Pedal assist to 20mph is ok, and then if you want to go faster you can pedal it like a bike with no power. The ones that modify to go faster than 20mph with pedal assist will find out quickly they run out of battery FAST.
Bike with throttle to 28 mph.... scary. On a gravel road..... somebody is going to eat it.
Also, comes a point when too much weight (motor and battery)makes the bike ride dead.
