This I guess I hadn't thought about, as it goes over its cut off the increase in effort you have to expend to carry it any further is very noticeable.
Yesterday was pedaling bullitt around on the flat at 20 (4mph beyond governer) no problem, getting beyond 20mph the brick like aerodynamics have an affect.

I rode a chipped bike that was in for repair, it wasn’t what i expected, you have to really work once you’re over 20mph, it didn’t feel as dangerous as I thought it might do. Not sure how savvy the cops are to all this, but yeah I appreciate your stance on it, better to be in line with the law of the worse happens.
Shame legislation in the UK is so ridiculous for high speed models, full size motorbike number plate, helmet, not allowed on bike paths etc. If our rules were more like Belgium’s then high speed ebike would be easily done while staying legal. Who’s going to put a full size number plate on an ebike?!
