This bike was up for sale longer than most, and one reason I think I snagged it is because the owner mistakenly advertised the bike having a top speed of 20 km/h. But it's a US-market bike, and the speedo reads in MPH. Maybe he didn't know that. So vmax is actually 32 km/h, which is Ontario's max e-bike speed (and many states, I think).


Fumes: I always imagined I'd build an e-bike (or aero e-trike like Toecutter's). Life got in the way! Maybe later. Do it!
