How fast can an e-bike go?

0

As mentioned before, US law states that no vehicle classified as a bike can exceed 20 mph on a level surface unassisted by the rider. Typical e-bikes therefore can reach this speed with only the electrical motor engaged, but some can exceed it if the rider assists by pedaling. Malama e-bikes use a German built brushless electric motor which, on level ground with no winds, can carry a 180 lb rider at 18-20 mph unassisted. Thanks to the 6-speed Shimano derailleur and pedal assist systems included in every bike, they can also be pedaled by the rider to climb hills under heavy load.
