I know a lot of states have a 20 mph speed limit on electric motors on bikes.

Maybe just keep it slow when cops are looking.....
So many throttle controllers and governers now- Canada boasted 40 kpg in 2001, but CA restricts them to 20. I rarely overpower mine. The rear hub cassette was geared very very low, so I swapped my front gear to the largest and highest I could cram in there.

It is like an overdrive, 1 or 2 more mph; but down hills- my heart doesn't beat that fast
