Lol, that illustrates the main downside of legal e-bikes on the road. That journey is, like, 10 mins max on a proper road bike cruising at ~28kph...
i.e. on legal e-bikes the cut-off is too low if the terrain is mostly flat.
This is super obvious on my commute downtown. E-bikes rip past me up the couple hills but then get caught on the flats / dh sections. Only side note to that is the e-bikers are typically noobs... so not sure if a long term rider could squeeze some better performance.
Buddy on the e-cruiser, fatbike 24" whatever it is, that barely pedals and does 40 sure drops me though...
