, acceleration doesn’t. The speed limit for e-bikes is 25km/h, that’s good. The power of e-bikes is 250 watts, that’s stupid, and it makes some hills impossible.
The power should be at least 1kW. Then you can climb hills and tow loads up to 25km/h. Australia doesn’t make cars anymore so unlimited power on an e-bike does not threaten the car industry. Just make serious fines and confiscation for wheels that allow more than 25km/h.
Wish: rebellious Byron Council overrules state and federal laws about e-bikes!
