0o0o an amazingly stupid american quote pulled from the comments... hilarious and wrong in every aspect

For us people in the US thats perfect because most people derestrict them here! In our country bikes and cars go as fast as we want them to go and then our enforcement people put speed limits and they issue penalties based on that we don't let communists take control of any of our possessions when we buy it we control every part of it including the internal programming of any computer system that's in the object we buy😉💪🇺🇸 God Bless America you guys should get better leaders don't let them rob your hard-earned money with gangs of police going after hard-working people for bullshit

Wow 😂

Personally I prefer the consumer-friendly RTR ebikes be restricted OOTB. Having people fly past you on the sidewalk riding 45km/h, without a ding of the bell or any warning, is not nice 😭

People who DIY an unrestricted setup usually tend to go fast on the road, probably because they know what power they've got between their legs lol
