FIFY

"Of course EU regulations, contrary to the US, limit pedal-assist bikes to a maximum continuous rated power of no more than 250 W and a speed to 25 km/h before cutting out power, leaving you to rely your legs for more speed."

So, about 2% of the e-bikes sold are still bicycles.
Many Esnobs turn their noses up at anything less than 1000w
