Guess which one of these vehicles has a motor that prevents it from going too fast for the safety of others? (lemmy.world)

I dunno why you're getting downvotes, I built my own e bike from a kit, and the speed limiter was enabled via a jumper that was uninstalled by default. Pedal assist was also completely optional. The thing could go 45mph (about 70km/hr) on level ground

I never rode it in pedestrian spaces though, as it would have been very unsafe to do so

    Because I outed myself as one of "those people" who dare to own a truck for literally any reason, probably.

    What kit did you use? I'm looking into building a capable ebike with my friend who needs to replace a car they can't afford and something slow would be unsafe on the highway we call a main thoroughfare between them and where they work.
