The answers can vary since different ebikes have different levels of assists from 3 to 6 assist levels. Some even have 9 assist levels like the Bafang. What is your cruising speed?

I think we have to be careful to avoid generalizations worded like that about the bike itself—the rider of the ebike controls the speed—and yes, the beefier motors can help propel the bike above “normal human bike speeds” if the rider so chooses—yet daily, I’m routinely passed on the road by non-ebike cyclists, when I’m at an average of 16-18mph.Ebikes are much faster than standard bicycles so the possibility of more serious injuries, especially to pedestrians and standard bike riders is a danger.
