Been looking at these recently (knees getting dodgy) but apart from the price, I find they are limited to 250W and 15mph for road use. To me this is fine in towns and cities, but I want it for rural road use, they do "Conversion kits" to fit your normal bike, and these come in 3 sizes 250W, 500W and 1000W, the latter two restricted to 250W by default unless you buy a led panel to override the limiter, for off-road use. What's the point of limiting them when an ordinary bike, even with me on it can easily regularly travel at 20+mph even in town. It means folk like me can't go for a nice bike ride of any distance unless i want to pootle along at 15mph, surely it would make more sense to unlimit them so that you could use full power of the more powerful motor on the open road, but switch to 250W if you entered a 20-30mph restricted area. Similar to having to take your foot off the gas in a car!
