Started OK
abandoned when it wouldn;t continue without me saying what my salary is
and no option to not say

Also - very US orientated and there is a big difference between US Legal ebikes and UK legal ebikes

Thanks for letting us know how you feel about it! Can you let us know what you mean by US legal vs UK legal? That I am unsure of.

Do you want to participate in a national survey about e-bikes?

Did you say you are MBA students? Do they teach you to use your brains at any point?

What is the point of us completing your national survey when most of us don't live in your country or even the same continent?

The motor output, continuous, is different, the maximum speed at which the power assist has to cut out is different.

US laws only permits three wheeled cycles, see the UPS delivery trikes. We have e-assist quadracycles permitted within the rules. DHL have trialled them over here, but US regulations prohibit their use.

I stopped at an early option when none of the options fitted and there was no 'other' category to choose.

Thank you classic 33 for the information. This is great to have as we are learning in this market through your comments and responses on the survey.

It’s not national if your survey is going out beyond your borders .

dontcha know people of a certain country assume everything on the interweb is from that country and everywhere else doesnt count , a bit like world champs in sports only they bother with ?

UK and EU legal has a max power of 250W and a speed cutoff at 15.5 mph (25 kph)
no throttle allowed (although that can be overridden but it is not easy)
other things as well but that is the main summary

Of course, before someone else says it , there are more powerful 'ebikes' of the road - often used by food delivery people - that go whizzing around with minimal pedalling, Looking at them the rear hub looks like it has about a 1000W motor. But these are illegal and are technically an unlicensed moped.
