hemo wrote:30 mph assist speed is illegal yes, as with most China kits and some OEM hub bikes the speed can be adjusted in user settings hidden menu.
As I stated it was for a one off test to see what it's capability was.
All of my ebikes are set to 17mph/27mph as this is deemed legal allowing for the 10% over reading as with all UK motor vehicles, on Pedelecs some where there is a draft reply from Transport minister or DVLA stating this

There is a major typo in my test above 27mph should read 27km/h.

Why don't you just edit the original typo?

I was thinking some sort of electric assist folder, possibly with a BB motor as opposed to on the wheel (not that she will change punctures, but so that someone else/I can without being put off by the electrickery). What's good and what's to be avoided?
