I have one. The motor will only provide a boost until the bike is moving at 32. Say I'm pedalling down a hill and doing 30, it'll only provide a 2 km/h boost. If I get to or exceed 32, the motor won't engage. So you can ride at however fast your legs will carry you, but you won't get any assistance to go faster than the limit.
I like that folding model, as you can take it on the subway. My office is at Dufferin and Supertest (north of Finch) and I've been thinking of relying on the subway instead of my car, but the bus is a slow, traffic stuck option.
Occasionally, that e-bike in question can have a $200 coupon from Amazon, dropping its price down from $799 to $599.
I tend to agree with him. We have a lot around here and they ridden in just about location in any manner. Some seem defiant of the rules of the road (and common sense) but other just seem to have no clue how to safely operate them.This article says it best….as a motorcyclist and bicyclist I find ebikes to be a scourge.
I can't tell the wife she's stubborn. Are you married
What happened to your ebike?
And people shouldn't necessarily interpret that to mean they will obtain certification from those organizations. They often just mean 'do you want the logo'.
Absolutely true. The entire UL/CSA/Intertek certification is a racket. I am disappointed, but not surprised that Canada does not require every electronic device sold in this country, included and especially on Amazon to have a CSA certification. If it doesn't have a CSA mark, Canadian retailers are not supposed to be selling UL or ETL marked electronics unless it has the Canadian equivalent "C" marking.

When it comes to electrical/electronic devices, I would never, ever buy something from Amazon unless it was a known brand; certainly not from some unknown third-party seller. I realize even the brick-and-mortar commerce isn't perfect but how Amazon gets away with some of the dangerous junk they sell amazes me.Absolutely true.

But even then, when you think you've covered all your bases, the subterfuge resumes. I remember when my team designed a plug in plug air purifier. We paid for the the top rack ETL testing. When we got the prototypes our regulatory guy discovers that the company who got the ETL certification was not the company name we paid to have this done. That's a problem with China, where there's so many layers of players. When our supposedly ETL approved device started to smoke we cut our losses and walked away.
So, I'd start my ebike search with this query.
List of e-bike brands not made in China
I am looking to purchase my first e-bike, can someone please suggest brands which are NOT made or assembled in China, NOT owned by a Chinese company and containing as few Chinese components as possible? Thanks in advance.

I don't trust the supposed good ones. I never leave my phone, ipad or laptop plugged in overnight. Even for good batteries it's not good for their lifetime to be plugged in always. I had an app on my phone that beeps when it reaches 80% so I'll unplug it before it overcharges.

New York’s E-Bikes Keep Catching Fire, and It’s Getting Worse
Electric mobility devices are exploding at an increasing rate. But without a better understanding of the problem, it will be hard for the city to address it.
My kid's friend's brother almost burned down the family house because he brought an escooter into the house and plugged it in overnight. They escaped, but my kid's friend had to run through the fire to escape, burning her feet.
True, but I think it's the rechargeable sort that are risky. Even Teslas and other EVs suffer battery fires. I've read that it's increasing due to a lack of cobalt.
