My AL1020 has an top speed of 45 km/h at flat using 48V 20A X-controller and 48V battery.

Wonder if there is any foldable 16" ebike has top-speed > 45 km/h?

I will try to achieve that speed with my 16" ebike as soon as I have got the spokes fixed. :)

There are no ebikes that go that fast, at least not on their own. 45km/h is moped territory.

That is moving! I just built up my Crystalite 406 36v 35a cont. system on a 26" mountain bike and i max out on the flat at 31km/h. It sort of freaked me out the first ride. I did not expect to go that fast. Right now i don't want to go any faster..At least till i get used to it. To go 45Km/h..that's moving!

By your logic, a TT road bike with a freewheeling hub motor and lithium battery would not be an ebike?

This is a partially foldable 16" which is electronical limit to 32km/h.
It has an motor similar to an other e-vespa.
Wonder if it could go 45 km/h with 48V battery and non-electronical speed limit?
