    how many watts for a e bike

    Hi deffx where abouts are you? I will look up the actual legislation later. Something I have noticed in the past is the actual legislation differs to the warm fuzzy stuff they release to the public as press releases.

My bother(bother) in law is a mechanical engineer and has won comps for 350 watt recumbent trikes. He is convinced 350 watts is enough. I was wary of direct drive to wheel due to...

    how many watts for a e bike

    Because of the 250 watt limit I would be looking at the most efficient method of power transmission. Thin tires and anything else I can do to limit rolling resistance is where I need to end up. Thanks for the info
