Shocked to find ebike sellers claims for power/distance
wildly unrealistic... (OK can't believe all you read on www)
I suspect any diy project ...might benefit from very careful
Inspection/comparison of all claims made by parts sellers, also.
You will see all kinds of wildly unrealistic claims by these people. Its very unfortunate. I even see what I consider unrealistic claims posted on here by members. It would be nice if folks were realistic.

Mellow,
How are the ebike laws enforced in Europe? Do they pull you over and check your motor out. What happens if your running a 300W motor? Do you go to jail? Do they take your bike? A 250W limit is a really stupid law. I would never survive as I currently ride a 24V 900W mid drive unit that I made. 250W is painfully slow and provides minimal hill climbing ability.
