the bike i'm looking at does not limit the top speed
It will be illegal to ride such a bike on the road without registration etc (as per a motorscooter).

It will do the opposite for your weight, fitness
i meant in terms of the rider power, not the motor. that's limited to 250w or 15mph. i'm more than capable if cruising a lot quicker than that on the flat...It will be illegal to ride such a bike on the road without registration etc (as per a motorscooter).
Well if theres no evidence then the national curriculum has completely cocked up.Is there any evidence to support that or is it just your gut feeling?

Work done = force x distance.
If only it was that simple.
Not for me just now thankfully, although earlier in the year I thought it might have been. If it for you just now, go for itnew job is a mile or two further. will an electric bike help? there are large chunks of the commute where my speed is below the 15mph that the electric motor would get me to.
i've been burned at the lights by many a chap with a battery pack on the downtube.
tia, all experience shared welcome...

Work done = force x distance. With electric assist you apply less force to the pedal thus you do less work. Work is a measurement of energy, so you burn less calories, meaning if you don't change your diet to compensate then the excess calories turn to body fat
Your Physics is sound, your logic is flawed.
After several years of injury and serious illness, I'm limited to about 20/25 miles on my conventional bike.
Help with what? It will help you get to work feeling more energized for the day on less breakfast and possibly negate the need for a shower. It will do the opposite for your weight, fitness, bank balance and ability to carry it up steps.
Wrt speed it depends on how fit the rider is.
This is where it gets really interesting. There is plenty of research on this topic, on the whole, ebikes make the general population healthier, not less so. However the impact on the individual can vary. It very much depends on the kind of riding one does, and how using an e-bike changes behaviour. Someone getting off the bus, or out of a car will clearly benefit.Is there any evidence to support that or is it just your gut feeling?
well i've now decided that as i can get a carbon 105 bike with mudguard and rack fittings for less dollar i'm going for that instead.Oi, OP, you are a fit lad.. get on yer non electric bike.... tisk tisk...(we've ridden together to those that don't know). The odd car/public transport day to break it up if it get's too much.
I commute in the car now with my back, hate it.. but... I'd ride if I'd not lost the love with cars/drivers.
