When it comes down to it I don’t think that the throttle or max assist “mods” cause safety issues to be concerned about, but that’s based on my experiences and the people I see using them.
I need to move to your neighborhood.
My sample is made up of mostly middle class parents in the center of town and on Rad bikes specifically, we have plenty of heavily modified and unsafely operated e-bikes flying around here too
Plenty of modified e-bikes around, my impression is that Rads (particularly family friend ones) aren’t the ones getting hacked much and the ways that they don’t comply with the regulation aren’t important safety-wise. It seems like it’s usually the TOTAL shit pieces or VERY VERY nice bikes hat are getting the high-speed mods.
I have no data other than my observations so who knows if I’m correct.
