Need help for a very tall (and heavy) rider

If Euro 750W limits are desired

It is 250 W. That's why I told Alby not to listen to advices from non-Europeans (@Alaskan is a notable exception here. His remark on R&M Supercharger 2 was valuable).

NCM might be a German company but trust me they mostly sell overseas. Germany is too a serious country related to safety and law to allow such monsters there. And Germany is the "home of e-bikes" surpassing the number of these vehicles in North America tenfold

The looks are not for everyone but I would check out some Cargo bikes, something like a R&M load has full suspension and a weight capacity of well over 400lbs, you could test one right there in Germany before dropping all that cash!

Dear all, many thanks again for all of your answers.
you gave me lots to information to work on !

There was somebody from New Zealand talking about his Surly this week. They are probably for sale in EU, too. I don't recommend the 250 W EU compliant motors, but the nanny states here that limit to 350 W no throttles haven't forbidden the sale of 2000 W power wheels. You buy it over the internet, bolt it on your bike, you're Jolly Roger with no license plate or insurance. Maybe that works in Europe. I find the 500W Mac12 to be amazingly powerful up to 23 mph, hard to find but worth it. Had to pay $70 to get it laced into a wheel. Mac12t is not for sale on built e-bikes for some reason. Tell me again how useless diy bikes are? As compared to the "500 W" radwagon that there was complaint this week wouldn't carry a purchaser up a hill? Much less his 80 lb groceries. Somebody that has to have 25 mph can buy a Mac10t, but I'll scoot across the 6 lanes on a 6 second green light faster on my Mac12t.
