I’m a person living in a rural area and have to either go by train, the nearest station being 15 mins away by car and the trains having a schedule that keeps fluctuating.

Or have to go by car where it takes 60 mins to get where I need to go. I wouldn’t want to get a late pickup or anything outrageous just something to get me places.

I’m not a car enthusiast or anything like that.

    25km is so frigging slow. My wife has a normal bike and she has to slow down for me (on ebike) to catch up. I don’t understand why they didn’t make it 30km/h, plenty of people cycle that fast.

      I can cycle faster than 25km/h with my pedelec by using my legs. The bike does not stop me from going faster, there is just no motor support then.

        My ebike is incredibly heavy, it’s really hard to cycle without power. It’s got a large, heavy battery and thick tyres.
