Is PAS supposed to cut power at 20 mph?

Greetings,

I notice when I hit 20 mph my watts drop to zero. I can still get full power with the throttle but that cuts off at the 28 mph legal limit.

Is there a reason for this I am unaware of?

It may be a display setting. But without knowing what the display, eBike, and motor is we're at a loss to help!

Thanks, I specifically did not mention that because I wanted to know if it was this way regardless of brand / a legal reason.
On a Magicycle the max speed setting is 28 mph which is where I have it set.

There is no legal eBike that can go 28mph on a throttle. Class 3 is pedal only to 28mph. Class 2 is throttle and PAS to 20mph max

They responded instantly. See your manual. Support says it's a setting.

Apparently you started several threads. I posted the manual link from Magicycle support. It took 2 minutes for them to respond.

Nope, just this thread on PAS.
I asked here because I want to know if this is common from other manufacturers / a legal thing.

Thanks I understand the classes. This one is strange, pedal power gets cut at 20 mph but throttle gets cut at 28 mph.
Sounds like this is not the norm for other bikes.

This one is strange

Each of my ebikes could be set to have the same parameters. The maker wrote it was a setting.
