Actually you can't be in the bike lane with a bike that goes that fast under most state laws.

Look like the only reason anyone finally called the cops in the final attempt was because the noise of the power tool was too distracting & potentially constituted a "weapon".

Excellent! That clears it up. Thank you.

...cuz gravity!:cool:

Irrelevant. There IS a speed governor in place. That was my original point. Sorry you missed it.

Wrong again. Just because there is a slight decline does not mean that the motor is not helping you achieve a high speed. Try riding down a small 1% hill with the motor off and then again with the motor on. You'll find the speed is higher with the motor on....cuz physics...

Well I'm 165 and on a relatively flat surface I hit 24mph before the motor stops contributing due to the limiter. And as far as your "cuz physics" claim, perhaps riding downhill with full throttle doesn't qualify as physics!:p

This is a new Bafang that uses metal gears similar to the prior motor.

Incorrect. Actually physics will allow the bike to go faster but the bike will cut off the motor at 40kmph.

Likely manufacturing since no visible damage on box.

You just said the Rover motor contributes up to ~25mph. Then you imply only "other brands/models can go faster than 20mph". Last I checked ~25mph is faster than 20mph by ~25%!

Got it but fork was bent so waiting for replacement.

Mine was Bafang too. Plus, the kickstand is much more substantial than the one reviewed here. And interestingly this version has the Zero PA mode, whereas the previous versions did not (they only went down to 1). Finally, the top speed is adjustable to 25mph! I feel like I won the lottery with...
