And a good 2-stroke Euro scooter can climb at 80 kph easily (a whopping 100-105 kph if you mod the piston to 70cc). Given those awful speed limits enforced by e-bike companies, that's more than twice the speed. They'd better find a way to protest these stupid laws if they wanna keep selling stuff.
If you got about 2000$ to spend on a fast transport option, either get one of these scooters or a used car... Legal e-bikes are just useful for lazy people or senior citizens.
