Other Considerations
Recently in the United States, legislation was passed that set the maximum speed of an electric bike at 20 mph without pedaling. However, with pedaling you can attain speeds of well over 20 mph. There are many companies that manufacture and sell electric bikes so specifications vary, but typically, the bikes are powered by 150-400 watt motors. Also, the bikes can cover a distance of between 10 and 25 miles on level pavement before needing a recharge. Depending on the type and size, recharging the battery can take between 3 and 6 hours.
