my 250 w is very adequate as is about 20 mph
giving it a full horse would be daft and scary
if i wanted to play with speed and horses i know folk who make rather special ice machines, feed the horse nitro is only the start of how daft those things can be for covering a short distance rather quickly
tt bikes are "enthusiastic" and little use on a road or byway( and i beat one from the pub to the flats on foot vs road in a 800m race)
i know them, i do not encourage them
750 on a cargo bike that needs to do hills seems about right, could a pack pony carry that load up that hill? that is the drive power needed
i have serious misgivings about electric scooters
we have hire ones round here
massive risk to the rider, most have not a clue about road sense being car drivers
they are not stable on lumpy or "soiled" surfaces
being car drivers on things that cannot manage slopes(we have a few even in york)they use roads, see road sense etc, or try driving in mixed use spaces in ways that are not ideal
the centre of gravity is very moody even with an average sized rider, they are not built for a gutterside "bike lane" on an A road, nor are bikes, i ride that as a road user(did i mention how poor bike lanes can be to ride in or on no matter how much propaganda has been splurted about creating them) |
