I hate to burst your bubble, but that's not an e-bike. It's a motor scooter. It was tested in traffic as a motor scooter, it costs about the same, and it should be licensed as such. The only similarity between it and a bicycle is the pedals, which are all but useless on an 80 pound machine.

The writer(s) wants to have the 28 mph speed limit to be the default, not 20, and speculates that it's that way for safety. He/they should have done a bit more research. It's done so that it doesn't require a license plate or driver's license to operate on the street. That's also why they call the real 28 mph limit and "off-road" setting.

So if you want a bicycle with some boost, this ain't it. If you want a motor scooter there are far better options available. Honda makes at least 4 of them.

I’m sorry to bust YOUR bubble but it is clearly an E-bike I don’t care what it was “tested” as. Do 5 mins of research on that particular model and get back to us. There are some that look similar that don’t have foot pedals that move that are considered E-motorcycles but this model Super 73 e-bike is a class 3 E-bike 

Ever try to pedal a bike weighing 80 lbs? or with 80 lbs of cargo on it? Obviously not.
